“Pride had left me more than once throughout this lifetime,” the Archmage forces a laugh, but only the humorless sound of his gasps and wheezing made its way out of his lips.

His eyes shown hatred as it drank in the image of the Guardian before him, and in his mind, he already has his severed head in his grasp. 

“And it shall leave you one last time, Archmage, do you wish to follow it into the afterlife?” the Guardian asks, lifting his spear once more.

"Oh, I already have a room prepared downstairs, though the bed isn't exactly mine to lay in."
