Fred roared in anger and sucker-punched Diana, knocking her out. Then he
drew his sword and lunged at Wayndaimlyon to slash him off his horse. The
dark knight responded with surprising speed as Fred approached, suddenly
drawing steel to deflect Fred's blow and smack him in the head with the
hilt on the backswing. Wayndaimlyon's horse reared up and Fred slashed
wildly, cutting the creature down. Both horse and rider fell as Fred
stumbled backward, his head ringing. The doors suddenly burst and screaming nightmarish warriors began to bray at Fred at the gates, shaking their blades of darkness in the air. Imelda screamed. Wayndaimlyon rose as Fred charged at him again, only to have his sword knocked out of his hand and be thrown across the floor by an invisible force. Fred lay choking as the dark knight turned to face Exotica. But she was nothing like seconds ago, and only stared aimlessly into the distance, not speaking or moving. "You cannot take her," Fred groaned, rising to his feet and charging again. "She belongs to this world, not yours!" Upon drawing close to the dark knight Fred drew his dagger and slashed it at his face, knocking off his helmet, even as Wayndaimlyon's sword scythed across Fred's shoulder. As Fred fell, the dark knight and his hordes abruptly froze in mid-motion and disappeared. Fred glanced at his wound and realized it was severe, an extremely painful cut across his left shoulder and chest that was giving off noxious dark fumes. Perhaps letting himself get hit with an undead blade had not been a good idea. There was a thump and Fred looked over to see Exotica collapsing to the ground, where she lay still. "Dammit!" Fred cursed. Diana was stirring awake. "What happened?" she asked as she got up. "Fred? Why are you laying on the floor?"
