I lower my sword slightly and he lunges at me, swinging his orc blade quickly down at me. I dodge to the left and swing my blade around, slashing his side open. His black blood splashes the ground underneath him as he drops. He rolls and looks up at me, an astonished look on his face.
He winces as he stands. Quickly, he pulls a dagger and throws it at me. It pierces the armour around my side and my blood explodes out from the wound.
"You said you were an honourable fighter." I say, dropping to one knee. He stands and places the side of his blade against my neck.
"There is no honour in war." he says to me, pulling his blade back and preparing to strike. I quickly pull his dagger from my side and flick it upwards towards him. It rams into the bottom of his mouth and slams right through it. His black blood spurts and flows from the wound as he drops.
I smile and take in my victory for a few moments, before several more of the creatures run at me, yelling and holding their blades over their heads.
I scramble for my sword, which lies a few feet from me, when my love appears between the beasts and me and kills them.
"Thank you." I say, using my sword to bring myself to my feet. I give her a quick kiss and we look towards the army of hellish beasts around us.
We all hear a loud horn sound, and the beasts heads start darting around, and then they turn and flee from the battlefield. I smile slightly as our army regroups as they flee.
Our army of men clears the field and my love walks towards our tent with them. I stand amid the bodies on the body strewn field, and the arcid stench of the rotting corpses rises up to my nostrils. I put my sword into it's sheath and stand there for a few minutes, taking in all that is around me.
Large fires started by the beasts burn brightly on a nearby hilltop and our army, going back to their tents for the night.
After a full day of battle, I go back to mine as well.
