himself forward, determined to finish it while he had the advantage.

And then he heard a voice in his ear telling him to stop. He ignored it.
It was time to finish this bastard Rakama. This had been coming a long
time.

Relkin had come in through the refectory door and heard the fight at
once. It was what he'd been expecting and dreading for days. Swane and
Rakama had really hurt each other, blood all over. He didn't hesitate,
waving the other boys to help him as he stepped in and took Swane down
with a low kick into the back of the knees. Swane fell backward with a
startled cry. Curf and Howt jumped on him and pinned him down.

Rakama lurched off the wall and would've kicked Swane on the ground
except that Relkin was there to block him.

few bad days up ahead.

"Swane, stay down, I swear I'll kick you down if I have to." Curf and
Howt grappled with Swane again, who struggled in their grasp.

"Shut up, Quoshite! This is my business."

"No! It's all of our business. You two have been going at each other for
months. It's got to stop. Dragons are feeling it. We're all tired of it."

"He'll be tired, when I'm done with him."

"You should see yourself. You're both gonna be up on charges as soon as
