I hope that my vote can still count even though I am very new to this form. I am an espiring riter myself and I can't wait to start my fan fic. I didn't know who to pick and I hope I didn;t make anyone mad but I think tailus will win.

Ahh your vote counts......no problems! And now it´s very close...hmm I wonder...

[Taillus]

Wow I am seriously biting my nails off here people. It is so close and so very much any man's game at this point. I guess all we can do is wait till tuesday.

Don't forget that anyone can vote. We haven't heard anything from Red, Trey, Shrax, wolfie and more. With such a short time to go we are still tied so we need to get some votes.

[Agent Griff]

So it seems Taillus is now in the lead. The battle could go in any direction right now if you ask me. Well, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out any results.

[treydog]

Actually I voted and my vote was recorded, but the accompanying post was not.

Anyway, this looks very close. Arthago is a skilled warrior, yet Taillus had no fear of dying, which means he could do something unpredictable. Hmmmm.....

By the way, great write up of the fight, too.

[jack cloudy]

This is a neck to neck battle. Man, one vote can mean it all.

Thanks for the compliment, Treydog.

[Agent Griff]

It seems Taillus will win unless I get two more votes. Well, good job for writing the battle Jack. It's been a pleasure fighting Taillus, I wish him luck in the next battle. And I also wish Luper luck in the battle with Telina.

[Elidor]

I have to say probably taillus, he just sort of strikes me as a juggernaut style killer...

[Taillus]

Well it seems that in the closing days of this round I somehow managed to come ahead. Griff it was a painfully close one and for a while I thought you were going to have it. I hope you will decide to write a battle for Clash further down the line and keep up the amazing work on your Fic. You have a huge fan base friend and don't forget it!

[Agent Griff]

Thanks for the kind words. I apreciate it. Well, good luck in your future match with whoever it may be.

[jack cloudy]

Whew, it was a close match. Well, people can still vote but I doubt we'll get the invasion of voters needed to change the outcome so I'll start brainstorming. Good luck in the next match, taillus. And Griff, Arthago fought well, so no need to feel (too) bad for him. After all, it's a dream arena and no one dies.

Anyway, I also wanted to say this. Welcome to the forums, Jiub! I'll be happy to read any fan fics you'll write.

[Agent Griff]

You wait until the next Clash of the Titans ! Just kidding, it was good fun comparing Arthago's powers against someone else. I can't wait to do it another time. Well, good luck in the next match Taillus, you're gonna need it if you've gotten this hard over poor old Arthago.

[jack cloudy]

Alright, here it is. It is quite short, sorry. But I hope you like it.




Despite having been hit twice, Taillus didn’t seemed worried at all. In fact, he looked more confident than ever. He switched back to his sword and started raining blows at the Redguard who dodged as much as he could and parried what he couldn’t.

Arthago was tiring rapidly. He couldn’t hold out against this madman much longer and knew it. That only left one option. When he finally saw his chance, he rolled out of the way and created the distance he needed. He needed to stop Taillus from swinging his sword for a single moment.

,,Coward. Are you afraid to die?” Taillus said. He showed no signs of exhaustion.
,,No, I’m not afraid.” Arthago responded and did the one thing Taillus never expected. He attacked.

In his surprise, Taillus failed to protect himself from the vicious swipes of the knight’s scimitar. Arthago managed to slash his chest several times. He then backed of again. If he could just keep the imperial from healing himself, he would eventually die from bloodloss. But the wounds only seemed to fuel the strength of Taillus. Holding his sword in one hand and his mace in the other, Taillus stormed forward. Gone was the look of madness in his eyes, only rage and bloodlust remained.

Arthago did his best to avoid both of the weapons and for a moment it seemed that he would win as Taillus began to slow. But finally, Taillus’s sword struck and brought Arthago to the ground. Fortunately for the knight, his death would be swift and relatively painless. Taillus drove his mace with all the strength he had left in the skull of the Redguard. The mace of Molag Bal killed the young knight instantly and also healed the wounds Taillus had received. Finally, the fight had ended.

,,You’ve done well, Taillus. Soon, you shall continue the hunt and harvest the souls I need. But first you shall finish this tournament.” The voice of the Daedra echoed in his head. Taillus raised his mace up into the air and looked at the strange figure who seemed to be wearing a deer’s skull as a helmet.
,,Is this the best you’ve got?! Who’s next?!” He shouted. The figure nodded in satisfaction of the battle, raised his hands and placed Taillus on one of the benches that surrounded the arena. He then summoned forth the next two fighters.

[Agent Griff]

A grand end to this fight, even though Arthago lost. Well, Taillus won by a hair anyway and he seems to be the better fighter. Good luck in the next fight!

[Tellie]

Ahh....I liked the ending...good that Arthago got away painless...*sniff*...but I'm still sad..Arthago was a great man, and his loss will be felt..

My compliments to you Griffie, and my congratz to you Tai...here let's share a in rememberal of the winner and the one who lost...

So... a Jona for your efforts Cloudy...I wish thee luck against Telina...and take a Milanius as well...

[Agent Griff]

It's not like Arthago really died. You can still expect great things of him back home in Hammerfell.

[Taillus]

Truly Tele it will be a cake of sadness and woe as well as a cake of victory. Very well written and I have to say you really portrayed my character well (with voices and everything!) Great work and expect the match of Kell vs Sirin to be up by days end!

[jack cloudy]

Thank you. I had fun writing it. It was different then using plain old Lup again.

Good luck to both Kell and Sirin, I can't wait.

Telendil, tell Telina that Luper won't hold back. He'll probably go all ,,Where in the name of Oblivion am I?! And who are you?!" But once he gets the idea, he'll go for it. So good luck. (You won't need it. )

[Kiln]

The battle was well written and it seemed pretty close match up until the end, with both characters being wounded and all, it didn't seem too one sided and the death was quick so it was good.

Great job at writing the battle, Jack and good luck in the next round Taillus.
