I do not own SquareEnix or Final Fantasy XI, and if I did, I would be rich and be out driving a Ferrari now. (I do not own a Ferrari.)

Please R&R, and my other fic too, since no one has yet.

Victory

A bead of sweat rolls down his cheek

"You can do this don't worry"

His grip tightened on his weapon

"Just like you have done a thousand times before"

The shadow creeps across the floor

"Okay it is coming, be ready"

An eerie silence is broken

"The mages have begun"

The monster looks at him

"It is time!"

Blows are exchanged

"I…it hit me!"

Light fades to darkness

"How could I… we, lose after coming this far."

Victory… for the monster.
