Everyone was in the hall, the bright lord sat in his throne, nephis in front of him.
She had just challenged him, and so, of course, he accepted.
In his arrogance, he never even imagined himself losing. And so the clash began, Gunlaug's now apparent echo and not memory, warped into axes their greater reach, putting Nephis into a corner, not giving her a chance to attack back.
Finally, Gunlaug extended too far, and Nephis lunged, stabbing her longsword straight at his chest, only for the blade to uselessly bounce off, merely leaving a scratch.
As the battle raged on, murmors spread fear, glee, anticipation, and hope that we're burning brighter than ever; everyone knew this battle decided everything.
Finally, Nephis was forced to use her aspect, a slight frown appearing on her face; her wounds were healed, and she and her sword were enveloped in the raging white flames.
And so she charged straight at Gunlaug her newly increased speed surprising him, and as he raised his axes for a defense he did not notice that it was a faint, as the blade was about to touch the axes, Nephis twisted her body, ducking down, she strained her body to the limit, changing the blade's trajectory.
She manifested more of her flames right before the impact, the blade's tip smashing against the helmet of the bright lord.
As the dust settled, everyone could see the point of impact. The part of the helmet was destroyed, leaving only bare skin, a nose, and a mouth visible. Teeth gnashed. Gunlaug roared and raised his axes, also affecting the echo's mental attack ability. As dozens fell to the ground, most were bleeding in the near vicinity of the attack.
Nephis only gritted her teeth, dodging the axes she placed her hand in front of the man, opening and blowing. Red dust particles immediately entered Gunlaug's mouth and nose. He soon started choking and coughing.
He slowly stood up from his kneeling position, and walked towards the throne, and as he sat upon it, he collapsed his lungs and heart failing him.
And with that, all hell broke loose.
Thanks for reading and support!
