tale of winter's fire: A tail unknown

Timothy felt his arms getting heavy with his fingers getting stiffed. Timothy looked at Grey's blade. Stained with his blood from the left side edge. "You are brave or foolish." Grey told him. He twirled him blade around his hand. Timothy glared at him. "Woow you are tough." Grey noted. Timothy spitted out blood from his mouth. "You haven't seen nothing yet." He smirked wiping blood from his lip and squinted determined to fight more. "You must be stupid to keep going. You reckless old man." He cleaned his blade with his glove. "Unlike you I have someone who I want to protect and keep safe." Timothy glared. Grey let out a menacing laugh. "We will find her." Timothy narrowed his gaze and gripped his hands around the leather of the sword. He glided on his feet and slammed his blade against Grey's. Their blades gritted sounding like razors. Grey growled and looked at him. "You are holding up quite well." He remarked. Timothy glared at him as grey punched him across the jaw. Timothy used his blade and cut Grey across his cheek. "You dirty urchin." Timothy gave him a cocky smug grin trying to keep himself from falling.  "You sir are rather advanced for your age."  Grey touched the cut as it printed in his fingers. Timothy landed on one knee and laughed.

"Hey you got me cornered." I looked at Summer. I grabbed a cup of tea and smiled and took a sip. Summer chuckled and laughed and moved her rook to my knight. "Don't you dare take him out." I pleaded. I saw her hand still on her rook with devilish smile stretched across her face. "I can so easily win though." She giggled. "Don't do it Summer." I chuckled and looked at her ready to move my queen to protect my king. I looked at all the chess pieces and tried to think of my next move. "Woe bold move." She laughes and looked at me as she requested a deal with me if she wins.  I looked at the board and stood up. "You really think you can win like that Hunter?" Summer asked.  I nodded and looked at her. "Your move." I glanced. Summer smiled looked at the board and moved her king forward to the center. I raised my eyebrow and looked at her pieces. I froze and scratched my hair. "Are you stuck on something?" Summer remarked with a little smile. I glanced at her flustered as it broke my concentration. I felt my face slightly flare up but moved my knight and took out her right bishop. "Risky move there Hunter." Summer snickered. I looked at her and chuckled. "You have no idea." I smiled. "I am strategizing a way to win even with lesser amount of pieces." I looked at her king still in middle of the board.

Lily felt her back against the pillar. "Madam Victoria we have her." The captain called out. Victoria smirked and shot the captain in the collar. "Good job sir your payment has been full filed. Victoria pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and struck it into the captain shoulder. Victoria smiled demonically as she drove the blade into his shoulder tearing the skin and fabric of his uniform. Victoria smiled and looked at her. Lily looked at the captain and watched as he wailed in pain. Lily looked at the captain as he clinched his shoulder. Lily covered her mouth and stood there her feet felt heavy as if they were rooted inside of  tree. Victoria cut the rope that was binding her. Victoria walked to barrel and picked up a sword and slid it to her. "I need a challenge, hope you can use it." She smirked. Lily looked at her and carefully. Victoria rushed her. Her blade nearly cut her arm. Lily quickly stabbed her leg and leaned back and stood up looking at Victoria. Victoria smiled and darted her blade at Lily heart sending her scrambling for separation. Lily deflected Victoria's swing poorly and leaped back like a dancer. "Elegant dancer." Victoria glared at her. Lily clashed her blade and against her's. Victoria slammed her blade. Their blades gritted against one another. Victoria grinned and moved the end of her sword towards Lily's neck. Lily squatted down and tore Victoria coat jacket and kicked her back.  "Oh no you don't!" Victoria warned out. Lily looked at the circle  surrounding her and Victoria cheering and placing bets on who'd win. Lily glared at her and saw blood slithered down her lip and staining her legging. Victoria took one the crew members sword. Lily narrowed her eyes and examined the blade and put her sword close to her left and taunted her to come at her. "What are you going to do with two if you can't beat me with one sword." Lily taunted. Lily twirled herself away and raised her hand and aimed for hee from above. Victoria cut her arm and punched her across the face. Lily staggered into the crowd.
