[h2]Tyaethe Radistirin[/h2]

[i]This[/i] time, she wasn't going to let him pull back together... well, if he could even manage it from a strike like that; the number of people with some sort of immediate preparation to deal with decapitation was quite small. One person, perhaps, she'd ever met had any ability to deal with that without thinking too much about it. Damon Cal? Well, he wasn't going to get the chance, not this time.

"This is why you don't play around with the Knights," the smaller of the two vampires said, grabbing the decapitated head by the stump and lifting it aloft, practically daring the currently disconnected head to waste even more of its precious blood stabbing her or something to reconnect, "You never know when they'll surprise you.

"Well, not that you're getting another chance."

Still, Tyaethe was certain he wasn't dead yet, not quite, but comparatively harmless now. If it had been something else targeted... that could have been quite messy. Maybe she should give lessons on how the more esoteric forms of undead [i]worked[/i], even if people found it weird that she knew some of these things when they didn't apply to vampires. But how else were you supposed to kill them if you didn't know the basics?
