Blood covered the ground around the where the spear landed. A big hole on the floor made the pouring blood pool there. Matthew dodged in the last second, but Enkidu's weapon took his right ear and gave him a deep cut on the side of his face.
Matthew acted fast and held Enkidu's foot with one of his hands surprising the warrior. Enkidu suddenly felt a deep sense of dread. He looked at Matthew as he were a monster. An unbeatable monster.
Enkidu started to tremble and shiver as if he was cold. His breathing accelerated and he started to hyperventilate. His body was torn between running away or trying to kill Matthew again. He lifted the spear high and stood there for a while considering if he should try.
But the uncertainty of what would happen if he missed or even if he hit his mark made him freeze in place.
