"Goddes of death looms above us my lady" said the fallen knight to the lady rushing to his side, His hair dark and his face bore a slight smile to it.
There seem to be a hole where his heart should be and bones where his left arm is supposed to be.
Many knights, squires and soldiers looked on as the once herculean man seemed to fade away slowly.
Their eyes full of pity and regret. For it would seem the hope of the Empire was weathering away with him.
"Lord, you remember, when I had saved your life" said the light golden haired lady besides him.
"I do my lady." Said the man, his voice now barely a whisper.
"I want you not to die on me." She requested.
"O my lady, that won't be possible. Goddess of death already has a claim on me." The man replied. He tried to chuckle but his condition made him cough blood only.
"Well then, don't let her claim you in your entirety my Lord. For when I come, I will have a stick in my hand." She laughed slightly.
"That promise I will fullfill my lady. Now the time for departure has come. Kindly remarry for I shall look on from beyond the happy life you develop." He said with a slight sorrow in his voice.
"My Lord surely you just. No man is daring enough to remarry with your wife. For all know death don't stop men like you. You might come back now that would be interesting wouldn't it" she said as they both shared a laugh.
And the body of the man lay limp now, death had claimed him.
A single tear escaped the ladies eye.
Then a resolute look passed her face. You shall avenge his lord.
Suddenly the sorrowful soldiers looked at her a little surprised.
She replied "WHO SHALL AVENGE HIS LORD WITH ME".
They suddenly replied in unison, "I WILL"
"WHO SHALL AVENGE HIS LORD WITH ME" She shouted even louder this time.
"I WILL" they all spoke in unison.
So, they marched back to north where three different men had already laid their claim as the ruler of the north.
An army of men stood outside the capital.
The claiments came out not putting up a fight.
"We wish to speak to her ladyship." The men said to the kinght captains of the army.
They were taken to her.
"We surrounder my lady, this contract states that we shall have no clame over north ever again. In exchange we request you not take away our lives.
They said bowing. The lady unmoved said,
"For one time and one time only, today the north shall belong to the victor of a duel."
She said.
"Myladyship, we don't possess knights like yours. So, it is not a fair fight." Said one man.
"Don't fret claiment. For I fight my own battles." She replied to the accusation.
"As you wish my lady, they said as they were taken out of the camp." The said sorrowful on the outside but mocking inside.
Soon, the battlefield was set, lady approached the ring. From the side of her ladyship she will be fighting herself and from the said of the claiments, The torturer, the giant and the red eye shall fight.
"It was only fair that they got three representatives since they were three claiments." They exclamed.
"Good, you have thought this through." Said the lady. Then she closed her eyes andher hair turned to gold. Her aura had activated.
"Now then let's begin". The tree men began their attack.
The giant rushed at her,
The torturer surrounded the battle ground with iron threads to trap her.
The loaded his arrow.
Then it happen in just a second and a half,
Three heads dropped to the ground.
All looked in aww, those who blinked just saw the heads falling.
And so, the lady with golden hair walked out of the ring her hair turned into ginger slowly.
