I noticed that it was these two knights who were just going at each other super fast, creating the facade of an army from afar. They both looked like graceful prismatic shadows fighting in the brilliant opaque street.. Their presence emerging from the fields dust like horrifying apparitions as they fought. They moved towards each other in swift striking motions, their blades meeting for a split second, then crossing fast, then back in again. Over and over, they continued fighting like this, their warm blood now splattered against their busted up armor and dented weapons. From what i was seeing, it was clearly a fight to the death and someone was about to cruelly face it.

As the dust began to settle around them, I could clearly see an Azure Guild Knight holding a fiery double-edged spear in his hands. His armor thick and scaly, like a dragons; his long wing-like cloak torn to shreds behind him. He was breathing like a mad man, his posture arched. His opponent, who I've never seen before till now, frenziedly rose out from above the rooftop.. B-But.. he was on the field a second ago, I thought..

An enormous black and silver claymore flickered maliciously in his hands from the moonlight. His armor was pitch black, only certain parts were painted a ghastly white. The silhouette of a skull could be seen on occasion when he backed up into the shadows; making this fight twice as fucking creepy.

They both fought menacingly on impact, their strikes heavy. I heard a few bones crunch from some pretty good looking blows, but neither one of them was fazed by them at all.. Their eyes were wide and deranged, their pupils darting madly at one another on the battlefield. They looked like they had an immense desire for bloodlust written all over them, their attacks getting even more savage with every violent swing.

The Dragon Knight swung his spear rapidly at the Skeleton Knight then, the tips scraping against his armor savagely with each fiery slash. He continued and lunged at him fast from the shadows, the heated blades spinning madly in his hands. The Skeleton Knight then jumped out of the way, dodging his deciphering moves and went in low from the side, his claymores sharp blade glistening. The Dragon Knight realized his error then and spun around to meet his opponent again head on. The two blades ferociously collided with one another, creating vibrant sparks that fell to the ground like falling stars and a small boom that rustled the grass around them.. I covered my mouth in awe.. The Knights were blocking and parrying each other's brutal blows, the impacts costively fracturing their bulky armor and bodies. The Dragon Knight stepped back as the Skeleton Knight did too, their movements in precise sync. They were both rapidly breathing now, their bodies staggering slightly, as they held onto their weapons for support. Their blood was slowly starting to form in small pools around them on the grass, the green tips now scarlet. Just then, a deep voice broke the silence between them, startling me.

"Who the fuck are you and what do you want?!", yelled the Dragon Knight, his tone firm and demanding.

The Skeleton Knight jammed his sword into the ground and crossed his arms. He stared at him bitterly from across the field and finally spoke, his voice deep and gravely.

"Hmph, foolish human. You know what I seek and who I am, why must you ask such preposterous questions if you already knew the answer."

The Dragon Knight seemed to be perplexed by his strange response. His mind was racing, lost in his thoughts, when he spoke again.

"You're consuming my valuable time, fool. Tell me where he is now and I'll be on my way.", the Skeleton Knight said, his tone completely calm.

"Like I told you before, buddy. I have NOOO clue as to who or what it is you're looking for or who you are for that matter. Now, if you could just leave Relana peacefully, it'd be gre-", the Dragon Knight was then cut off by a sudden attack from the Skeleton Knight, his sword thrusting forward into his scaly armor, cracking it; knocking the wind out of his lungs in the process.
