The Iron Cast

This was meant to be the end. Even before the clash of steel echoes over the hill most onlookers have already etched the conclusion into stone. One warrior overtakes the other almost immediately, unmatched in skill, strength, and finesse. But all who predetermined fate are suddenly mistaken, for with just one well placed blade the crowd is hushed as destiny changes. The silence breaks on hard earth as the armored figure collapses, colliding with sickening force. Let us all remember this moment and learn to control our own fortune. May we conquer death today so that tomorrow becomes yet another day in eternity.
