You decided you'll finish this in the next round and not give her any more chances. With the final clash she's preparing to use the same trick as last time. She thrusts forward with her lance but you don't raise yours. Instead you quickly reach up and close your hand around it. With a big pull you yank her off her horse before slamming her in the torso with your spear. As she falls to the ground you are declared the winner.
Rolling around to get on her knees she takes off her helmet and smashes her fist in the ground.
"CURSES!"
As you get a better look at her you get to see her weird features. She's completely bald and has two small horns sprouting from her forehead and her earlobes are pretty big. She looks like a goat almost. You extend a hand to her.
"Good job nannie!"
She looks up at you and with anger she smacks away your hand.
"I don't need your sympathy! Get out of my sight!"
Getting up she storms away while trying to hide her tears.
"Sheehs. Talk about sore looser."
The announcer then approaches you.
"And we have a new champion Lords and Ladies! Please give it up for Black Knight!"
He hands over a big trophy made of pure gold. The thing must be worth a pretty penny. As you take it he raises your hand to the ovation of the audience. Then he starts speaking to you more privately.
"His lordship was very pleased with your performance and wishes for an audience with you. Please, follow me!"
Curious to see what the king wants you follow the little man to the pavilion of the ruling lord. He gets up from his mighty chair and walks down to meet you eye to eye before offering his hand which you take. He seems pleased.
"Excellent fight. I never thought I'd see the day I'd have fun on the tourney. Ever since I knew it it's been the same ten people flaunting themselves before a crowd. And now you've shown me such a grand finale. Bravo!"
"Thanks. But it was a team effort."
"Indeed. I'll have my subjects seek out Angel Knight as well. She fought well for a Birkan."
"Birkan?"
"Ah. A foreigner. Should've know. Yes. Birkan. They are people from another sky island. Refugees. Their home was destroyed many years ago. Few of them survived and flooded other sky islands, including our own. Many resent them, calling them parasites. But enough about them. Let's talk about you! I'd feel bad if all you got for that magnificent display was this lousy little trophy. Tell me, what do you wish for ser knight? If it's within my power I shall grant it to you!"
>I'm kinda hungry
>GET ME OUT OF THIS ARMOR! NOW!
>I have this friend that wants to know more about sky islands. Can you help with that?
>Other?
