Sunblade
Beasten of Onderon
My breath and resolve falter with each strike that the bastard king delivers, and I can feel my grip start slipping on the handle of my blade.
No!
My heart clenches in my chest, and I redouble my efforts, but the surge of desperation renders me foolish. I feel the searing beam of his lightsaber singe the flesh off my left arm, burning through the armor as a hot knife through butter. I grit my teeth and back away, thankful for the rain, for it soothes the scorched skin and muscle. I wish to nurse the injury, to move even further away and lick my wounds in peace, but I know I must not relent. He is like a dog with a bone, and now I've given him the scent of blood.
As I stumble back again, I see his hand coming up in a claw-like gesture, nearly disfigured as the blue streaks of lightning crackle forth from his fingertips.
No…
My blade comes up to shield me from the Sith's attack, but I am slow, and tired, and bleeding, and the electricity dances along my muscle and bone. I jerk like a doll, a marionette, a slave to his puppeteer, and consciousness and control both start slipping away.
NO!
I snap back to reality, and with will of steel, drawing from the very last reserves still within my battered body, I pull my cramped thumb up.
And I squeeze.
No!
