Sah

Only in the dark
of night

Sah's head snapped up at the bark, eyes locking on Deimos'. He quickly figured out the plan as the hellhound rounded on the reindeer once more. Sah's eyes were already tracking the blind youth, knowing that this was the target even before Deimos started leading the deer over. Settling into a stance to wait, eyes locked on the deer, Sah settled his breathing. For the blind deer, who was upwind of him, the Abandoned was practically invisible.

And so when the terrified creature was in range, Sah struck once more. Blade to the chest, lightning to the heart. A clean kill, just like the last. Sah's eyes were soft on the fallen reindeer, pity in his heart. He took one knee and ran a hand over the side of both the elder and the blind youngling. "Thank you." He murmured respectfully, his voice soft. Standing up he glanced at Deimos, giving a nod.
