A few seconds of silence passed after Adal spoke.
Next thing he knew, a sword came swinging towards his neck.
It was too fast for him to block. Time seemed to slow down.
Is this the end for me?
CLANG!
Sword met sword, as someone stepped between him and the strike, defending him.
Everything was too fast for Adal to process it, but once events had slowed down, he was able to see what had happened.
The older prince, Bravo, had aimed to kill him, and the younger prince, Virtue, had defended him.
Bravo snarled at his younger brother.
"You dare save this devil's life? This devil who walks into our home and disrespects our family, whilst being nothing but a librarian?"
Virtue smirked at his older brother.
"This devil might have just revealed a traitor amongst us. I think his life is worth saving."
The two dashed away from each other, putting distance between them, and then they charged again.
"ENOUGH!"
