Daemerungslied: Regenesis Of Dusk

Chapter 7

As Luna's group aproaches the temple at the center of the city of El Dorado, they are once again confronted by Eleanor.

"So," Eleanor says, "I see you all survived your nature trail."

"Everybody, run!" Lucille shouts. "I'll deal with Eleanor."

"So, you've decided to fight me alone."

"Of course. I would only be needlessly putting them in danger if I told them to help me in this fight. Now, what is your deal? Why do you want to fight me so badly?"

"To prove once and for all that I was the one truly worthy of restoring the kingdom of Camelot.

"That's what this rivalry is about? A ruined castle in a moor?"

"En garde, lucille!"

A sword materialises in Lucille's hands.

"What are you going to do? Just hit me with a stick? You have no hope of beating me in single combat."

Lucille lunges.

"I've seen how you fight."

She parries.

"I know all of your moves."

"Do you?"

Eleanor takes a few steps back and fires a fireball.

Lucille jumps over the ball of flame.

"It's the same as ever, I see."

"You won't win. You're just stalling."

"No."

Lucille rushes towards Eleanor and strikes at her chest.

"It's a draw. As always."

The sword clatters to the ground.

"A draw. What is that supposed to mean?

"It means that neither of us can defeat the other."

"Then why are you trying so hard to beat me?"

"Because... because you are a coward."

"How dare you?"

"I will show you a real duel. A duel where I win, and you die."

"No! You can't!"

"Yes, I can. And I will."

"I'll stop you!"

"Try."

Eleanor picks up her sword and rushes at Lucille.

Lucille blocks her attack, but she is clearly shaken.

"Stop this, Eleanor! We don't have to fight!"

"We have no choice! Only one of us can inherit the kingdom of Camelot!"

"But... that's not true!"
