I was entirely frozen by pure terror until Aekthes hit us with an ice blast. I was awoken instantly and I howled in pain.
"Doesn't feel good, does it now?" he shouted.
"Nope, it feels awful like you!" Jethro said instead of me.
"Hey, J, I can handle myself!"
"Duck!" Zaxl yelled as Maelfor pulled an axe out of the ground and threw it directly at us.
Zaxl sliced it in half, then kneeled and winced.
"Hello, what's wrong, little lizard?
"You're making me weaker by drawing out my power!"
"Me? I would never," he spoke in an innocent tone. Nobody was fooled by this, though.
"Aekthes, attack them. Why are you just standing there?!" Maelfor shouted.
Aekthes tried biting my head off but Zaxl sliced through hers instead. She came down with an awful sound and was no more.
"Oh, damn..." Maelfor laughed, an agonizingly ugly laugh.
"Where were we?" Jethro asked.
"Kicking Maelfor's ass, that's what," I said.
