Baron gets Shot

"Oh no, you don't!"

Baron stopped and turned. Onyx was standing in front of the door with what looked like a crudely made cannon on her shoulder. A lighted splint was held between her two fingers, hovering about a hole in the barrel and it was pointed squarely at Baron. Baron again failed to show any emotion. Onyx, even more infuriated by his lack of fear, shouted roughly, "Move and I fire!"

Her eyes then widened as Baron turned and started walk away from her, towards the gate. It was a rare occasion now when Onyx's patience and temper not only left her but blew up in her face. Her teeth were gritted together and the small fangs were clearly visible. Her eyes began to bulge madly like the horse's but this was due to anger not panic. She must have popped at least twelve veins and her growls made her sound frighteningly like a wild dog.

In a flash, she had brought the splint down and into the hole. There was a tinny hiss like a lit fuse, telling them that powder had been ignited.

BANG!

Smoke, light and a blurred iron ball erupted from the cannon along with an earsplitting bang like a bomb. The blast was so great that it even knocked Onyx backwards and off her feet. Baron acted as though he hadn't heard it and...

There was a collective gasp from the crowd as Baron's chest heaved forward and a spurt of blood exploded from his side.

I'm actually quite proud of this. I got the backgrounds right and I'm pround of being able to do Baron's skin tone.

Yes, I know I part copied this scene from Princess Mononoke (brilliant movie. If you haven't seen it, go out and buy the DVD now!) as SabrielSinner was kind enough to remind me but, hey! Authors are also thieves.

Sorry, I forgot to add that. If you see anything I should add in the comments, just remind me!
