"I will fucking kill you!" growled Valkyrie and raised the greatsword over her head in an attempt to bring it down on Sturkas' skull.

However, his strong hand managed to grab her arm before she was halfway down, while his other hand clutched tightly and travelled straight forward agains her skull, breaking her jaw.

The pain was bad. She felt it as if the entire world had stopped for a moment, just to let her feel how painful the blow was. She felt her jaws dislocate and how her very teeths rattled in the flesh. A spurt of blood left the corner of her mouth as she tried desperatly to maintain focus. She couldn't be allowed to lose her concentration for one moment, yet she had...

As she turned her head towards him again, she was unaware of a second blow. This time it came straight towards her face. The gauntlet slammed her face in with such brute force that she could feel the very insides of her head shake loose. She was pretty sure he had broken her nose as well, but she couldn't just stop and find out.

She tumbled backwards on unsteady legs. Her face was bloodied and made it hard for her to see. Though she did notice another incoming attack from Wolf's Bane and blocked it clumsily with Frostbite. She was so disoriented that every swing of her sword felt as heavy as lifting an entire mountain.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain coming from the side of her abdomen. She closed her eyes and when she opened them again she realised that Wolf's Bane had buried its head deep inside her armor and waist. There was a lot of commotion coming from the spectators. Some were crying out in terror upon realising that the Matriarch had been dealt a blow, which would probably mean a victory for Sturkas.

"Time to visit your family, wolf girl!" snorted Sturkas through his helmet and pulled out his axe forcefully in order to deal the final blow.

That's when Valkyrie painfully spinned around his blow, despite bleeding all over the place, she placed the edge of Frostbite straight above his achilles tendon and cut as hard as she could as she pulled the blade along with her.

Sturkas screamed in pain as he fell down on one knee, grunting inside his helmet and clutching at his lame leg, while Valkyrie staggered around to face him again. This time she rammed the tip of the blade inside his shoulder.

He groaned in pain and fumbled to take off his helmet so that he could breathe easier. "You fucking cunt", he groaned. "I swear I will..."

Valkyrie twitched the blade around in his wound. "Say what I want to hear! Confess to your crimes and I will end you quickly!"

Sturkas lowered his head. Blood ran out over his lips. He looked as if he was about to say something, but then again maybe not...

"SAY IT!" repeated Valkyrie and shoved her blade even further into his wound while she clutched at her own.

The pain dealt to him was enough for him to bring up the greataxe in one sudden and forceful move and bury its head straight across the breast of Valkyrie's armor.

Her eyes shot wide-open as she felt her rib cage shatter from the force of the strike.

"I killed them all!" roared Sturkas in spite and triumph when he saw her expression of indescribable pain and the realisation that she probably had been dealt a lethal blow. "And I would do it again if it means that every last one of you werewolf monsters left the face of Nirn! I killed them all with a smile on my lips! Bitvarg the Elder! Ulftand! Ylva! Your pathetic whore of a mother Hildi! Your weak brothers Varg and Rigvar!"

He scoffed and grunted in pain as he struggled to rise up on his other leg. "I even personally killed and flayed that scared little brother of yours, Hemming! That fucking little pup made the most excellent rug for the storage!"

Valkyrie's blood rushed up to her head, but most of it were pumping out of her wounds. The axe was still buried straight across her chest and the gaping wound at her side wouldn't stop bleeding. Yet it wasn't the physical pained which troubled her, it was the fact that he was confessing... with a smile on his meaty lips!

''The bastard is smiling! ''she reflected. The fucking bastard is smiling!

"Patriarch Sturkas Cave-Bear", she mumbled as she coughed blood and staggered back a few steps. The weight of Frostbite felt almost unbearable in her hands.

"Yeah?" he chuckled and approached her slowly, still smiling. "What is it? Any last words you would like to share?"

Her eyes burned with a released rage as Frostbite suddenly flew up in a steady grip in her hands. She had managed to contain just enough energy...

"I HEREBY CONDEMN YOU TO DEATH!"

She rammed the entire blade and edge of Frostbite through Sturkas Cave-Bears surprised expression when he in his last moments realised what she was about to do.

"THERE!" she roared and kept shoving the blade through the man's skull until it burst out on the other side in a cascade of blood spurts and brain tissue. "CRAM ON IT UNTIL YOU FUCKING DIE!" she shouted. "DIE! DIE! DIE! I FUCKING HATE YOU! DIE AND BURN IN HELL!"

A few guttural noises left the dead Patriarch's broken voice as he stumbled backwards. The hilt of the greatsword had been rammed all the way in. Valkyrie herself was in no condition however to gloat over the fact that her family had been avenged in the stroke of a single blow. She remembered that when she looked down upon her own chest and realised that there was a giant axe buried there. She would have removed it if she had strength, and the consciousness to withstand the pain it would cause her. She chose to refrain from it.

Instead she slowly stumbled backwards in the opposite direction as Sturkas did, each of them with the other's weapon buried inside them somehow. There wasn't a single sound to be heard from the spectators. It was completely quiet. Then Sturkas' body hit the sand of the fighting pit hard with a loud thud. People would have cheered if they hadn't been aware of the fact that in the same moment Sturkas had stopped moving, Valkyrie had collapsed on her back as well. With a giant greataxe potruding from her chest...
