So Ive been meaning to post this for a while, I have about 3 'episodes' ready but ill be posting them one at a time for you. So here you go. The Challenge Not again thought Nathaniel. He looked forlornly at the while glove that littered the floor in front of him now and had done so many times over the last few months. “Do you really want to do this again?” He asked the aggravated gentleman in front of him. “Yes sir.” He nodded with the same stubborn enthusiasm that he had always had. Nathaniel gave a sigh before picking up the glove and throwing it to the man. “Fine I accept. But on your head be it.” The man challenging him was Edgar Holingbury. He was the son of a rich merchant family who had moved to the area and were trying to assert themselves as nobles. The rest of the family were doing so in much more agreeable ways that were more likely to succeed but there headstrong son had got it into his head that by duelling the son of the largest landowners on the area he would gain nobility. He was getting more desperate recently. Each time he challenged him he would go away beaten with his tail between his legs only to come back in a week or so claiming to have improved greatly and wanting another duel. If only he could see that he was just humiliating himself each time he lost. Most of the nobles in the area now had sons of there age preparing to take on property and duelling had become increasing popular and vastly more important. Edgar was being judged on how he thought and by loosing he was building up a poor reputation. Nathaniel almost felt sorry for the lad but he had accepted the duel so he would fight it. As he walked away from the man he drew his rapier. It was a long sword with a thin blade crafted by one of the best smiths in the surrounding area. The handle had a steel guard covered in various gold and silver linings and patterns. The handle was wrapped using fine wool and dyed red leather. It was the sword that he had been given when he had come of age and had cost his father a great sum of money. It had an almost perfect balance and was regularly cleaned and sharpened to keep it in good condition. In a challenge like this neither man wanted a fight to the death so they would be aiming for blows with the flat side of the blade. This meant that most of the blows would be to the chest or back. The two duellists walk away from each other so that they are a few metres apart when the duel starts. The nobles that were watching began to jeer and mock Edgar and others were egging on Nathaniel to make it a quick fight. The two duellists didn’t show any sign of noticing as they turned and bowed before brandishing their sword and getting into a fencing stance. One of the noble sons that had been standing at the front of the crowd stepped forwards and went through the customary rules and regulations before signalling for the fight to begin. (This is the longest i have so far, hope you like it.) |
