Elijah had spent every waking second over the last two days making preparations for the abandonment of Sunspear. As much as it galled his pride, he realized in his heart that it was the most prudent course of action. Besides, he thought, we are merely taking advantage of our greatest asset in the face of far superior numbers. Heading down the thoroughfare in the shadow of the Tower of the Sun, Elijah noticed two men striding towards him purposefully, swords unsheathed.
He stopped in his tracks and eyed them warily; hand on hilt. Insanity, he thought to himself, my people have truly lost their minds. "You two," Elijah said loudly but with calmness, "sheathe your weapons!"
"Not until it is covered in your blood, Martell dog," snarled the man out in front, "You killed my brother and his son yesterday at the gates. I'll have my satisfaction!" with this he charged in to engage Elijah.
Elijah swiftly drew his blade and met his attacker's in a single, deft motion. The sound of swords meeting rang across the courtyard, "What you'll have is your comeuppance," he said through gritted teeth. As he disengaged, the Dornish Prince snaked out his greatsword and gashed the man across the right shoulder.
Elijah spun to the side brought his brought his blade around and smashed into the second attacker. The force of the blow knocked the man from his feet and sent him rolling across the ground.
"YAA!!!!!" screamed the first man, charging in sword raised high. Elijah stepped towards him and brought his hilt up two handed smashing and breaking his attacker's nose. The man spun around and fell to the ground. Elijah let his momentum carry him around and he brought his sword down sharply; catching the other man in the shoulder. He screamed in pain and also fell to the earth.
Elijah felt the sharp bite of steel as the man with the shattered face dealt him a glancing slice across the arm. He hopped back to put both of the men in front of him, deciding then and there that he would put a swift end to this. The man with the ghastly shoulder wound wasn't long for this fight so he feinted swiftly towards him to draw the other in and, true to form, he charged. Elijah nimbly pivoted around and lunged forward, taking the man full in the chest. He died with a foot and a half of sword sticking from his back.
Elijah pulled his blade free and turned to face the remaining assailant and noticing that the man was practically dead on his feet, walked forward grimly to finish the job.
