yet my blood renders me a King
"Well done. You've made progress." Although his intention was for her to get the hang of it without magic, he wasn't going to squash her problem-solving. "I have an idea."
He walked over to the dummy and pointed to specific points on its body. "These correlate to spots on a human body that would be most damaging to hit. The kidneys, the stomach, the neck." He pointed to those spots for a second time. "Cracking someone's skull open is one way to kill them. But if these spots are damaged enough, they can kill too. But there are also less typical targets on the body that you might have an easier reaching for now."
Sah rolled his sleeve up and ran a finger over the visible artery that crossed his bicep. "This spot, on the arm and on the inner thigh. They're spots that can kill someone too. They're messier but if you cut deep enough, they work." He then pointed to the 'arm' of the dummy. "Pretend this is the same point. Try to cut into the 'arm' of the dummy here. If you cut it deep enough, we'll say you 'killed' it."
As a demonstration, Sah turned towards his own dummy and with a slice of his axe, cut deeply into the 'arm', leaving a deep gash on where the artery would have been. "See? It might not look like much on a dummy. But on a person, it could be lethal." He nodded towards Trinket, indicating that it was her turn.
