My Beginning After the End

The Loss of a Lance

Lance Bairon

"That's meaningless." I told him, knowing that I could dodge it with ease.

The Lance didn't care, he pulled his arm back, and threw it again, this time, lava dripped from the ceiling, and started to burn through my barrier and armor. I dodged the sword, dodged the spikes that grew at me, and brushed the lava off of me. It hurt a little, and I could see I had a burn mark on my arm, but I was fine.

All around us, lava started to drip, was he planning on bringing lava down on both of us? He couldn't want to kill me that badly.

"Boom!" A noise like thunder went off, as my body started to emit even more energy, I felt the power grow in me even more.

I appeared before the Lance in a second, swung my spear, and watched as his sword was shattered to pieces as he tried to block my attack. I kept on going, swinging at his head, throat, chest, and ribs, trying to land a decisive blow.

A sword grew in his hands, and our blades crashed again. "He should have sent Varay, you aren't strong enough to defeat me." Olfred spat in my face, making the anger boil up inside me even more.

"We'll see about that." Electricity jumped off of me, and onto the other Lance. I ignored the pain of the dripping lava, and pushed his sword to the side, then sent an elbow into his face, causing him to stumble backwards.

I kept on the attack, swinging my spear at his chest and cutting away at the armor that was there, then spun and brought the spear back to him. His sword shot up in a defensive position, and our blades connected once again.

I stared down at the dwarve, anger written on my face. "Why send Varay, it would be a boring fight for her?" I kicked Olfred in the gut, he stumbled backwards again, and I swung my spear at his face, managing to cut it slightly like he did to me.

Our wounds weren't bad, but they were starting to add up. "You think too highly of yourself, Bairon." Olfred swung his sword, I dodged it, feinted to the right, and then brought my spear down on his shoulder where his armor was. The two clashed, and I created another large indent in his armor.

Ignoring the damage I caused, Olfred sent his sword into my gut, but I managed to block it before it entered into me. I stuck my spear into the ground, coalesced my fist full of energy, spun using my spear to guide my momentum, and brought my fist right into the face of Olfred, sending him into the nearby wall.

I picked my spear back up and swung it at the Lances head.

His instincts must have kicked in, because he fell to the ground randomly as my spear flew past his head. He shifted his sword so it was aimed at my chest again, but before he could do anything, I brought a fist down on his face again.

His body sank into the floor, and the only reason I didn't continue my attack was because the golems behind me swung their swords at my back. I quickly spun around and destroyed each one, as I turned back to Olfred, he managed to get back to his feet, and move himself away from me.

I shot myself at him, not letting him catch his breath, my spear collided with the floor as I swung over my head at him, and he dodged it. Olfred went to slide his sword into my ribs, but I kicked it to the side, reached out and grabbed the dwarve and threw him into the wall.

He stepped out of the small indent he left, and I kept at him, we both swung and dodged each other's attacks. His sword went right past my face, and I swung my spear at him again. Olfred must have tripped on something, because he started to fall backwards, it didn't matter to me, I found my opening.

I connected with the Lance, and my spear punctured through his armor, and I kept on driving it in, aiming it at his core. I looked him dead in the eyes as I did too, making sure he knew this was personal, we started to move through the air as I picked him up off the ground with my spear.
