Just a little something I wrote last year. I've been dubbed "King of Cliffhangers".
The corrupt mage stood in victory over Vikkael. He sneered to himself. "I do not see how you defeated my followers. You are nothing more than a man, a mere mortal. I smell your weakness, it pollutes the air." He used his powers to repair Vikkael's blade. "Again, fierce warrior. Come and slay me." He chuckled.
Vikkael slowly grabbed the blade. He was near the breaking point. Utterly spent. He felt the pain rush through him as he rose. He had to end this. For everyone counting on him. For every man, woman, and child of the three races. But most importantly, for himself. He had not yet earned his rest. "Mercy is not a weakness. It is a gift for those who have strayed from the path of good. A chance to return. You, mage, will get no such kindness from me." Vikkael tossed the blade aside. "You forget. I am no ordinary man." He said as he shed his armor. "And I am no mortal." He felt his skin ripping as he unleashed his true fury. The beast within. The end was at hand.
