Friday Five!

[actionreaction]

This is something for LT3 Press, for later this year. I'm hoping it gets accepted into the upcoming anthology.

The squire's eyes stung as sweat poured into them, but he didn't so much as raise a hand to wipe his brow. He could feel his knight's eyes on on him and the number one thing he refused to do was look weak. So he blinked the sweat away as rapidly as he could, took his stance and lunged again.

Once again his thrust was easily parried, but this time, the knight slapped the blade further to the right, slid into close range and smacked the flat of the blade against his stomach. "Hit. Were I an enemy, squire, you would be dead."

Squire and knight both have names, but they're written down elsewhere and I can't recall them right now. I had changed them a couple times simply because other names didn't feel right and now I can't recall what I settled on because I haven't devoted much time to this yet. My focus has still pretty much all been on Shadowbinder.
