Fight.

As the water hit the sleeping Melusa, Arerto dropped the bowl and watched as the startled Melusa turned over in the bed. Arerto caught the glint of a blade in Melusa's right hand so out of Amazon training and instinct she caught the wrist with her left hand. Her right grabbed Melusa's throat "Good news and bad news Melusa. My left hand is my weaker hand that is the good news the bad news is my right hand is my strongest and even in my weakened state I could break your neck. Do not expect help from your guards they have been taken care of so you are defenceless but unlike you, I am going to give you a choice. The first choice is you can lay there while I **** you to **** or your second choice is you can fight me one on one. In my weakened state, you should have no trouble winning and if you win and do not kill me I will become your willing ****. When I win you will be dead, unfortunately." Arerto waited for Melusa to gasp out her reply.

Melusa lay there her eyes filled with a venomous stare as she gasped that she would go for option two so Arerto squeezed her left hand a little harder until the blade dropped to the floor. Arerto told her to gather her armour and weapons and to also inform her subordinates what was happening and that they were not to interfere in the fight. With this done Katherine and Freya entered and Melusa knew that resistance was futile and did what she was told. Fifteen minutes later both women were in the town square and a crowd had gathered and the terms of the fight were announced by Melusa then the duo went to their places and Arerto smiled at Freya. "If I lose my friend you will not seek **** but you will return to Talia and free my people from Chasin's tyranny." Freya nodded as she watched Arerto unsheath her sword and grab her shield and then turn to face Melusa standing across the square.

Both women approached each other and then in a blur of motion steel could be heard impacting steel clanging loudly as both women exchange blows and blocking each other. Melusa swung high bringing her sword down aiming for Arert's right shoulder but Arerto raised her wooden shield and blocked the thrust. Having blocked Arerto swung her sword aiming for Melusa's thigh but she sidestepped avoiding the blow and again steel vs steel filled the air with the clash of metal. Both women were sweating and grunting as they each sought an advantage and it was at this time Arerto's prolonged **** that started to slow her down. Melusa seeing this charged forward and instead of raising her sword, she body-checked Arerto before she could raise her sword. This charge knocked Arerto to the ground winding her Melusa took this chance to bring down her sword but Arerto managed to roll and deflect Melusa's sword with her own.

The fight went on and one thing was true Arerto was getting slower as the minutes passed by but Melusa's one weakness was her overconfidence and Arerto watched for an opening. It soon came as Melusa loosened her grip on her sword for just a minute and Arerto struck with her sword knocking Melusa's from her hand. Arerto at the same time had circled behind her and kicked behind Melusa's knee forcing her to the ground. With good training and a swift movement, Arerto's sword came round and Melusa felt the cold steel on her throat she knew just one movement and her throat would be slit. "Do you yield Melusa" Melusa nodded and gasp her surrender. Arerto removed her sword from Melusa's neck "Remember I said you would die well I changed my mind. You will be taken to the dungeon and see what my last weeks have been like." Just then a woman walked over and she Kneeled before Arerto.

"You have drafted our leader she is no longer our leader. We will now follow you Queen Arerto as your loyal subjects." Arerto gently used her hand to raise the woman's head" Rise you are now the new leader of HeaHel what is your name?" The woman stood on shaky legs and said her name was Agnetia. "Well, Agnetia as I said you are the new leader so rule wisely and fairly but do not take any dissent." Arerto then announced to the crowd that Agnetia was the new leader and she should be obeyed. Arerto turned when she heard a voice "Hello sister it is good to see you alive" Arerto smiled and rushed to Karleen holding back her tears as it was not good for a queen to be seen crying. The group retired to Melusa's former chambers and shared the events of the last few weeks. Meanwhile, Melusa was stripped and taken to the dungeon along with anyone who still supported her were also stripped and put in the cells.
