Stryke heard the whisper following the sound of something clicking on the ground. A sharp blow to the back of his head resulted in his vision swimming with countless black dots. While he had been afraid, unconsciousness stole him away.

i..am sssorry.. i failed you.

The feeling of sinking followed as he cried out in discomfort. His body crumpled to the ground. Whimpering he went limp as everything faded to black...leaving him to be dead weight and unable to function for the time being.

Into the night they went. Stryke had nothing left in him for the moment, leaving him a victim to whatever they had in mind.
