Little Wisps

Seeing Leiluo at his feet, Kaz'goroth's eyes flashed with surprise. But before he could react, his body moved faster than his mind. He raised his right leg high and stomped hard toward Leiluo.

Leiluo skidded to a sudden stop, halting his movement, then threw himself backward. He lightly pushed off with his foot, rolled once across the ground, and safely dodged Kaz'goroth's stomp. Then he sprang to his feet and dashed forward, reaching Kaz'goroth's foot. He raised Black Cleaver and sliced off half of Kaz'goroth's right hoof.

"Argh!!!"

They said pain in the toes pierced the heart, and a horse that stumbled on its forelegs was doomed. It was clear that toes and hooves alike were vulnerable spots. Even Kaz'goroth couldn't bear having half his hoof cut off.

Kaz'goroth staggered backward, growing more pained with every step. He managed to steady himself, but before he could catch his breath, Leiluo charged again and hacked at his injured hoof. This time, Kaz'goroth could no longer keep his balance and toppled over.

Leiluo was already waiting below, battle-ax in hand. The moment Kaz'goroth fell, Leiluo swung his ax upward. With a wet chop, Kaz'goroth's head was severed from his body.

Perhaps it was fate that Kaz'goroth's enormous head rolled right to Azshara's feet. Azshara froze in surprise. In that instant, Cenarius bound Azshara's legs with thorns and yanked hard. Leiluo seized the opportunity and rushed forward, swinging Black Cleaver. Blood gushed forth, and a fine head rolled across the ground to stop beside Kaz'goroth's. The two stared into each other's eyes, as if voicing their unwillingness to accept their fate.

"Lord Cenarius, please help heal my warriors!"

Leiluo wiped the blood from Black Cleaver with his sleeve, then approached Cenarius and bowed. Cenarius was quite pleased with Leiluo, who had helped him,
