Warcraft: The Shadow Blade by Adam Hart
Slowly drawing his blade Trah silently crept upon the wolf ready to strike when a sudden screech sounded throughout the forest, startled, the wolf turned around and saw him then bared his teeth and began to growl. Trah muttered a silent curse under his breath and wondered why a gryphon had to come at the worst of times. The wolf pounced at him trying to take a chunk out of his arm and without think Trah slid to the side and jumped forward and while slightly above the ground, struck the wolf between his ribs before it had a chance to even see that Trah had moved from where he was standing. After being struck by a vicious blow the wolf howled and right when Trah was about to finish it he was rammed from behind and launched forward striking the ground headfirst. Falling to the ground and getting his lower thigh torn open by a jagged rock he winced and turned around to see what attacked him seeing three more wolves come out of the bushed and began to mutter the words of power for the single spell he knew.
Upon finishing the words of power two vine rose from the ground and wrapped around two of the four wolves and squeezed them so tight that their back broke within seconds.
