The Last Bout

Francis had only one fight left.

And this, he thought, I'm gonna hit a bar.

With his new salary, he could enjoy a good, long drink.

.......

They had changed the arena where they were going to fight.

There were eight contestants left.

And a huge crowd was gathered.

They even got an announcer, and the king and queen were present.

Which Francis thought was quite funny.

Out of all the knights that fought in these last matches, Francis realized that the strongest had been the girl he had fought.

He felt pretty relaxed, waiting for the next fight.

It was going to be easy, he thought. After all, he had already defeated the strongest opponent.

Humans always do that.

They set expectations onto life, for it to all just come crashing down.

.........

It was finally Francis' turn.

He quickly got up quickly and went towards the stage.

It was a pleasant day for fighting, thought Francis, as the sun shone its rays of radiation onto every living being.
