Though Jessi thought he had escaped Tegonay’s range, he was soon proven wrong as the black knight grabbed his spear and pulled him in for a hit. Unfortunately due to the position his spear was in, Jessi only had two options: Let go of his spear and dodge the hit but leaving himself without a weapon once more, or take the hit and follow up with an attack of his own. Seeing the need to end this fight, Jessi chose the later pulling his spear from Tegonay’s grasp just as the pommel met his shoulder.
A loud
snap followed by immense pain sent Jessi screaming to the ground clutching his now broken shoulder. He could barely concentrate enough to hear the words Tegonay spoke over him as he attempted to convert the soldier to the “True” Imperials. Normally Jessi would have spat in his face and called him a name for this, but his usual wit was lost in the moment as survival was all that was on his mind. Grabbing his spear Jessi had every intent to get in one last swing before he was most likely finished off. But things took a good turn as Tegonay abandoned Jessi to pursue Si who was still full of surprises as she outmatched the larger opponent and sent him flying into a tree.
Spear in hand, Jessi saw an opportunity and wasted no time in taking full advantage of it. Pushing through the pain, Jessi pulled himself off the ground and began walking over to Tegonay with a few words for him.
”You allied yourself with mercenaries and thugs.” He said as he threw his spear at the dazed knight and pinned him to the tree.
”You slaughtered my brothers and sisters in arms.” Jessi grabbed the elven spear he had previously discarded and threw that as well further securing Tegonay to the tree.
”And yet you dare call yourself an Imperial? No. You are a traitor.” Now in front of the knight, Jessi found the strength to rip Tegonay’s own sword away from him and wield it with one hand.
”Normally, it’s the red’s who judge traitors. But for you? I think I’ll handle it.” With that, Jessi went to town. Slicing off both of Tegonay’s arms followed by his legs the enraged soldier finished him by stabbing the blade in the knight’s head, and cutting down right through his torso.
Taking a step back, Jessi dropped to a knee completely exhausted and muttered,
