Clash of Legends

The Sea Beast was one of the most revered and respected knights in the kingdom. He had fought in countless battles at Sea against Pirates and fleets of the Western Cities. For years, he commanded the Grey Channel and all feared to look upon his ship, the Black Serpent.

 

When Haytham charged at this great warrior, he knew that defeating him would be no easy task. The Sea Beast was a man of 47 years of age, but what he lacked in youth, he made up for in experience and toughness. His thick oak shield and the snake tattoo on his face were the symbols of his ancient house, and he bore them with such fervour, that it made even the young rebel second guess his choice.

 

Sir Haytham was faster, and his sword was stronger steel. Sir Belard had just battled the four knights who now fled on boats and hadn't suffered a scratch, but Haytham could tell that the Beast was heavy of breath. When they first clashed, Belard took control. His footwork and balance was impeccable, having done most of his fighting at sea. Soon, Haytham began to weigh the risk of a retreat when his luck turned. Sir Belard took an arrow to the back, and though you wouldn't notice from his expression, as the minutes drew on, his sword began to look heavy in his hand. Belard's breath turned to wheezes, and he fell to one knee. The Sea Beast looked into Haytham's eyes and growled, "let it not be said that I was slain by a traitor, but kill me anyways boy."

 

Haytham drove his sword through the knight's chest, and turned to run.
