TORTALL FANFICTION SMACKDOWN
Round One Fight G - Winner
Round One Fight G - Winner
It was barely dawn as Yukimi noh Daiomoru walked towards the practice courts. Her slippered feet made little sound as she moved through the halls. The door to the courts opened with a slight creak as she walked in with her glaive. Nobody else was here yet, except for a lone figure in the middle of the room.
"Lady Yukimi." The woman turned, her brown hair glittering in the pale light.
"Lady Knight," Yuki murmured politely. "How may I help you?"
Sabine smiled wickedly. "You're standing between me and my lady knight." She unsheathed her sword. "You need to get out of the way."
If Yuki was afraid, she didn't show it. "Keladry may choose whom she wishes as her love." Her dark eyes bore into Sabine's lighter ones.
"I am her only choice." Sabine struck quickly, barely giving Yuki time to raise her glaive.
Yuki blocked her and the duel began. They were well matched; both were highly skilled with their weapons. Sparks flew as steel clashed, and they circled each other during each attack, waiting for the other to give an opening.
Finally, Sabine was the one to falter, and Yuki took the opportunity to thrust the iron-shod butt of her glaive into Sabine's stomach. Sabine rolled to the ground as she doubled over, barely missing the blade of Yuki's glaive as she tumbled on the flagstones.
As Yuki moved back into position, Sabine kicked Yuki's feet from under her, knocking the Yamani down as she stood up. Yuki rolled onto her back, but Sabine was faster, thrusting her sword into Yuki's stomach before she could raise her glaive.
The Yamani looked at her through heavy-lidded eyes, labouring to breathe. "She'll never choose you."
"Don't be so sure," Sabine said with a wry grin. "Looks like I won this one, Yukimi."
