"So, is this how we're gonna do it?" a woman, red hair done up in a long braid that reached to her hips, asked the man she held her sword to.
"If you mean, is this how you're going to meet your Mother, than yes, witch, this is how we will do it," the man, almost two full heads taller than her with dark hair peppered grey and cut short enough so that it didn't even touch the collar of his shirt, answered as he held his large war axe at the ready.
Both combatants charged at each other as the roar of a crowd gathered to hear some singer at the outdoor theatre at Caesars Palace drowned out the clash of the warriors' blades. How the two Immortals had managed to get up on the roof of the hotel was anyone's guess, but they had managed to find this place that would ensure that no one, mortal or not, would interrupt the ancient dance that both had perfected for centuries.
Just as suddenly as it had started, though with less dialogue, it was all over. The loser's head hit the floor, their weapon dropped with a clang, and their life-force came out like lightening. Their Quickening, showering sparks on everything around that was metal, hit the victor with a force that might have killed them, had they not been Immortal.
Oblivious to what was happening just above them, the audience figured that the light show was just part of the act and cheered for their entertainer.
A few hours later, just as the hotel's staff was cleaning up after the show, one unfortunate employee was up on the roof, making sure that whatever had caused that unauthorized lightshow wasn't a danger to everyone else.
As he came upon the site of the battle that had resulted in the lightening, the man gave a gasp before taking up his walkie-talkie and informing security that they had a problem that would need police interference.
