Scene 3 - Luna Vs. Death Knight

The Death Knights green eyes flared with anger sending its massive fist straight down towards Luna's face, down her neck she could feel her hair stand on end filling her with excitement. Using her shield to block his fist the impact was so immense that it sent her in a half kneeling position, but she didn’t take the blow fully on and used the force to roll backward.

Standing up again Luna rushed forward turning her spear in her hand to get extra reach aiming for its head. But the Death knight countered her in kind smashing his fist downwards on the spears head he hacked with his greatsword at Luna’s neck which she promptly crouched underneath the blade feeling the wind pressure pass over her head.

Sol at this time struck from behind aiming at the back of the skull only for the skull head to turn around and catch his blade with its teeth! Letting go of his sword Sol smashed with his shield downwards on its head but the Death knight fist hit the shield head on and pushed him back a few meters.

This action freed up Luna’s spear to which she stabbed upwards from down low impaling the awkward standing Death Knight through the gut breaking into his bone armor and lifting him into the sky above her head before slamming him into the ground.

She thought that would be the end of the Death Knight but the crafty skeleton had used his hand to roll dislodging her spear in the process. Luna was about to keep up the momentum but an anchor arrow flew across her eyesight mere inches away from her head.

Doing a quick look around she noticed that the skeletons were marching their position, with that info in mind Luna shouted at her brother who had retrieved his sword, “Brother take care the minions I’ll kill this big guy!”

Sol didn’t bother to argue and started to wreak havoc on the normal skeletons, “Alright! But don’t get killed sis this one’s pretty crafty!”

With Sol watching her back Luna could focus on the battle on hand with the Death Knight who currently had regained its balance wielding its greatsword with both hands. Having the blade rest on its shoulder inclining it’s left foot forward Luna guessed the Death Knight was setting up for a charging slash.

If so she would counter it!

Feeling confident Luna readied herself as the Death Knight charged at her, its eyes flaring green flames jumping out of its eye sockets. It moved fast slashing towards Luna’s right shoulder intending to split her in half with one move!

But how could Luna allow such a thing? Despite its fast movement she waited until the Death Knight to swing his blade before dodging it’s slash by a hair's breadth away before using her spear to slice off the Death Knights leg.

With the Death Knight’s leg now gone Luna could finish it off at ease that it made her chuckle at how easy it was going to be. Walking up to the pitiful Knight Luna raised her spear in her hand and stabbed at one of its eye sockets, “Die!”

Hearing his sister shout with such bloodlust Sol turned to her to see how she was going to kill it before he saw a faint glint in the Death Knights mouth as it let it’s jaw loose. His eyes widened with shock seeing that the Death Knight had a dagger in its mouth!

“Luna dodge its mouth!”

Hearing her brother yell so frantically about the Death Knights Mouth Luna tried to move out of its sight, but the blade had already shot out of its mouth aiming at her head!

“LUNA!”

Blood splattered from Luna’s face as a long red lined formed from cheek to cheek across her nose. By sheer willpower, Luna had managed to move her head out of the way from being pierced by the dagger, yet the blade had still wounded her face.

Shock filled her body at how close she was to death, and in a moment furry overtook her not caring about the blood flowing from her face Luna threw away her shield and pounced on the Death Knight.

She cut off its another leg and then its arms for good measure before mounting the Death Knights body and in a rage ripped the head off the bone armor with brute force before smashing the skull into its ribcage.

Over and over again until over fragments remained of both the skill and the bone armor, Sol left her to her anger and took out the skeletons together with the other contestant. The skeletons around them who lost their leader had once again turned into mindless skeletons that randomly attacked were easy to take care of.

The other sides had held their ground and despite some injuries, everyone had made it through. Sol and the contestant kept some distance between them and Luna seeing that she was still fuming as steam kept coming out of her mouth.

When they got inside the fortress Luna started to calm down letting go of her spirit procession and sat in a corner mulling over how she was sneak attacked. The blood was still running down her face so Sol took out a tier one potion from his bag and gave it to, “Here drink this and that wound will be gone.”

Luna snorted at her brother and pushed the bottle away, “I refuse! I’m keeping this wound!”

“Why?”

“To remind me from now on to not play with my opponent!”

“That’s stupid!”

“So what little brother?”

“Why you!”

“Is there a problem here?”, Turning their heads to see who was talking the twins saw Grorc walking over to them with curiosity.

Sol shook his head, “It’s nothing its just that my sister doesn't wanna get rid of her wound, but she’s losing blood and it wouldn’t be healthy for her.”

Stroking his chin Grorc thought of something and started searching through his cube until he pulled out a small container, “Then use this, it’s a fast acting gel that my village made to heal wounds the only drawback is that it’ll leave a scar permanently. Even if you use a healing potion the scar won’t change in the slightest.”

Eyes sparkling blue Luna snatched the gel container from his hand and smiled, “Thanks, Grorc! I'll use it now!”
