Part 1 (Cradle and Sands)

~The weather is hot, the sand is almost like a road to hell, but I'm not here; I'm in the cradle rocked by my mother, she sings a beautiful lullaby with her delicate voice. All of a sudden, the door breaks and my mother's voice is cut off. When I was a baby, blood splashes on me the first time I open my eyes. But I, I'm not crying~

A voice shouted outside, "Ladies and gentlemen, lords and ladies, we are here today for the fierce battle of Knight Senza and our ever-present champion Knightslayer Wornhorn!" The people waited for the gates to open with cries of excitement. But the king had not yet arrived, so they could not open the gates, it was waited for a while for the king to arrive.

Not long after, King Elegant sat on his glorious throne and said, "I greet you, my good people, and I wish the best to win in this duel that will be held in my presence today." Immediately after the king's speech, the king's right-hand man, Sir Alejandro appeared beside him and stood by. The gates opened, the sun was directly overhead and right A step was taken from the darkness of the door on the side, first a sword came, then another step was taken. The Knightslayer's armor and helmet appeared. From the darkness of the left door, first a hand came out, probing the sun a bit, and then a huge sword came out and with it Knight Senza appeared. From the right side. As the knightslayer was advancing, chain noises began to be heard. He appeared himself without one arm up to his shoulder, instead he had a metal cover and a chain on the end. These chains continued to his door.After the knightslayer had passed a quarter of the arena, at the end of the chain was a half-meter piece of all-sharp iron.

With the cries of the people and the king's command, the fight began. The two warriors were cautious. This wasn't their first duel, they first weighed each other a little. Senza struck a sword blow, Wornhorn easily parried it. Wornhorn thought quickly and rushed towards Senza before the sword can even reached him, and deflected the attack with the strong part of his sword. Senza pushed Wornhorn away and the two warriors separated again, the sand slowly turning into mist. Wornhorn tried to attack but Senza pulled out the an dagger and parried it.And prepared to strike a blow with his huge sword. Thinking that this would happen, Wornhorn shrugged the piece of iron chained and started his attack already.It was a Senza who was ready to parry his flour sword with his dagger, and a piece of iron that came towards him with an unstoppable force. Senza changed it to defend his blow at the last moment. As a result of the iron piece hitting Senza, Senza was thrown back for one meter.King was holding his breath watching the duel, Sir Alejandro's expression is not very clear from his helmet, but it cannot be said that he was affected by his body movements.

Part 2 (Owners and Mortals)

Senza, who comes to his senses after the shock, runs against Wornhorn by rubbing his sword on the sand. Wornhorn just waits for Senza to come where he is. When he gets close enough, he kicks the sand on the ground. The sand combined with the sand dragged by Senza makes both of the warriors weapons invisible. only blood remains. The blood spilled on the ground was Wornhorns, Senza passed by Wornhorn with his sword. But Wornhorn is not naive enough to make such a ridiculous move. As Senza passes by Wornhorn, he comes face to face with the piece of iron approaching him. Senzaya lying on the ground,He sees the approaching Wornhorn holding his wound.Wornhorn sees Sensa's dying body, his face covered in blood with his crushed helmet. Wornhorn looked at Senza, then at the king, and the king nodded at him.Wornhorn silently puts his sword around Senza's neck, quietly saying "Fall asleep, sleep deeply so that no one can wake you." The people exclaimed, "Knightslayer! Knightslayer! Knightslayer!" as he returns to that dark, lonely, cold cell where he belongs. Until his next match.

He sits in his cell and thinks ~Today another knight has been wiped out from this realm...maybe that's what I'm here for, The Knightslayer who has never cried in his life~then he blows out his candle and lies on his bed of stones.
