Colton charged the tight ring they had formed, breaking it and allowing himself to be immediately overpowered by them. He withstood only a few blows before one sent him tumbling to the ground, and then the soldiers leapt from their saddles upon him. He would have been killed then, or at the least beaten and taken captive, had not Tyran come charging down upon them.
This little exchange made me laugh:
“Your friend is asleep. Arrived on the doorstep carrying you, both of you looking like dead men.”
“Dead men don’t walk.”
The old man was still staring sharply at Colton. “I wouldn’t put it past them.”
Great work!
Thank you! I had fun with this scene. 😂
Interesting turn to the story!
