Swoosh

An arrow went

Whoosh

The Maniac dodged

He threw his Glaive at the Paladin

Who dodged it just as easily

They went back and forth 

"Father stop this insanity now"

The Paladin pleaded

She could no more

She could no more fight her own blood

Her own father

But she had to

She had to fight him

For the sake of the Kingdom

For the sake of the people

For the sake of light

She fought

Blow after blow

She delivered

Her knuckles now dripping

Dripping from blood that has left her father's body

Blow after blow 

She received

She glanced at the ground

Now stained red by her blood

Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest

She remembered

She remembered her mother

She remembered the little girl she had seen on the street: dead

She let fury take over

Her father was a killer

A cold blooded killer

If let on loose, he would destroy

He would destroy everything in his way

He would destroy everything for that gave him peace

NO

She would not let such a thing happen

She turned around just in time

As her father was about to stab her

She kicked him in the gut

And as soon as his grip on the dagger loosened

She snatched it 

And stabbed him 

Right in the heart

Oh how ironic!

To stab a heartless man in the heart

But here she did it

She stabbed her father in the heart

She committed patricide

She was a killer too

"Father" 
She whispered
