new weapon

"By the gods..." Jorrik held a hand to his eyes and looked away from Tiella. He knew the giant would be good in a fight, but the woman? The one who was now floating?

His arm reflexively fell to his empty scabbard. His sword! He was defenceless. He looked around and by the body of a crushed valkyrie lay one of their shadow-blades. Black, smoky runes flickered around it. He grabbed it, the cold seeping into his hand even through his gloves. It would have to do for now.
