Thinking quickly, you toss his ruined cloak at him to distract him, then come towards his sword side, knock it aside, and throw some pocket lint into his face. He drops his sword and coveres his eyes. He is at your mercy. You bring your sword up to strike him down, but before you can, he recovers, points his metal tube at you, and suddenly, many things happen at once.
You hear a deafening bang that makes your ears ring, and you find yourself falling towards the ground, you legs for some reason couldn't hold you up anymore. You try to stand up, and push yourself into a sitting position, but that is when the pain hits you. It was like nothing you had ever felt. A sharp, grueling pain right in your gut. You look down and see a small, circular hole straight through both sides of your armor, and blood was pouring out of the gaps. You gasp as you realize that the metal tube had somehow punched a clean hole straight through you. You bend over, and cough up some blood in your helmet. You consider just giving in and letting the pain. You vision starts to lose color, and fade to black. The pain subsides as you lose consciousness. You think of your family one last time... and you...
No.
You force yourself to wake up. The pain comes rolling back like the tide of an ocean, and your vision goes from black to a reddish hue. You don't have much time, but you will save the people you love. Sir Kenneth, the king and queen, The people of Dalisia, the other honorable knights, and most of all, you wife and children. You lift your head up and see King Barstrad looking down at you with a smug face. He picks up your sword from the ground where you dropped it, and begins to speak. "Seriously, get with the times. Never seen one of these before? Well, I'm sure you're dying to know what it is. With a bit of contained fire, a small iron ball can be tossed at unfathomable speeds, going right through anything. Now that you're gonna die, I suppose I can tell you how pitiful the town's defense will be. I have more of these, and they are even bigger. They will smash right through any wall, and your people will flee once they see you die, and their defenses crushed. I will finally control the world, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Now, do you want me to kill you now, or let you die slowly?" He raised your sword up. You were losing sight around the edges, and you could no longer feel your legs. But your arms were still working. You have no weapons. What will you do with your final moments.
