As the pangs subsided, Embry caught a glimpse of his opponent moving hastily to his feet. Good, he thought, bitterly. All it took was a bloody migraine to get some sense knocked into his skull.
But he was genuinely relieved, because he could spot a subtle change in the youth's demeanor, and it garnered a twinge of pride; stale though it was.
Not allowing any time for futher prevarication, the tawny brute initiated a second assault. This time, he dove for the shoulder; pearly whites bared in a menacing flash of natural blade. He knew this would be the best way to get a feel for the boy's fighting style.

I stopped an old man along the way,
hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies.
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you".
