| 86 Repeatedly the Hresh strikes at you with its axe, each time only the quickness of your movements save you from certain death. Against the force of its weapon your sword has little impact. You are in deep trouble. Calling upon your knowledge of the Shimmera you step back from the creature and lower your arms to your side. The Hresh is dumbfounded as you let your guard drop and stand defenceless before it. In this instant that the creature is confused you work the illusion of the Shimmera. As if by magic your image begins to flicker and fade, your move from solid enemy to nothing more than a shadow. And while the creature stares out into nothingness you deal it a lethal blow from your new position at its back. The Hresh falls like an uprooted oak onto the floor, blood welling from a deep wound in its neck. It does not please you to kill in such a manner but you have no choice. The Tellandra is more important than your honour.
