A large haedian strutted towards Ethel, his eyes laser focused on her pile. She shrank under his shadow. Here was a real challenge.
"Ethel! Don't fight! Just--" Mendras's shout was cut off as he took a blow to the face.
"Don't listen to him, girlie." The haedian rumbled. He took a few steps toward her. "You got a big pile there. That means you can defend yourself, can't you?"
This was supposed to be a fun free-for-all tournament but it more like life-or-death to Ethel.
He stopped a few paces from her and crouched low. Though her legs felt weak, Ethel did the same, or as best as she could with her prothesis. As he circled her, she tried to find a way out of this. Bargaining wouldn't get her anywhere neither would forming an alliance. This clan would probably take that as an insult and this haedian was looking for a physical fight. She stole a glance at Mendras, wondering just how long she could stall for him. She spotted his tail in the shifting mass of bodies before the large haedian was upon her. With a yelp, she tried stepping back but the swipe caught her chest and pushed her back further. She stumbled backward, scattering the rocks.
