Korumn easily slipped away from the fighting because even though he was very noticeable he could stick to the shadows very well.

The sun man made a few attempts at dodging in and out of the shadows to confuse anyone who might have followed him but the Goblin King kept a wary eye on him the entire time.

Soon they came to another tower cut off from the others, a tall tower with a winding staircase circling itself around the outside of the tower. But there was something more to it than just the mere look of it, Korumn felt its importance deep in his soul and he knew somehow there was someone very important within those walls-

This had to be where the king was hiding.

But just as Korumn prepared a shock he noticed that while he had been in awe of the strange building he had lost track of his prey.

"Hmm this is getting interesting" smiled Korumn, he hadn't seen the man go up the stairs but he assumed that he had already reached the top. The king of the goblins unsheathed his sword from the belt above his loin cloth and began to step forward so that he would no longer be in the shadow of the tower.

However, before Korumn could even make a move the young man who he had followed here jumped out in front of him from behind a brick pillar, blade unsheathed and pointed in the general direction of the Goblin King.

"I thought I smelled something foul following me-" snarled the young man as he stood defensively in front of the goblin. To Korumn the young sun man standing before him was hideous and yet remarkably strong looking for such a small sun man.

Korumn stood at least a foot higher than the man, "If you step aside I will make your death quick and painless."

"You aren't getting up these stairs" The young man did not move away from the stairs and Korumn sighed at the sun man's stubbornness with a deep frustration burning inside him.

"You will move if you are wise sun boy." growled the Goblin King, and he began to step forward, but before he could attack, the young man pulled out another sword from his belt and held them defensively.

"I'll die first," he roared at Korumn.

There had to be something good in that tower if this man was so adamant about defending it. If Korumn was right the young sun man had to be guarding the king.

"Suit yourself," Korumn growled with a malicious grin spreading over his lips.

The young man was indeed Gabriel, the king of the sun people and Korumn, unbeknownst to Gabriel, was the king of the goblins.

King against King; Korumn started the duel by charging at the smaller being, using his height as a clear advantage over Gabriel. In order to dodge this violent attack Gabriel had to throw up both his arms quickly to block the Goblin King with his blades and took a step backwards to support himself.

The swords clashed and sent small sparks flying, again and again the sparks were made, with each clash as the opponents tried to throw the other off balance.

While Korumn and Gabriel were both trained thoroughly in sword fighting it was Gabriel who fought with 'proper' human duelling technique. Korumn, on the other hand, fought much like a ferocious beast, which was the goblin duelling style, attacking over and over until he backed off only for a second.

The stamina of the goblin shocked Gabriel and he found himself choking on his own breath as he tried to keep up with him.

However it was Gabriel who was fighting off the goblin king better, even though his muscles were being torn and acid was rabidly stunting his movements the Sun King would not fall apart, for he was fighting for the life of his wife.

It is very easy to assume that when a very powerful country attacks a much weaker one that the stronger will win in the end, it is easy and it is also very likely, but, it is not always true.

The king of the goblins was fighting to claim the Sun King's possession but the Sun King fought to keep them and at the moment he was fighting to keep Korumn away from Angelica and this gave the Sun King more strength so that he could keep coming back to fight off the Goblin king.

Neither the Gabriel nor the Korumn noticed the other goblin watching the fight as they crept up the stairs to the top of the tower.

The goblin was Mefeero, she had seen Korumn leaving the battle in the court yard and decided to follow him. Now that she saw that Korumn was taking good care of what she believed was the guard, Mefeero decided to go up to the top of the tower where she believed the king was hiding.

Intense :D

Well I'm not great at writing fight scenes unfortunately... :P

oh well, I hope everyone noticed that Gabriel was fighting with two swords which I think is an awesome ability XD and it seems to work though Korumn is definitely stronger, Gabriel's just got a lot of adrenaline since he's protecting Angelica.
