538 DXXXVIII. The Shooting Stars

"Archers! Leave your bows on the ground. I want the deal to be respected!" Kranus ordered aloud. 

The warriors at the bottom of the line, next to the man who played the drum for the rhythm of the march, left their bows on the ground, as ordered by their Commander.

The Lies Of Loki warrior loosened his grip on Kron, but he still could not move, being the blade in close contact with his throat.

"I am a man of my word. We have a deal... none of my men will hurt you when you'll run away. You are free to go..." the ice mage continued, crossing his arms.

The enemy soldier kept sweating cold and looked around, breathing deeply and hesitating, as if he was about to jump off a cliff.

"Go, I said! Run away before I change my mind!" Kranus yelled, making everyone realize that his patience had almost reached its limit.
