After Augustus' surprise, the tournament continued
Ser Arthur Dayne and his magnificent two swords style entered the arena
Augustus was curious, no doubt Arthur Dayne can be considered the greatest known sword wielder.
Arthur Dayne, in addition to being strong, was tall and handsome, aroused Augustus' desire
Arthur's poor opponent even tried, but the style of the two swords is unique and strong, in 1 minute Arthur won
Barristan Selmy was next, his sword style was basic, his form was basic, however, Augustus noted, Barristan had trained in sword basics to mastery level.
Although Arthur has a more attractive style, in a mortal battle, Augustus believes that Selmy would send Arthur to his death using his experience, really strong.
Soon came the turn of Rhaegar Targaryen, his style looked like a dance, noble and powerful, although it was still far from its heyday, it already made Rhaegar enter the ranks of the highest level of the sword.
Rhaegar Targaryen bested his opponent easily, then looked at Augustus
To other people, that look was a look of challenge, but Augustus saw the ill intent, clearly Rhaegar wanted to show off in front of him.
Gradually the tournament passed, no other knight reached the level of these 4
in Augustus' second fight, his opponent was much worse than Jason, he couldn't even fall to his knees without crying, when his knee was cut the opponent threw himself to the ground and screamed in pain, pathetic
Selmy, Arthur and Rhaegar keep winning
maybe it was fate wanting to see good fights, none of them met in the draws and unsurprisingly, the 4 reached the semi final
Ser Arthur Dayne vs Ser Barristan Selmy
Augustus Lannister vs Rhaegar Targaryen
This tournament has arrived at the most awaited moment
Arthur and Selmy entered the arena, two respected knights
the fight was extremely balanced and lasted more than 8 minutes, when finally Arthur managed to take down Selmy and won
If it was a life and death battle, Augustus still thinks Selmy would win, but it was a friendly battle and Selmy finally succumbed to Arthur's skill.
Be Arthur Dayne first finalist
Rhaegar then entered the arena, but he now wore light armor.
"let's fight on equal terms, young Augustus" Rhaegar
"as you wish, your highness" Augustus
"START"
Augustus then fired, as Rhaegar didn't wear heavy armor, he didn't aim for low spots and decided to test his mastery.
his thin sword snapped out, Rhaegar slipped his blade and parried.
this was the first opponent who managed to defend the blade of Augustus
smiling, Augustus felt his body burn with the will to fight.
"ahhhhhhhhhh" Augustus snapped and started to lunge with his sword
the screeching sound of clashing steel left everyone in awe
Rhaegar was sweating incessantly, he used his ability only to defend himself, as he had no speed to counterattack.
'too fast.....damn...if I get distracted it's gone' Rhaegar
Augustus' physical strength was low, the danger of his blows was in his speed, if Augustus' strength was greater, the young prince would not be able to take it anymore
that battle totally turned into attack vs defense
time has passed, 5 minutes is little for someone who doesn't fight but to wield a sword is a huge physical effort
Augustus' speed dropped slightly, as did Rhaegar's stamina.
Augustus's green eyes remained calm, his gaze now and then shifting to Rhaegar's left shoulder.
Rhaegar is right-handed so he wields his sword with his right hand, maybe people believe that's why his left side doesn't matter much, but that's a lie, the left part is the damn center of balance and the right is the attack
Augustus's beautiful green eyes gleamed like a snake, he noticed the soft spot
He attacked as usual, Rhaegar prepared to defend but something changed, Augustus dropped his sword after the swords collided and shot towards Rhaegar's body.
his balance point was too tired and all his effort was directed at defending the sword, so even realizing it was too late.
like a serpent's embrace, Augustus grabbed the prince's body and threw him to the ground, the two rolled together on the ground.
Augustus drew the dagger hidden in his body and quickly placed it in the jugular of Rhaegar's neck.
the young prince smelled Augustus's sweat and turned red, the dagger around his neck didn't seem to matter so much, after all he realized he lost
the two great-looking boys stayed there, clinging to the ground, each one smelled the other, Augustus even liked the situation, but in his hand the dagger did not leave the position
"Looks like I lost, you are very fast young Augustus" Rhaegar
"thank you" Augustus lowered the dagger and stood up
then he lifted his hand and gave it to Rhaegar to help him to his feet.
during this process, Augustus went to the prince's ear and spoke
"the rolling on the floor part was the best, let's do it again sometime.....in a bed" Augustus
Rhagar heard that and his body burned, he understood Augustus' suggestion and he wanted it badly, his mind started to think about fighting Augustus naked in bed
Augustus saw the prince's red face and laughed, then started to leave the arena.
"winner, Augustus Lannister, in 1 hour the final begins, Augustus Lannister against Ser Arthur"
