Kings and Heirs

-Chapter IV- -Duel-

Zell was a good man, before his father's murder. His father was a kind and brave knight in Erith. He was trying to help every citizen. Zell was proud of his father and he was want to be a good knight, a good person like him. One day, his father didn't come home. Zell was worried about him. He goes out and searched for his father in the city. He looked every street but he couldn't find him. He went home sadly. Then he saw blood on the door. He was scared. He looked through the window and he saw a bad thing that he does not want to see. His father was dead. His dead body was lying on the floor. After that, he heard a voice. His father wasn't alone. A door opened and two knights came from the backdoor. They were talking in panic. Zell was tried to listen to what are they talking about. One of the guards talked. "What should we do? We can't leave him like this." Other guard answered quickly. "Then we must burn him! We must burn this house! We can't leave any proof." Guard approved with his head. Zell was even more scared. He started to run towards the king's castle. They didn't take him in. This little kid tried to explain what he saw. But this was unduly. Because nobody listened to him. Nobody cared for him. That day, that little boy, promised to himself. He swore, he would take revenge. He fled from the city. Went a town. He found a sword master in there. This sword master was his new family. He learned how to use a sword for years. He became a master of a sword. He left that town too. And he was started to search warriors for his army. Decades later, he became something. Something that his father doesn't want. He never forgot his father's death day. His blue glowing eyes were faded. He captured the Erith. But this anger and power he gains changed him. He was no longer a man his father wants...

Zell was a tall guy. His shoulder-length black hair was covering his angry face. There was a scar just under his left eye, running towards the tip of his nose and ending on his upper lip. There was something different about him. Perhaps it's his attitude or perhaps it's simply his painful past.

Faelyn reached the castle. Finally, he could take revenge on him. When he killed him everything was gonna be over. All this pain, all this sadness. Zell saw Faelyn. He took his sword and talked. "Hello there! Are you came here for your father or your friend? Or are you just want your fortress back?" He continued with a mocking voice. "Oh, I'm sorry. This fortress is mine!" Faelyn took his sword too and then he towards his sword to Zell. He talked nervously. "I don't care about the city. You will pay for what you did!" Zell laughed at him. And he said: "I'm not a bad guy. I was just taking revenge, like you. But I'm bad, right? You, people of Erith, you will pay for what you did to me!" Faelyn didn't understand what he said. Suddenly Zell attacked him. He was too fast but Faelyn dodged his attack. Two swords was clashing on the air. They have started a duel. A duel between two powerful human, two vengeful person.

Zell swung his sword to the right and then to the left. Faelyn blocked this heavy attacks with his sword. Suddenly Zell drew a dagger and scratch the Faelyn's arm. Faelyn took one step backward and then he kicked Zell's leg. Zell fell down. Faelyn tried to hit Zell but he rolled and dodged. Zell stood up and run towards the Faelyn. It began to rain. On top of the castle, these two men were fighting to the death. Zell seemed stronger than Faelyn. His attack skills were too different from everyone. He was using the wind to make quick moves. Faelyn was weak against him. Zell shouted with a mocking voice. "Enough?" Faelyn got annoyed. Then he answered. "I'm not giving up yet!" Faelyn drew a circle on the ground with his right foot. He started to run.

At the same time, Vaermina was helping the citizens of Erith. Dregrion and Aurea were fighting shoulder by shoulder. King Illitran was commanding the archers and King Brag was tired. Elidyr was next to the Orian. Faelyn's army was winning.

Faelyn and Zell were still fighting. Nearly everyone was watching them. Faelyn fell and Zell blocked him from getting up. Faelyn seemed tired. He can't fight anymore. Zell sheathed his sword and started walking. Faelyn stood up and talked hardly. "I'm! I'm...not...giving up...yet!" Zell drew his sword again. This time he was gonna kill him. Faelyn swung his sword. Zell countered with a heavy attack. Faelyn's sword was broken. Then, Zell stabbed Faelyn from his heart. Faelyn fell down slowly. When Vaermia saw this, she shouted and ran to the castle. The Dark Lord was won again. He was unbeaten. Faelyn remembered a memory, before his death. It was Dregrion and he was giving 'Egladhrim' to Faelyn. Dregrion started talking.
