"The Black Knight shall be fighting against Sir Markos. May the fight, begin!"
Her heart was in her throat as she watched the sparring grounds intently. Despite the loud noises of the crowd, Snowflake was relatively quiet. It almost seemed as if even the horse was watching the battle intently.
Both knights had their weapons raised. Before Athena even had a moment to wonder how the fight was going to go, it came to an end.
A loud clang rang throughout the sparring grounds. Sir Markos's sword was strewn on the ground next to him.
Athena's jaw dropped. The fight ended in less than ten seconds. As soon as the announcer finished his announcement, the Black Knight lunged forward.
He didn't even have to unsheathe his sword. Sir Markos was a well-established knight. His fighting skills were known.
It should not have been that easy for him to fall!
