Death’s Embrace

She attempts to parry with her spear, but she underestimates Frey’s prowess. He disarms her with one swift strike, leaving her defenseless.

She is knocked back and falls to the ground. In a desperate attempt for survival, she picks up the fallen spear and hurls it at Frey. He catches it mid-air and tosses it aside.

“Looks like your journey has come to an end.”

With that, Frey brings down Zulfiqar on Zahara, the gleaming metal the last thing she sees as everything turns to black.

THE END
