A Sort Of Victory

Behind me, I heard the sound of his armor shifting as he took a battle stance.


I waited a moment in a vain hope that he'd attack some foe I couldn't sense. But no attack was forthcoming, and I knew he was waiting for me to turn around. So I spoke without doing so.


"All this time, and now you turn on me?"


"Turn around!"


"Just tell me why, please. I deserve-"


"You deserve nothing, but I'll give you an honorable death! Turn around!"


"No. You attack me from behind if you're-"


I felt the blade, and his honor vanish.
