It was within a still moment that Ares had reached out. With his ring he shifted the earth around Inta to cover their body, and then he shifted the sack of coins away from Faltain.
The Ten and the ten soldiers then clashed against one another. The humans that had been captive had tried, unsuccessfully, to push aside the Ten that then charged against Faltain's escort.
Faltain himself, in his passion, flung himself at Ares and the pair locked steel. Yet a spear was quite awkward to use in such close quarters and Ares summoned a blade to his left hand, though Faltain managed to slip his blade against Ares' side.
Hot crimson pooled down the blade, but Ares lunged forward and head butt Faltain, causing the man to fall back. Then Ares shifted the earth around Inta away and grabbed at the wounded wolffolk. He pulled Inta behind him.
