Dead End Final Battle - Part 1

I looked down at the Duke who was lying on the ground, without a will to fight.

"So, what are we going to do with him?" asked Elanor.

"I think we just kill him," stated Alicar.

I had a think about it. Killing him would completely remove him as a threat, providing us with some breathing room. However, there could see be some information we could claw out of him which would give us aid with the eventual fight with the Progenitor. He wasn't in a position to fight back, now or ever. 

Although considering the personality of the vampire, he likely wasn't going to give any information, regardless of what we do. I've dealt with a lot of sarcastic, aloof people. If anything, the fact that they're so open with what they say is what makes it so hard to force them to do anything. 

No matter what, it always seems as if they are in control, ever-so-slightly.

Taking my blade, I walked closer to the vampire.
