His eyes glow with a maniacal Š anger and, without warning, he closes his hands Š around your throat and crushes your windpipe in a Š vice-tight grip. Blood pounds at your temples and Š your vision blurs as he lifts you bodily from the Š floor. To break his grip you slam your boot into his Š stomach and he doubles up, releasing you as he falls Š gasping to his knees. You stagger backwards and grab the fountain for Š support as gingerly you clasp your bruised throat. Š With croaking voice you demand the warrior explain the reason for his unprovoked attack. He answers you Š with a growl, then he draws his sword and strikes out Š at your legs. You leap over his scything blade and Š kick out in mid-air to catch him squarely between the Š eyes with the hardened toe of your boot. The warrior Š is flung backwards and you hear a loud ιCrack!ι as his Š head strikes the tiled floor. Turn to β175β
