(That whole chunk was just four sentences? Yikes.)

Novo reeled out of reach as the shield smacked against his face, then brought his attention back to Olaf and fired a bolt of lightning at him, knocking the Nord to the ground. His nose was bloodied but otherwise he was fine, and he glowered down at Olaf as he raised a dagger high over his head.

"Maybe so, you Skyrim trash, but I will be the one who ends you," he promised, plunging the dagger down with lightning speed. Suddenly, he was knocked aside as a blast of lightning streaked through the air, sending Novo flying into a heap ten yards away.

"Enough, Novo. This madness ends now," Claudius said calmly, stepping forward with his crystal staff in hand, his noble's robes swirling around him as a cold wind blew through the pines. "Give up now, and maybe I won't have to blast you back to whatever dark pit you crawled out of."

"You bastard... betraying your commander... for what?" Novo spat, rising to his feet with his back to Claudius, tendrils of lightning still arcing off his robes. "Bow to me, little one, and I may yet spare you," Novo offered, turning back to the group.

"I will do no such thing. Come with us, so I don't have to kill you."

"You have no authority over me, boy," Novo hissed, blasting Claudius backwards before the mage could react. Jack hurled a knife at the necromancer, who sidestepped and disappeared, vanishing completely from view. "I will be back, you pathetic weaklings. This is far from over," Novo's disembodied voice vowed, before Jack hurled a knife at the place where the voice had come from, to no avail. Novo was gone, fleeing into the darkness unseen and unchallenged.
