Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #25: Ensemble for the Warriors

Instead of drawing her sword, she turned and fled.

He followed.

Was she leading him into another trap or was she a coward?

She seemed to know the layout of the old castle for she eluded him for a short while, but enviably, he caught her.

Seeing an opening, he flicked his wrist, his poison whip circling her ankle, and he yanked her to the ground, dragged her closer.

Like a cornered animal, she turned, claws bared, hissing at him.

He didn’t have the luxury to draw this out even though it was obvious she was no fighter.

He struck.
