Thal caught the swift movement out of the corner of his eyes but couldn't turn to watch the arrow as one of the drakes lunged snapping jaws at him, its teeth dripping with something that both looked and smelled unpleasant. The other reared back, seemingly in preparation for something, its jaw opening wide, and Thal took the opportunity immediately. Skirting away from the teeth of the first, he thrust the arrow-turned-spear forward at an upward angle and drove its pointed end into the drake's softer throat. The thing let out a gurgling roar and thrashed, forcing his grip to break on the weapon, and he leapt back away from an attack from the other.
Eyes wide and ears flat, he spared just a moment to glance back towards the kid and felt his heart drop to his stomach. Then he was running, past the drakes and tearing the spear from one of the beasts as he went, and charged straight for the giant, black-skinned man-beast ahead.

"Song dogs barking at the break of dawn, lightning pushes the edges of a thunderstorm; and these streets, quiet as a sleeping army, send their battered dreams to heaven."
