[i]Auz slid his right leg back to maintain balance as he was pushed, and when the King flinched at about the same time, attacked. His arms came uncrossed in a blur, right hand siezing the nearby hilt of a dagger and flashing out with feverish, whiplike speed. The King would have nary a chance to keep the tendons in his left forearm from being cleanly cut by the devilishly swift blade of Auz. If his tendons were severed, he'd lose the ability to hold onto the wily immortal.

That was a negative, considering how Auz was among the top five deadliest knife fighters in the multiverse.[/i]
