#Chapter13
Ambush
Talus' POV
My heart hit hard against my chest. That guy was going to kill the Sul. I ran as fast as I could to the tent. The silhouette of his attacker was slim. He raised his hand with a sword in his grip. At any moment Cabana was going to be stabbed.
/"Toss me your spear!/" I yelled at a guard close to the tent.
The man looked at me like I was an alien.
/"Now!/"
Reluctantly, he tossed it to me. I caught it and launched it at the tent. As the attacker was about to dive the sword into Cabana, the spear tore through the tent and pierced his head. The guards posted at the Sul's tent ran inside it.
When I reached, I saw the Sul lying on a mat, panting heavily. His kirtle was soaked with sweat. Next to him laid his attacker. The spear was stuck in his forehead and blood streamed from it. His eyes were wide open and his long brown beard was stained with blood.
