Two references in here, can you name them? ^-^

I instantly dropped down on one knee, bowing my head down to the King of Illusio. It only seemed appropriate but it made him snort, I lifted my head. The mysterious raven was staring down at me in pure amusement. What the hell am I supposed to do?! I cleared my throat as if it cleared the atmosphere of awkwardness as I stood up. "Poor unfortunate soul. I almost pity you." The King intoned, I stayed silent.

"Well," he continued, "I've got kingly business to take care of, so, let's make this quick, shall we?" Levi rolled his head in a small circle, his neck cracked and popped. "Strategy or battle?" He asked, I simply stared at him in shock, he sighed. "How about a simple battle to the death?" My eyes widened, his face was unreadable but his eyes showed amusement.

King Levi lifted up his hand and snapped. Immediately, our surroundings were changed but our positions stayed the same. I surveyed the area, it was a plain green field with nothing as far as the eye could see. "No where to run, no where to hide." Levi said in a sing-song tone, I found it extremely creepy.

Why am I scared? I can easily kick his ass. I tapped my wrist twice, an option menu appearing in front of me, Levi did the same. I scrolled to where it said 'weapons' and, after a few seconds of thought, I chose the dual wield long swords. I was surprised to see that we made the same selections.

Levi spun the swords around in his hands, holding them very wrong. He held it to where the blade pointed back towards his body, his hands held the base securely. "Make your move, White Knight." The raven commanded suddenly, making me jump.

"Why should I?" I asked and he sighed.

"The White Knight always starts." He replied cooly with a shrug of the shoulders, only now did I notice the way he furrows his brows, making him look pained or annoyed.

"Why should the White Knight start? If the Black Knight went first, it wouldn't be much different." I said, Levi sighed heavily and I took his relaxation to my advantage. I lunged forward, the edge of the steel blade was mere centimeters from his heart before he moved to the side, completely avoiding the blade.

"You'll have to try harder than that, brat." Levi spat swirling his sword around in his hand and swinging it towards me. I dropped to the floor and he quickly adjusted it in his hands before sending the tip down towards the back of my head. I rolled away, scurrying to my feet and getting into position. "Not bad."

"Make one wrong move and you'll regret it." Levi said in a voice of confidence, I want to rip his throat out.

"I guess I'll start with making the right choice then, huh?" I replied, I threw a sword to the side, the extra weight was weighing me down. Levi did the same, maybe he has a sense of justice? Maybe he needs to have a fair fight. I sprinted to the right, curving my path and ending up behind Levi.

Levi turned around just as I was going to impale him, his sword cutting my wrist deep and disarming me. I winced, clenching my jaw tightly to hold back a pained cry. I glanced at my wrist and screamed. His sword had completely cut through the bone, my hand laid on the floor, disconnected from my body. The pain was unbearable, I wailed.

"Too easy." Levi muttered in disappointment, I felt the cold steel against the skin on my neck, I was scared. I stared up at him, giving him a look of pure anger. "There is nothing more sexy than that face, dear Eren." I was filled with more rage and my face definitely showed it. It hurts, it hurts so much. "I would hate to have to kill you."

Levi retracted his sword before spinning it around and tossing it off to the side. He instantly wrapped his fingers around my windpipe, lifting me up off the ground. I kicked desperately, using my only remaining hand to scratch at his pale skin. I began to black out and I fought harder, he dropped me, I fell to my knees. I don't believe I fought him off, only that he was playing with me.

I rubbed my neck as I coughed, the tears fell against my will, I felt weak. Levi gave me a few seconds to catch my breath before he sent his shin into my stomach. "You look so much better on your knees." He whispered as he squatted next to me, grasping my hair and pulling my head back, I grunted. "Do you give up, Eren? Or are you going to fight with one hand?"

I locked my eyes with his, glare against glare, and growled angrily. "I'll fucking kill you." I spat, Levi chuckled as he pulled me back by my hair and threw me forward. I put both my hands out in front of me, forgetting the fact I only have one, and the pain I felt was insane.

I screamed bloody-murder as my stump scraped against the floor, I wanted to die. I started to feel weak from the blood loss, I could no longer hold my self up, I fell onto my stomach. Levi walked into view, wedging his foot between my hip and the floor before rolling me onto my back. "Let's make a deal."

What will I regret the least?

Good? Maybe? It's really difficult to write a story when you didn't come up with it. I'm in fear of disappointing the original creaters. Well, it's my story now so I can do what I want.

Criticism is needed. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed.
