Undisputed

"hahaha yes that is it, make this fun" Arys gained a wolfish grin as he got into his stance crossing both his axe before himself.

Arthor responded by charging forward with a battle cry, unwilling to allow Arys to reclaim the initiative.

Arys seeing the charge did not hold his ground to await the strike charged forward as well, with a battle cry of his own.

Arys axes' went forward with an x swing which Arthor barely avoided by ducking downwards. With the axes past his head Arthor rose once more his sword now in a reverse grip he sliced through the shaft of one of the axes causing the head to fall.

Arys seeing this continued with his other axe to strike at Arthor's back but he placed his sword to his back to block the strike. His action barely stopping the strike with tore through his leathers leaving a deep red mark.

Arys didn't let up after seeing his strike had failed to kill Arthor but rather proceeded to smack the boy across the face with the shaft of wood he held is other arm.

The attack disorienting Arthor for a few seconds, allowing Arys to raise his axe above his head with both his arms after letting go of the shaft of wood.

The swing came down with the whistling of the wind missing Arthor by a hair's breadth. Arthor rolled in closing the distance before leaving a gash so deep the bone was exposed on Arys' leg.

Arys let out a loud curse as he dropped to his knee, letting out a scream of pain as his knee made contact with the earth.

"Arrgh!"

Behind him with a clear view, Arthor swung with his blade but rather than the sound of of steel ripping into flesh, the song of steel was heard.

Arys had brought his axe to the back of his head, blocking his strike. Arys proceed to push Arthor of him before powering through the pain, turning around with a wide swing intending to kill Arthor in one swing.

Arthor managed to take a step back allowing for the blade to pass right before him with the wind brushing against him. From Ary's heavy breathing as well as the trembling in his hands from the strike, Arthor knew... the injuries had finally gotten to Arys.

Not one to let an advantage go to waste Arthor jumped in with all the strength his body could muster and dug his blade into Arys skull.

Arys observed the strike from the first charge till the sword was buried in his skull. His eye saw the attack but the pain from his leg stopped him from moving. All he could do was watch as the brat took his life.

There was silence as Arys corpse fell backwards with an exhausted Arthor falling atop him.

"Arthor! Arthor the Slayer!" Someone screamed from Arthor's side, and soon all of Arthor's men were chanting.

"Arthor the Slayer! Arthor the Slayer! Arthor the Slayer!"

The white tusk's murmured amongst one another with the murmurs growing every passing second. The murmurs ceased immediately as Arthor struggled to his feet and turned to face them.

The look in his eyes, caused the grown men to feel a shiver down their spines. One dropped to their knees and soon the whole tribe fell in surrender, their actions only caused Arthor's tribe to cheer even louder.

*****

The news of Arthor's victory was quickly spread and with it came the surrender from all the surrender clans and tribes in the woodlands.

Arthor had finally become the undisputed high chief of the woodlands. None dared to raise their head but Arthor had not forgotten his vow... this was not the end, no this was but the beginning.

With such thoughts Arthor's clan prepared themselves getting ready for the spring and their chief's vengeance. A few more years would pass until the Skagossi winter finally passed, bringing in spring.

A spring which all of Skagos would remember, A spring that would come to be known as the blood spring.
