"Why would I pay you? You'll be dead soon." Sky lashed with her sword the moment the wolf was in range of the tip. Measure exact to her mechanical eyes. Letting the momentum flow she continued to spin and aim her sword, whipping her head around to spot squarely on the wolf. Meaning to drive her back or slash through her. Whichever came first.

Sky put herself between Hephaistion and the wolf, she was stronger, more durable, and better armed. She was the proper opponent for this wolf, based on her speed and strength.
