The Green Knight kicks you hard in the gut, ripping his sword from you with a flourish of blood and gore as you clutch at the wound and struggle to stay on your feet. That strength… He shouldn’t HAVE such strength, even as well-trained and vengeance-driven as you presume him to be. The man is fighting, like… Well, like demon. And his voice… It is HIS voice, there is no mistaking it, but beneath it… The feminine reverb, the crackle of fire and whisper of unclean winds. He and the Succubus… They are in-sync, as they were not before, sharing a purpose.
“You took them away from us!” the voices roar. “You vile SERPENTS! You fucking LIZARDS! You just don’t know when to STOP!”
With that same burst of unearthly speed, the Greater Demon and Green Knight hurtle towards you, even as-fear0stricken beyond reason—you backpedal and lift your blade with flagging sword-arm to just barely block the next blow—and the next, and the next, as they rain down.
“If you scaly bastards would just LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE, they’d still be here! My father! Your mother! They died because you can’t just LET IT GO!”
You gnash your teeth, trying to choke out a retort through the blood, trying to even take in enough air to do so, but it is all you can do to parry, sidesteps, and block.
“LEAVE! US! ALONE!!”
What will you do?
