Another dagger thrust came at him from the side, threatening to slash across his face, but he ducked below as it went past. Normally Jay will have backstepped, but he was at risk of getting too far away from the luminous orb.

If Jay fought in the darkness, he would have no choice but to run back to the entrance where he could see again; the entrance wasn’t too far away, but the clouds were dark and thick, hardly any light got past them, less still got past the massive stone slab roof that jutted out of the entrance.

Jay raised his shield as the next one came right after, grazing across the shield as he deflected it.
