A Leap of fate
My entry for the Summer Joust,
the Heroic Duel category.
Archduke Henrik of the blue Falcon faction had dedicated his life in loyal service to the former king. However, when the newly crowned red Falcon king Petrus dismissed him from his post, rage consumed his heart. Fuelled by a sense of betrayal, Archduke Henrik leapt from a rooftop, determined to challenge the king to a fight.
As he descended, King Petrus stood in shock, startled by the archduke's audacious act. But in that instant, something shifted within him. He recognized the pain in Henrik's eyes, the years of unwavering loyalty now shattered.
Unsheathing his sword, Archduke Henrik challenged the king to a duel, their clash symbolizing the fracture that had befallen the kingdom. With each clash of steel, their unresolved grievances manifested.
