Battlefield

Duncan's face twisted in rage, his voice dripping with venom. "Don't get ahead of yourself, kid! We're no different, you and I."

Julius chuckled, his gaze unwavering. "Oh? The difference between us is far more than you realize, Duncan. Let's start with the basics: I eat beef, you eat humans. Already a pretty wide gap there. And then there's the little fact that I can walk freely in daylight, while you're chained to the shadows. The one at a loss here, Duncan, is you."

Julius's smirk deepened, and with lightning speed, he closed the gap between them, slashing his silver sword in an arc aimed at Duncan.

Duncan barely dodged the slice, stepping back just in time, but his companion wasn't as fortunate; their neck was severed in a swift, brutal strike. 

Enraged, Duncan extended his hand, reattaching his fallen comrade with his blood strings, dragging the limp body out of Julius's reach.
