Bending over I retrieve the dagger while keeping my eyes on Pilmo.
As soon as my hand touches the hilt she pours mana into the silver orb that was handed to her.
My dagger goes flying a moment later hitting her right in the wrist that covers her chest.
The orb drops from her hand and the markings dim.
Instead of rushing Pilmo I draw my sword and lop off the head of the mage, making sure she is dead.
Dropping the heavy blade I sprint towards the moaning Pilmo who has fallen to the ground.
The dagger is embedded into her thin wrist sideways.
I grab it while she screams out in pain.
"Mercy young master"! she begs as I tug at the blade with my foot bracing her arm.
"No" she screams as a sucking noise is made while the blade is removed.
As soon as the dagger is pulled out my knee falls on her stomach and I saw off the rest of her hand while she bucks and roars beneath me.
