Seeing one of their comrade's fingers break because of a simple action from Amon scared the living carp out of the other guards, forcing them to stop in their tracks again.
Just how powerful does one have to be to be able to do that, and how did he know that he was about to be attacked?
They all gulped, sweating, while looking at each other, hoping that someone else would make the move, but none did as no one wants to end up like the other two, one dead, and one crippled.
Because in this world, being a cripple means having a fate worse that death, after all, you cannot work, hence no one's going to hire you for work, which will force them to beg on the streets, and people are not kind and generous as they have their own life to live, which will then cause them to starve from hunger and soon die.
That's no way to die. They have seen men who have shared the same profession as them end up like that, and even if they are lucky enough to survive, it's not a life worth living.
