Destiny
As the clash of swords quickly rose to a roar, Raiden the Insurgent sought out his main target. Dressed more elaborately than nearby subordinates, the Head of the Imperial Guard soon found himself locked in combat with the Insurgent whose name was already spoken as a legend.
“Surrender,” spat the Guard after a series of defensive blows, “and perhaps the Emperor will spare your life.”
“Never!” cried Raiden with a fierce strike. “His reign ends with the day!”
“You fool,” said the Guard, even as the movements of his sword became more frantic. “You cannot hope to withstand his might.”
“I must,” responded Raiden. With one last strike, he disarmed his opponent, then raised his blade for the killing blow.
“It is my destiny.”
