"Meadow!" Starglow shouted. "Stay back!"
Starglow's agony was great, but his desire to protect
Meadow was much greater. So he again reached for the
sword. Just as he lifted it, Gorath's heavy boot smashed into
his hand. The sword flew out of Starglow's weak grip and
landed by Meadow's feet. Without hesitating, she picked up
the weapon and ran to Starglow's side. Surprised, Gorath
backed up a few feet to contemplate the situation. He
certainly hadn't expected Meadow to put up any physical
resistance.
Starglow reached for the sword Meadow held. "No!" she
said firmly. "You're hurt." When he started to protest, she
calmly said: "I am a woman and your lover, Starglow. But
don't forget that I am also a warrior like you."
Starglow nodded and smiled slightly. He kissed her
trembling lips and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.
Together they bravely waited for Gorath to approach them.
They were going to resist to the death even though they had
little chance to defeat the mighty Gorath.
"We're ready," said Meadow boldly. As she looked at
Gorath, revulsion showed clearly in her beautiful green
eyes. She had withstood his drunkenness and savage nature
long enough. She preferred to die here with her beloved
Starglow by her side rather than return to Gorath's cabin
