Azreal tried to scream and struck out weakly with its front claws, tongue flapping uselessly against its neck. Senka easily dodged and skidded to a halt. Her feet tripped slightly on something. She smiled and picked up the stray, broken piece of femur from the ground. She ran, jumped and with both hands, shoved the sharp end through Azreal's eye into its brain.
Senka landed and immediately looked around to find Kai. He limped towards her, dark blood leaking from his shoulder.
"Thanks, buddy," she said, rubbing his giant flank. He purred, leaning into her, and his giant form almost knocked her over. Kai was easily four hundred pounds and his head was almost even with her shoulder. Pure muscle, he'd come to her aid when she was hurt after her last fight with one of these monsters. All he needed was a scratch behind his ears.
“Good job, buddy,” she mumbled. Kai huffed, turned away, and limped his way to the door.
Senka followed him. All seven of the guards were dead, Kai had done a number on them. Senka stooped and picked up a sword, following a blood trail out into the hall. She quickly caught up to the elder, who was dragging himself on his hands and knees for the exit.
She dragged the tip of her sword along the stone wall as she approached. Kai merely stepped over him and padded silently into the jungle to nurse his wounds.
"Please," the elder said. He turned to face her and tried to scramble away. "You wouldn't kill an unarmed old man?"
Senka smiled.
"Watch me."
