The Noble's Hope

Richart charged straight at the young boy and the young boy slowly walked towards him. 

The boy suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Richart. 

Richart quickly turned as he swung his blade towards the boy, but as it made contact with him, it felt as if he were slicing through air. Mist could be seen as the boy disappeared. 

Confused, Richart tried to get an understanding of what happened, but before he could, the boy reappeared in front of him, before disappearing and reappearing again above him. 

Having somewhat predicted that, Richart, faintly pointed the back of his blade at the Boy's head, and as the boy descended a dark circle was formed above both of them as he raised his hand. 

But in that instant, a beam of light came out of the back of Richart's sword piercing the boy' straight in the middle of the boy's head and magic circle above him.
