The Dual

Ok, here's the new juice! Enjoy.......


I didn't expect it so quickly this time. I mean, I know i'm quick, but he's fast. You wouldn't expect it from a man of his size and stature. When I had agreed to this dual and it's simple yet painstaking rules, I thought for sure i had him. I thought for sure that if we weren't allowed to use magic in the dual he wouldn't be worth the pair of six dollar payless sneakers he was wearing now. A fist fight, a pure back alley, underground, school yard brawl. I mean hell when he proposed it the first thought that went through my head was the movie Fight Club and the numerous scense of guys pounding the shit out of each other, but this was different. In the movie they tapped out when they had enough, this wasn't the case here, this was to the death and we both agreed to those terms. I figured he thought he was outclassed when it came to magic but, to give terms of no magic, no weapons, just pure physical strength was just...... insane.
We were both tiring at this point, the fight had been going on for several minutes. I could see it in his body how tired he was and the fact that I was laying on my back from his last punch should tell you just how tired I am. Here was a man about five foot two on a lucky day who probably weighed in at less than a hundred pounds, a man who could be thrown off his feet with a summer breeze. Now take me, i'm just shy of six foot, I weigh in at over a hundred eighty pounds, I work out and he is the one standing five feet from me laughing with his witness, and that's when it struck me.
Well, it didn't hit me literally but, I tasted it. It was rolling around in my mouth, it had a bitter and aweful taste. It tasted like something had gone rotten in the fridge and I had tken a bite out of it. It was full hatred, louthing, and murder. It was a spell! He had been cheating the entire time and I hadn't detected it because it was something new, something I had never even heard of.
I sat up slowly, giving off the appearance that I was almost done. It wasn't hard to be honest, I was hurting really bad and if he kept using this new form of magic I was toast. I quickly glanced over at the judge standing in the shadows of the room. In that brief glance his elven eyes met mine and a subtle yet quick smirk spread across his lips but, just as fast as it appeared it disappeared. He knew, he had sensed it in that last hit too but, it wasn't something either one of could prove.
I stood up, and very carefully did the only thing I could. I gathered up what was left of the spell he had used on me and infused it into my right hand. Making my fist a preverbial jack hammer. It was magic used against me and I was the king of redirective magic. Jacob had crossed the line which meant that I was now allowed to. He eyed me suspiciously, he hadn't detected what I had done but I knew the judge had.
Jacob rushed me just then, probably in hopes of finishing me off. I watched as he came, standing still, perfectly calm, and waiting. It didn't take long, he was almost upon me. I took two brief steps forward, closing the distance between us, pulled my right arm back and threw every ounce of energy I had left in my body right at his nose......................................................................


Ya ya ya, like I'm gonna give you the ending to the fight, lol. The fight scene is still a work in progress, this is only part of it. So try not to be too critical, lol!! Hope you all have a great weekend!!
