Prince Vulkan stood in the centre of the field. Before him the huge figure of Count Branco, the king’s champion, settled his battered shield on to his arm and hefted his broadsword ready to begin another attack.

The roar of the crowd seemed come from all around, rolling over the field like thunder as the two knights began to warily circle one another yet again. The champion was the favourite of the crowd, to both vanquish the upstart foreign prince and carry off the beloved Princess Flamia.

However, Vulkan had other ideas. The satyr had come to the summer festival as Malpurgo had instructed and easily fought his way through the lists to this final combat with the never before beaten Branco. However, the Champion was weakening after twenty minutes of punishing combat. His best and most powerful attacks had been easily warded off by the unknown prince and for the first time the knight who had never before tasted defeat, began to face up to the prospect of being beaten at the very moment of his greatest triumph!

Summoning up all of his reserves of strength and courage Branco attacked again, his great sword whirling above his head as he advanced. Vulkan parried and blocked repeatedly as Branco pressed home his attack. The clang and clash of their flashing swords echoed around the field as they fought back and forth with a ferocity that had the crowd on its feet, baying like a pack of wolves for blood.

Finally, Branco was forced by sheer exhaustion to cease his attack. Backing off as he sought to rest his aching sword arm. Instantly, Vulkan leapt forward, his own sword whirling above his head to build momentum as he rained down blow after blow upon his opponent’s shield arm, crushing and splitting the battered iron as if it were mere vellum.

Inside his helm, Branco screamed as the remains of the shield were ripped away. The knight twisted sideways so as to present his sword arm to Vulkan who continued to press home his attack. The satyr prince raining down blow after blow on to Branco’s upraised blade until the sheer weight of descending metal beat the critically weakened knight down on to his knees.

With a final crushing stroke, Vulkan shattered Branco’s blade, sending the glittering shards of steel spinning away into the dirt, leaving the decimated knight defenceless.

Vulkan looked toward the royal grand stand, where all of the assembled nobility of Dashane had risen to stand as one. The onlookers silent and overawed at the devastating show of sword-craft given by the erstwhile-unknown prince. Through the narrow slit of his helm, Vulkan’s hungry eyes zeroed in on the three fabulous creatures gathered around the king, Queen Amariza, Princess Flamia and Leopold’s sister, Princess Lilliphane.

The prince closed his eyes against the red mist suffusing his vision. The incredible violence of the combat, coupled with the imminent propinquity of Leopold’s royal bitches was threatening to overwhelm him. Vulkan had been unable to get to the ever-willing countess or any other female for that matter for several days.
