Figures By Firelight

Two figures, backlit from the burning remains of a formerly impenetrable fortress. The first figure draws a blade, long, sharp, dripping with fluid.

"Any last words?"

The second figure, their arm also dripping with fluid, takes a step backwards, as if that would help.

"Surrender and you'll not be harmed."

The blade drops in clear bemusement.

"Really? You honestly think that I should surrender to you? You honestly think you have the upper hand here?"

The second figure shrugs, the movement painful.

"Sort of, but really I just wanted to delay you."

The first figure is decapitated by a third.
