david and goliath

Lillith ducked and let Artorias sail right over her and head towards the boundary of the ring. The young girl held her breath as she watched him careen towards the her victory, but to her disappointment he managed to gather his feet beneath him and he was able to stop right before he went over. Lil closed her eyes in defeat as she realized her best efforts weren’t enough. Not that she really had any hope of winning to begin with but she had gone and gotten her hopes up and now that they were dashed she felt the effects ten fold.

Opening her ruby gaze back to Artorias she found her feet and bowed her head in humble defeat. She took in a deep breath, feeling the effects of her efforts now. Her sides rose and fell heavily as she struggled to get enough oxygen. Her garnet gaze was staring at the ground as her head began to swim, her focus grew a bit hazy but she stayed on her paws. ”You win… Artorias.” She breathed her concession as her body began to shake with effort just to remain upright.
