I gestured to the boy who ad taken the role of page for me, and accepted another of the special lances. “Hya” I roared, spurring my horse into motion. Right as we were about to clash, I pulled on that link Igneel and I shared. This time, I felt my eyes sharpen and it seemed the world itself slowed down as we approached each other.
I could see that the aim at my left was a feint and his muscles were tensing to attack the right. I left my shield there, not falling for the feint, and aimed my lance straight for his shield. His lance shattered against my sheild and I barely even felt it. Mine practically exploded against his shield, shooting Ben off his horse and to the ground.
I turned right back around right after we hit checking on him to see
if he was alright. And he was. He was rolling with the impact, pushing himself up to his feet already.
“Another win for you, my lord” He said. I nodded.
“That makes what now?” I asked, feeling an arrogant smile creep its way onto my face.
“Oh you know exactly how many that makes it” Ben said, taking it in good humor. He was taking well to losing to a sixteen year old all things considered. Well, I wasn’t even sixteen yet. We still had a few moons until that was the case.
“Nephew. May I?” I heard a voice in the distance, right behind the crowd that had formed to watch Ser Ben and I clash lances.
“Uncle Vaemond. Are you sure?” I asked, not certain I wanted to joust with the man.
