Title: Prayer
Rating: PG
Length: 128 words
Competitor: Alanna
Round/Fight: 3/A
Summary: She prays for the one she loves.
-----
A huge Scanran bore down on her, flashing white teeth in a savage smile as he swung his war-hammer. He was too slow, and Alanna too short, and she ducked the blow and shoved her blade deep in his gut. He went down, his cold blue eyes surprised. She was already wheeling to meet the next attacker, this one nimbler than the first.
She spent the better part of an afternoon in this condition, bloody and sweaty and reeking of battle. She found as she got older, she lost more and more taste for this sort of thing.
As another horde burst through the brush, screaming war-cries, Alanna spared a moment for a prayer. Goddess, Mother, she thought fiercely, watch out for Kel, wherever she is.

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
