Leo snarls at the attacker. The attacker grins at him.

"Why are you so *loyal* to a *dead* king?" The attacker asks in a mocking tone.

Leo frowns at the attacker. "He is my king."

The attacker laughs. "But he's *dead*!"

Leo stands tall and looks down upon the attacker. "And he is the one you fight with for my loyalty."

Leo prepares his sword. The attacker eyes it as he chuckles nervously.

"You are losing to a ghost. A *shade.*" Leo mocks the attacker.

The attacker laughs in amusement. He stops suddenly.

The echo of a sword being sheeted rings in the air. A head rolls on the floor.

Leo sighs. "My king... Randolphus... I miss you..."

He looks at the beheaded corpse dirtying the ground.

"I miss you dearly. I wish you were here."

Steps echo in the empty chamber as the knight walks away.
