Rangers Apprentice Trial by Combat Remade


     Walking towards Halt, seeing his proud smile, Will felt his heart filled with joy.  The rare smile on Halt’s face reassured him that he had truly made him proud by winning the trial by combat. But the flames of pride were quickly extinguished when Will saw the assassin preparing to shoot the only person who was like a father to him ! He started running but it seemed as though Halt was miles away and he was running through quicksand . Hearing the sickening crunch of bone being crushed, Will knew Halt was dead. The sorrow and guilt of being too late was almost as painful as the crossbow bolt that pierced his OWN skull. Nobody saw Tennyson, the false preacher of Aliyah, smiling grimly  in the podium. “Now that Holt and will are dead there’s nothing preventing me from taking over Clonimel and stealing all their riches,” he thought happily.  Watching their bodies being dragged into the forest, he scoffed, “ Now there will be no evidence they were ever here!”
