Eurylochus charges.

"Eurylochus stop this." I say.

"Never! I trusted you! We all did! And how you repay us!" He yells.

I still feel the sword calling to me. I can still hear it inside my head. 

"Stop fighting me!" Eurylochus yells.

"I'm not fighting you. The sword is." I say.

"Is this one of your tall tales again?" He asks.

"Nothing. Look I've already paid for my sins." I say.

"Not enough." He charges.

I dodge. I kick him back.

"Do you even know what happened to me when I got home?" I ask.

"No, but I don't care." He charges.

I jump over him.

"That sword made me kill them." I say.

"Likely excuse." He charges again. 

He takes out another knife that slices my cheek. I grab him and push him back.

"When I got home, she wasn't waiting for me." I say.

Eurylochus stops.

"She was with another man." I say.

"Ouch. Too think you did all that messed up heck." He charges.

I slide under him. He grabs my leg. He throws me into sharp rocks. I wince. Blood drips from my shirt. Damn. He charges. I don't want to fight, but I will kill him if I must. I have to. I made a mistake like this before. Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves. 

"It doesn't have to be like this." I say.

"It does." He says.

"Fine then. I warned you." I pull my sword.

Anubis and Set climb over the rock.

"Are you getting your pets to do your dirty work?" He says.

"No." I take my glove off.

Eurylochus drops his sword.

"Let's end this Neo." He says.
