COTH SEES THE BLOODSTAIN ON
KERWIN'S TUNIC AND A CRUEL SMILE
TWISTS HIS BITTER MOUTH. HE STANDS

-MAKE THE CHALLENGE. VAL RIDES
OVER AND TOUCHES LANCE TO SHIELD.

BRUISED AND SHAKEN, COTH STAGGERS TO HIS FEET AND :r
DRAWS HIS SWORD. HIS ADVERSARY DISMOUNTS SLOWL'Sf
LEANS WEARILY AGAINST HIS SADDLE FOR A FLEET
ING MOMENT, THEN DRAWS AND STANDS FORTH. A .
COTH REGAINS HIS STRENGTH AS HE -.
FORCES HIS FOE EVER BACK. THEN
COMES DOUBT. HIS MOST SHREWD

BLOWS-FROM ALL DIRECTIONS,
NUMBING HIS SHIELD ARM, DENTING
HIS HELM. THE WEAKLING HE HOPED

VAL DOES NOT KILL COTH, BUT LEAVES HIM
SOBBING WITH. EXHAUSTION ON THE TRAM
PLED SWARD THEN, HOLDING HIS SIDE, HE
WALKS SLOWLY. TO THE TtN I Vt- KERWIN
