- He heard the name, but listened to the warning in the tone. He pivoted on his heel, feeling the static of an energised blade crackle over the scars covering his face.

The sword was withdrawn before the truncated cognitive routines that replaced his attackerโs mind registered that it had been struck.
- The alien steel was steady in his hand, as if forged to be there, its edge already thirsting for the next. And the next. All of this occurred in the time it took for him to blink.
