"Stay back!" I tried to shout. It came out as a wheeze.
The Huntress turned her attention to Seraphina. "The holy knight. Crippled but still fighting. Admirable but pointless, but admirable."
Seraphina struck anyway.
Her holy blade met The Huntress's palm.
Abd stopped.
"You're brave," The Huntress said. "I respect that."
Then she broke Seraphina's sword, she just grabbed the blessed steel and shattered it like glass. Seraphina stumbled back, shock clear on her face.
The Huntress's palm strike hit Seraphina's chest in an almost gentle manner and Seraphina collapsed unconscious before she hit the ground.
"She'll live," The Huntress said calmly. "I'm not here to kill you, not yet anyway, you're too useful for that for now, I'm here to teach you a lesson."
She gestured. And someone appeared from nowhere, placed Seraphina's unconscious body beside me.
"The lesson is simple. You are children playing at war. We are war itself."
