A Warrior's Redemption (The Warrior Kind)

They were literally licking the blood from the wounds moaning as they did so all the while making fresh cuts with small knives they kept in their hands. When the blood flow slowed in a spot they moved on. They were literally becoming drunk on the blood of the men!

I had never seen such a spirit of unholy debauchery before, not even in the arena. The two soldiers were already slumped in near death, not even moaning anymore against the pain, as their very life was sucked from them. Seth was still conscious and somehow his eyes found mine and I saw his bloody lips mouth the words, "Forgive me!", and then more forcefully, "Run!"

The blond that he had taken a fancy to earlier stood up before him. An inhuman look of insanity gripped her jubilant face, as she grabbed his hair and pulled his head back and slit his throat wide open. She dropped the knife and thrust a goblet under his chin to catch the rest of his blood. Dropping his drained head she drank from the cup, spilling its contents down her naked body. Finishing she dropped the cup and with arms out stretched she screamed shouts of glee that were sickening to behold.

Unable to stop my body's reaction to what I had seen I leaned against a tree and lost the contents of my stomach onto the ground as I vomited violently. Straightening again I looked once more upon the scene. All three men were dead for sure now. I needed to get out of here! The savage need to stay and avenge my friend though made it hard for me to leave.

Just then a commotion broke loose among the women. Four women came hurrying in from the forest carrying Kana's lifeless body. I started to move back into the forest, but one of the women spotted me and screamed an alarm to the others as she pointed at me. I turned tail and ran.

They would cut me off before I could reach Flin and the girl so I led them away from them hoping to be able to double back to them later. Running as stealthy as I could through the dense thicket I still must have sounded like a marsh buffalo crashing through the heavy underbrush to their trained ears.

They were everywhere with their flashing torches. I started to double back and managed to duck out of the way of several of them. I thought I was clear of them, until I heard the snap of a twig breaking behind me. I wheeled around to face the danger, and my quickness of movement saved me. The blond, who had killed Seth stood not twenty feet away with a blow gun to her mouth.
