Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Loss of Patience

To say that Hogny had unending patience would be untrue. There had been so little opportunities, none really, for him to make his move to kill either Zygebat or Gunnar that eventually he just threw his spear at the first one he laid his eyes on.

Unfortunately, the first one he laid his eyes on Gunnar. To make this even more unfortunate, it was while everyone else was present.

It did not kill Gunnar but did injure him greatly. The spear went through his left shoulder.

Upon seeing his half-brother as the attacker, Gunnar could not help but stare in shock. How was this possible? Why was this happening?

It was an even bigger shock to him when Hogny drew his sword to attack. He would have killed Gunnar had Zygebat not stepped in with his own sword and quickly killed the treacherous Hogny.

From far away, the scream of an enraged individual could be heard. The scream was Albaykh's. The ring was lost to him, forever.
