I walk forward. I see his face. I watch the blood dripping from his sword. His black eyes show no mercy only hate. " Why don't you understand? Why don't you join me?" I reach for my throwing knives. I'm no match for his superior strength and size. " I thought the rebellion was not built on violence but peace hmmm?" I hate his arrogance. He points to my rapier. "Let us duel and settle it like real men."
"Why Darrius? Why duel? Why not just kill me?"
"I'm not a man of unfair odds Jarceren." I reach for my rapier my eyes still locked on Darrius. He throws a sharp jab to my head as I'm getting up. Luckily I already have my gaurd up and I block it. I retaliate with a jab and a spinning back strike. It draws blood. I have enraged the beast. He charges at me sword raised high above his head I raise my rapier to block his heavy blade. My rapier snaps. I have no hope. I am about to leave this world. I stand tall and accept my fate.
