Dragonbait


How Dragonbait killed and died

There was minutes left until the start. Was I nervous? Maybe. Was I ready? I thought I was. I was Knightmare the Unvanquished, I was so close to glory I could taste it. Seconds left now, There, we've started. Right straight to the Inn I thought... No, someone beat me to it. Quick find a weapon a little voice said... Where? Oh no, too late, I was attacked. He's using the Falchion, what can I use? I looked around desparately. Aha I thought as I borrowed the Halberd from my assailant, that'll do nicely. I suddenly felt confident using the better weapon as I noticed my opponent carrying too much for combat. A swift lunge and he was no more. It was a swift kill even if it wasn't the first of the war but the 2nd.

I noticed my hands were shaking as another foe appeared before me. Blood was already flowing from my wounds as I fled hopefully to safety.

Atlas, he followed me like a shadow until, finally, he caught up with me, the grim reaper laughing from his eyes as he dealt me the death blow. Gone was the glory I thought was mine.
