The jar shattered on the... «Nevernight»
RamingoWS27 мая 2018The jar shattered on the creature`s beak, broken glass and fine red powder spraying deep into the horror`s gullet. Mia rolled off Bastard`s back to avoid another blow, scrabbling across the dust as an agonized shriek split the air. The kraken released the stallion, pawing, scratching, scraping at its mouth. Tric gave another halfhearted stab, but the beast had forgotten its quarry entirely, great eyes rolling as it flipped over and over, dragging its bulk back below the sand, howling like a dog who`s just returned home from a hard turn`s work to find another hound in his kennel, smoking his cigarillos and in bed with his wife. Mia dragged herself to her feet, sand churning as the kraken burrowed away. Flipping the sweat-soaked bangs from her eyes, she grinned like a madwoman. Tric stood slack-jawed, bloody scimitar dangling from his hand, face caked in dust. "What was that?" he breathed. "Well, technically they`re not cephalopods—" "I mean what did you throw in its mouth?" Mia shrugged. "A jar of Fat Daniio`s widowmaker." Tric blinked. Several times. "You just thrashed a horror of the Whisperwastes with a jar of chili powder?" Mia nodded. "Shame, really. It`s good stuff. I only stole the one jar."
