Sah

Only in the dark
of night

Sah's eyes widened both with awe and a tiny hint of jealousy at Deimos' form. The hellhound was quite something to behold, and it certainly did the trick. Crouched behind his ledge, sword in hand, Sah braced himself. As the herd came his way, he let out a breath, focusing his magic. The sword, which Deimos crafted, came to life. The Abandoned's lighting magic forming a current around the blade. The metal made controlling his volatile magic far easier.

As the herd charged towards him, the ledge cut through their path, reindeer parting on either side. Sah waited patiently for his target to reach him. The elderly stag moved stiffly, partially cut off from the rest. Once he was within range, Sah surged forward. The elder tried to swerve out of the way, but his old injury restricted him. Taking the opportunity, Sah struck though the reindeer's chest. the lightning to the heart providing a quick kill before the sword even fully pierced the organ. The creature fell, a clean kill. Sah cleaned his blade in the snow, nodding at Deimos as he approached the spoils of their hunt.
