The sword clattered to the ground and Thanus wrenched his hand back wincing.
Do not allow yourself to become overextended, Hastur said as he stepped forward and pushed the sword away with his foot. And never, ever, drop your weapon. A man can fight without a weapon, but things are much more difficult.
Thanus straightened and slowly began to circle the older man. His fists clenched and unclenched as the ring of bodies closed in around them. Faces both young and old watched as they two began their dance anew. Hastur lunged the tip of the sword darting forward but Thanus was already running. Hastur turned the tip of the blade to where the sword lay but that was his first, and last mistake. Thanuss shoulder took the man in the chest knocking him backward. Hastur struggled to remain standing as Thanus seized his wrist and wrenched the it around. He drove his free hand into the exposed flesh of the mans arm and felt the flesh bow under his blow.
