A Burning Ferris Wheel [Malleus]

In response to the boy's question Malleus nodded. Still fixated on getting hurt, eh? Honestly that wasn't surprisingly. It would take more than a few words from a (slightly) older wolf to cure Ashiel of his fear, but at least Malleus tried. "It would," he confirmed out loud. "But a little bruising is worth it; if you use it wisely your shoulder can create a lot of damage while taking relatively little." While it was possible to incur serious injury throwing your shoulder, Malleus had never had it happen to him and he didn't know anyone who had either. "With your shoulder?" He thought for a second and then nodded to himself. "Yeah, soft spots in general are good. The nose, the flank, places like that. My favorite - and one you shouldn't use unless you mean your opponent serious harm - is the throat. With enough momentum behind it you can collapse a windpipe." He paused for a second before adding so that the boy would know just what he meant by serious harm, "It might not kill 'em right away, but I've never seen anyone get up again after a blow like that." |
