Asher rolled down from the top of the dune to the desert floor leaving behind a clear trail of blood in his wake.
All that remained of the Temple twin's formerly beautiful right eye was a gory hole that continued to bleed incessantly.
Although Asher remained still at the bottom of the dune, he was not dead just yet. Hade was certain of it.
'Tsk! Must've fainted from the shock of the pain,' He concluded.
Although Iolana's push blades were malignant tools especially contrived for destruction, their design was oriented for more impact damage rather than penetration.
Therefore, if anything, the blade had only just grazed the frontal part of Asher's skull, without really reaching the cranium of the brain.
'Perhaps if I had put more force into it?' Hade surmised, but that was already water under the bridge.
Besides, he was in no hurry.
