1355 - The Year of the Harp

Kythorn (June) 23

    Kes struck her's with a crossbow bolt, and it went down.
     I had my sword in my right hand, slashing at one goblin. I hit it several times, but also got hit myself, but nothing serious. I killed the goblin, and the other one came at me. The goblin swung a dagger and cut my right hand, forcing me to drop my sword.
     Milo was beating his two remaining goblins, but one threw a huge stone at him, and knocked him to the ground. The goblins walked up to him, and poked him with a dagger, to see if he'd move, but he didn't.
     Kes was going to finish her's off, but when she got up to it, it grabbed her arm and knocked her to the ground. The goblin then got on top of her and was about to pound it's huge fists on her chest, but she grabbed a dagger from her belt and stabbed it in the heart. She pushed the thing off her, and ran to Milo.
     Milo woke up just in time to stop the goblins. He kicked one in the chest, and the other just fell over. Milo smiled when he saw Kes standing there with a bloody dagger.
     I kicked my goblin in the face, knocking it to the ground. I grabbed my sword with my left hand, since my right hand was wounded. I finished off the goblin, and went over to help Milo. But he was already done too.
     Kes said "Nice moves, Dilan." I said "Thanks."
     Milo said "Yea, I didn't know you were ambidextrous."
     I said "Ambi-what?"
     Milo said "Ambidextrous, it means you can use a sword in either hand."
     I said "Oh yea, I was able to do that for a while now."
     Milo said "Why don't you use two swords at the same time?"
     I said "I never learned how to do that."
     Milo said "Well maybe I will teach you." We entered Luskin the next day and rested.
