Mason Templar drove Caliburn's huge blade through the tough skull of a thirty foot long crocodile. He'd arrived to find only a few of them left, and one began snapping at Erasmus.
So he killed it.
A second turned and lunged at him. He sidestepped the huge jaws, then thrust Caliburn into the gaping mouth. He pierced the flesh inside, then withdrew his blade. The beast writhed in pain. He jumped onto its leg, using the limb as a step to reach its back. He drove Caliburn down into the spot at the base of its skull, hoping that the blow would finally kill the creature.
It writhed and thrashed beneath him, and he rolled off the beast and drove Caliburn through its soft eye.
It finally seemed to die.
