Markus's POV:
As the wind blew by ruffling the leaves and causing some of them to fall, the world grew restless as the two monster stared each other down (or at least one of them was, the other one was actually just staring into space).
All eyes were on them as the everyone knew that the battle will be decided in the very next instance that one of them decides to attack. No matter what happens for one to live the other one was going to die, there is no third option here, it's either Markus or the horned aggressor.
Even though the atmosphere was tense, Markus's heartbeat didn't change, his breathing remained normal and nothing about the current situation really invoked any anxiety within him.
