The night was getting cold something Biamm hadn't expected in the desert, It had been so damn hot earlier in the day. After the sun went down over the horizen a chill had come over the landscape almost as if the desert were afraid of the night. Biamm grinned at the thought. It had reason to be afraid. All manner of things went bump in the night. Things that she hoped to find and dispatch. A howl on he wind made her turn her head in a futile attempt to locate the source. Soon though the howl was joined by others in a multitude of directions.
Biamm tried to think of what it was that could be out here in the dark howling but her schooling hadn't been too in depth on life forms. At least not in identifying them. It had been more instructional on how to dispatch them. Whatever was out there sounded like it was coming for her. That was just fine.
The first canine appeared in front of her teeth bared and growling. The creature towered over her own six inch heigth but she wasn't worried. She stared at the animal and screamed back at it, "What are you waiting for? Come on!" The scream almost cost her her life as it masked the sound of the others approaching. The faint sound of claws against a rock made her turn to face the threat. An oh shit later and she ducked under the bite from the first beast. The second made an attempt to latch onto her left leg. Briamm stepped into the attack swinging her knee up violently as she did. The sound of the canine's jaw snapping was unmistakable in the quietness of the desert night. From behind her the orininal dog made his attack sinking teeth deep into her right shoulder.
The other canine sensing the fight was almost over lunged for her throat and the killing blow. Biamm let her body go limp before reaching behind her and grasping her sword in both hands. She swung the massive blade free and in the same swing removed the lower jaw from the animal holding her. She fell to the ground on her back with the sword pointed up at the stars. The canine who had leapt at her didn't have a chance. It would have tore out Biamm's throat if she had been standing but lying prone as she was it was easy work for her to raise her arms, and the sword, to disembowl it. A shower of blood and guts rained down and Briamm laughed gleefully. This was a wonderfull way to end the night!
