The Alpha's Prickly Porcupine
It is a blur of lethal, practiced speed, a testament to the brutal training the Assembly forces upon its elite guards.
Daryl doesn't flinch. He steps into the strike, his twin silver daggers crossing to catch the weight of Glenn’s blade. The impact is a thunderclap of sound that sends sparks showering into the mud. Steel shrieks against steel, a high-pitched, agonizing note that sets my teeth on edge. They lock in a dance of death, two apex predators tearing into each other with raw, unadulterated hatred. Daryl is moving with a limp, his left side hampered by the deep wound from the crash, yet he matches Glenn blow for blow, his movements fueled by a terrifying, burning necessity.
