War's End

    Familiar to the crowd, as well as the early favorite for the tournament, was Sir Kullvox of Ikros.  His years of training and endless wisdom instilled great confidence in the crowd that he would take the prize.  Kullvox quickly rode back to his squire and chose a new lance.  Shaking off the strong hit he had just received, Kullvox then looked over to his opponent on the other side of the arena.

    The Prince lifted his lance high in the air, signaling to Kullvox to make ready.  The Prince was an unknown to the crowd, but his early victories had quickly brought people to cheer him on.  Sir Hillsbrad and the newly knighted Sir Golan had even become fans of the knight, cheering him on from his side of the field.  The two knights again kicked their heels into the sides of their horses and begun their charge down the area.  Lances in hand, aiming for the other, time seemed to stand still as the two rode off at each other.

    Once again the shattering sound of lances hitting shields broke into the crowd noises.  The two knights had once more hit each other square and true, landing their blows with great accuracy.  The crowd roared at the spectacle, and the crowd even began to battle each other, arguing over who would win this tournament.
