Sheltered in his house, Yaropolk felt a sense of calm at last. He'd not been attacked in quite a while, it seemed. He'd barred the doors for the night, as usual. He sat in the corner cross-legged, and rested with his back to the wall. He closed his eyes. A thunderous cracking sound shot his eyes wide open. The door had been splintered in half, from top right to the bottom left. Yaropolk panicked for a second, scanning about, but realizing the only exit lay before him, filled by a large human wielding an enormous axe. "You have no place in my world," the man claimed. "I will rid it of all the foul creatures which have infested it."

He quickly rushed forward and swung his mighty axe in a left-swinging arc. Yaropolk managed to slide under it, and attempted to maneuver around his attacker. But the man turned on a heel and swung his axe down, catching Yaropolk's ankle and smashing it to splinters. Yaropolk planted to the ground in agony, screaming in pain. The man looked down at the doomed victim, and held his axe high for a final blow.

But he shifted his eyes away, and rolled to the left as a stream of fire entered in through the vacant doorway. A roaring flame caught the back wall of the residence, and erupted in a magnificent blaze. The man immediately hurtled himself at the front wall, and tore a hole through it with his axe and tumbled out. He gathered himself up to see a tall, ominous individual cloaked in an aura of fire glancing almost lazily over in his direction. They stared at each other for a few seconds, to the sound of the inferno steadily encroaching on the rest of the house. As the house collapsed under a weak frame, the man roared with fury that shook the remaining frame. He charged the dark attacker, axe held aloft. The attack was met with its opponents blade, drawn so fast the man couldn't see it done. The blade sliced straight through the haft of the axe, letting the head fall lamely to the ground. The man staggered back in shock.

"How? This... this isn't possible! You cannot defeat me! This land is mine, not the realm of godly spirits or demonic agents! Men shall know their own realm, and rule it by their own providence!"

"Hah," the dark attacker scoffed. "Can't you see the truth, even when it's right before your eyes? Men let themselves fall to a usurper. You deserve whatever fate befalls you. You can't defeat me. You can't even hurt me." As he finished his sentence, he immediately launched himself at the man, who was too slow to react and found the dark attacker behind him, one hand holding his left arm, the other with a black blade held to his throat. The heat from the aura was intense, but the man cared not. "Now, bow," the dark attacker commanded. The man scowled and held his ground. "I said, bow!" he commanded again, this time delivering a kick the back of the man's knee, causing his legs to buckle. "Now, no worries," he said with a small wink. "I'll see you soon." With that, he jerked his wrist and severed GeneralHankerchief's head cleanly.
