"You're murdering our own people!"
"I'm executing traitors." Ethan's voice carried no emotion, no justification. Simple statement of fact.
The Harpy shrieked above, its wings generating another wind assault to protect its human ally. But Ethan was ready this time. Crystal Hardening absorbed the worst impacts while his speed carried him around the wind currents.
Time to end this charade.
"Last chance, Han." His daggers gleamed with accumulated blood, monster and human alike.
"Surrender and face trial, or die here as a traitor."
