WW XCVI - The Fell Winter of 2911

[Kitanna]

The retired barkeep woke from a chill. How had his home suddenly became so drafty? He pulled his robe on and padded out of the bedroom.

The door was open. So this was how it was going to be. “Show yourself! I've survived worse than you.” He snarled into the darkness. He closed the door. It provided him some sense of security, though he guessed his attacker was in the house already.

From the shadows stepped the final villagers to sign a pact with the wolves. “I should have known it'd be you. You'll not have me and I'll see to it you're strung up tomorrow.” Nogrod knew better. His spoken as though he'd actually see tomorrow.

With his attention focused to the front Nogrod missed the silent footfalls of padded and furred feet coming from behind. The alpha and his mate attacked from behind before Nogrod had the chance to respond.

He poked an eye here and kicked a ribcage there. Even in retirement he was a formidable Hobbit. He refused to go down without a fight. “Give it,” the fiend said. “You're embarrassing yourself.”

Nogrod had managed to punch the alpha in the face, distracting him, but the female had latched onto his leg. Blood coated her jaws. Even if he broke free he'd not make it very far with his injuries. Still, he wouldn't give in. He pulled his arm back to slap her muzzle. Her mate grabbed hold and gave him a shake before clamping down on his jugular.
