Bring him directly down upon the killer behind... Bring him directly down upon the killer behind the rock
The branch held, but the leaves crackled loudly as he pivotedHe'd known they wouldThe Quileian flung a startled glance skyward and grappled for the bow
Not nearly fast enoughScreaming at the top of his lungs, Devin plummeted like some hunting bird of these high placesBy the time his target began to move Devin was already there
Our kick-drop from the twenty-seven tree, he thought
Falling, he tilted his torso so that it angled sideways across the upper body of the Quileian and he kicked out hard with both feet as he didThe impact was

They smashed into the ground together, tumbling and rolling away from the base of the boulderDevin gasped agonizingly for breath, he felt the world sway and rock wildly in his sightHe gritted his teeth and groped for his dagger
Then he realized it was not necessary
