TORTALL FANFICTION SMACKDOWN
Round Two Fight A - Winner Faleron lights the last of the candles on the windowsill before turning to admire the effect. The flickering light dances upon the rose petals he has strewn across the bed sheets, making the small room look more inviting and romantic. He knows Kel doesn’t often act girly, but he has learnt over the years that she enjoys such things. The door opens, and Faleron moves to stand next to the bed. “Kel, is that you?” A deep male voice calls from the door, and Faleron grimaces as Lord Raoul’s head peeks through the doorway. The Giantkiller spots Faleron and frowns. “Oh, it’s you,” he says, annoyance ringing clearly in his voice. Faleron looks at him coolly. “You should leave now. Kel will be here soon, and as you can see, we have plans.” He gestures at the room around him. “Keladry is mine,” Raoul hisses, steel singing as he draws his sword. “She’ll never be yours.” The younger knight grabbs Keladry’s glaive from the wall behind him. “She already is mine.” He syas smugly as he strikes, wielding the glaive as he would a staff. Raoul blocks it easily, waiting for the right moment to attack. They stand there waiting, the sparrows watching on curiously as they both wait for the other to pounce. Finally Raoul strikes, his sword missing Faleron as the younger boy ducks and swings the glaive at the Giantkiller’s leg. Raoul hisses in pain as the blade meets flesh, pulling away as he keeps his sword low. Faleron attacks again, but this time Raoul blocks the strike and sweeps Faleron’s feet from under him. As he falls to the ground, Raoul neatly beheads the young knight. Watching Faleron’s head roll about the floor, Raoul murmurs, “Looks like I won this round, Kings Reach.” FINAL TALLY Raoul of Goldenlake: 90 Faleron of King's Reach: 82 Total: 172
VICTOR: Raoul of Goldenlake
Raoul will now advance to the semi-finals!!
A big thank you to EVERYONE who participated.

Oh, this one was so close! Congrats to Team Raoul for the late surge, and a gigantic "wow!" to Team Faleron for putting up an amazing fight!
(and OMG - beheading FTW! Nothing is better than severed heads!)

Er, just to clarify: I don't think the beheading is awesome, I think the start of the fic -- Faleron and the rose petals -- is awesome.

I admit, I'm a savage who likes a good fictional beheading.

Nothing wrong with that, Lisa. And thanks guys! I figured Kel needed to learn how to behead people somewhere. There lots of awesome fic on both sides, well fought everyone!

Congratulations to everyone who participated this Round!
I was sure Faleron was going to win when I came back online and there was less than 2 hours until closing and Raoul was down about 20 fic's!
Well down to the strong attack by Team Faleron! And well done to Team Raoul's last minute catch up fic-fest!

Wow! Congrats, Team Raoul! We really pulled through in the end! Team Faleron was AMAZING - as were all the fics from that side! - and I would NOT have been sorry to see him advance either! Love the fic too. My favourite line is about the head rolling about on the floor. Great imagery, hee hee.
