Description
There was no sound except for the nervous clatter of Ares' hooves on the immense stone slabs of the bridge and Sir Tainus' own breathing; heavy, hollow and harsh within his great helm. The Knight knew that he was only going to have one chance at this. The jousting lance he carried was not truly a weapon, yet no sword or ax would suffice - hand to hand combat with such a monstrous troll was to sign one's own death warrant. He pulled Ares' reins, wheeling the big destrier and cantering back the way he'd come, opening enough room for a charge.

"Wait for me, Iliane," Sir Tainus asked, as he touched his spurs to Ares' flanks, and the horse sprang forward, headlong towards the waiting troll.
