>>5523068As you study Ashe closely, you notice that he intends to fight not with his bow, but rather with two blunted daggers that he’s produced from seemingly nowhere.
“That kid is going to fight Sebastian with those little toys?” Nero asks, incredulously. “He’s lost his damn mind!”
“Fighters! On my signal! Get ready! And…begin!” Theo yells, before backstepping from out of the middle of the ring.
The second the battle begins, Ashe surprises everyone by launching himself forward at Sebastian, daggers outstretched. Sebastian takes a wide swing with his axe, intending to crumple the much smaller fighter with one decisive blow. Ashe, meanwhile, manages to leap at just the right moment, and with all the grace of a cat, land on hilt of the large axe. Using the weapon as a springboard, he leaps onto Sebastian’s shoulders, and, finding a gap within the man’s armor, plunges his dagger down.
You find yourself jumping from your seat and standing on your feet as Sebastian reels from Ashe’s attack. The giant roars loudly as he attempts to buck Ashe off him, who is continuing to stab downward into the gap in his armor. Finally, after suffering enough damage, the general manages to grab Ashe with a free hand and throw him off his shoulders, onto the ground a few feet away. Ashe bares his daggers out, and lays low, waiting for another opportunity to pounce.
“Hah! I knew that kid had some bite!” Roxanne laughs. “Ol’ Sebby doesn’t look too sure of himself now!”
“What’s this?” Nero says, turning towards you. “It looks like our stuffy Commander is starting to enjoy the fight. What say you? Care to join in on the wager?”
