Eye for an Eye
Author's Notes: So while writing for Forever Bound (please check it out if you haven't got the chance), I started to think about Lavitz's death a little more. I had written an one-shot death fic once before, but it was a tad more uplifting (plus I had written it when I was thirteen or so). Anyway this is a different take on it.
Enjoy

I will destroy you.
Thoughts of anger and frustration quickly seeped into his brain as a think red liquid flowed from the palms of his hands down to his forearms. Light blue eyes looked down at the lifeless body that lay down before him. "Lavitz—"
A darkened chuckle.
His head jerked up, a weary face meeting that of his self claimed mortal enemy. Crimson eyes looked down upon him mockingly. A thin smirk appeared on his seemingly pure perfectly white face. "So sorry," he whispered just so the young warrior could hear.
Sore lungs took in a sharp breath, causing his sides to hurt more than ever. "Tch…" he muttered angrily, forcing himself to detach himself from his friend. The battle with Fruegel and his pets had worn them all out, especially the now lifeless form of the knight. Pieces of the events that had taken place only but a few moments before began to circulate through his mind.
They had just finished the battle---most had a few cuts here and there, save for the three who had pushed themselves to the front of the fight. Rose, the seasoned warrior that she was, had been the one to take down Fruegel himself while Lavitz and Dart had focused on the animals.
He didn't know, and didn't wish to recall, how many times he had been thrown up into the air. His back still ached from the impact of falling to the ground. Still, they had finished the fight with very little consequence aside from several sore muscles and a few gashes.
It was a time to celebrate a victory well done—nearly. For just as a smile crossed Dart's face, an ominous figure slithered out from the shadows, sword in hand. Five pairs of eyes were set upon the bound Albert in horror as a sword plunged into the back of the Serdian king.
Brown orbs widened in intense pain.
"Albert!"
The stranger's sword pulled out quickly, carrying a glowing emerald orb with it.
"God damn it!" Dart watched in awe as he watched his comrade's rage turn into the fuel that he needed to summon the power of his dragon. With wings and armor fully formed, the dragon knight rushed towards the cloaked figure with ungodly speed.
Speed that was cut short with a terrifying union of sword and body.
In moments, the knight was on the floor, gasping for breath.
In moments, the cloaked figure revealed his true self. Lloyd.
In moments, Dart felt as if he had returned to the time of Neet. He felt his pride wounded, his heart plummet, and his life nearly fall apart once more.
And now he was back where he started.
With the feeling of rage.
And the promise.
The promise of what goes comes around.
The promise of an eye for an eye.
I will destroy you, Lloyd. You can count on that.
