Elias began to walk toward Marina again, his hands reaching for her throat. When he saw that, Greg's patience, the peace he had built his whole second life around, and the control he had kept by finding Kael's body, learning about Denna's fate, and watching Ryn give herself up finally broke.
Greg moved faster than Elias had ever seen him before. One second he was ten feet away, and the next his fist hit Elias's jaw with enough force to spin the man all the way around.
Greg hit Elias again before he could get back on his feet. The second punch to the stomach knocked the wind out of him, and the third to the side of the head made his vision blurry.
"Do you want to kill her?" Greg's voice was eerily calm as he hit Elias again, this time breaking his nose with a sickening crunch. "Do you want to take the last person I can save?"
"The last person in the Crimson Falcons?!"
"After Kael!" One punch.
"After Denna!" Two punches.
"After Ryn!" Three punches.
