I looked at my hand andthe sword in it, surprised at my strength, speed, and agility. I putthe sword away and moved to the young boy that still lay on...the ground,blood coming from his back. Other Fae slowly approached me, but I feltno threat from them. My hand rested on the boy as I squatted down. Heseemed so young.
