with a sharp "YAH" Cormac and Setanta galloped forward, as they were closing in Setanta turned hard and Cormac leapt from his back into the air, performing his battle-leap, as he sailed over the minotaurs head he stabbed hard downward with his glaive, aiming for the soft spot at the base of his neck. The minotaur barely raised his axe before the glaive bit deep into his neck, entering his internal organs from the top down. Cormac released the shaft as he hit the ground rolling. In a moment he sprang up behind the other, shield on his arm and sword in his hand. He lowered himself into a battle position as he twirled his sword. The second minotaur roared and slashed his axe toward Cormac's head. Cormac ducked quickly and delivered a stab to the minoaturs side. He then was forced to jump back as the minotaur brought the axe down at the ground. The axe stuck briefly, but it was long enough. With a mighty stroke, Cormac seperated his hands from his arms at the wrist. The minotaur bellowed in pain, but was quickly quieted as Cormac slashed his throat with another blow, and then knocked the bull-man to the ground, finishing him with a stab to the heart. Cormac pulled his sword from the body and quickly dropped to his knees, holding the sword aloft. "Nuada Airgetlamh, look here." he said, addressing the Riada god of war. "I sacrifice these bulls to you, grant me further victory on my quest and the blood of my enemies will be to your honour." Cormac dipped his finger in the minotaur's blood and quickly painted his own face, drawing a line down from each of his eyes and down his chin. He then produced a ceremonial knife and slashed his hand, drawing a rune of conquest on the minotaurs chest. "Behold my offerings, and find them pleasing." he said finally. He then bound his wounded hand and cleaned his weapons. Conchobar again settled on his shoulder and he rode on. "Soon I shall reach the red mountain."
