Chapter 45 - The Showdown of Witts: Jaymir Vs Zanarthian!

Jaymir observed both of the fights, sitting down a nearby log, studying the way O'garth and Felix won their fights. He was so engulfed in his friend's battle that he didn't realize that one of the elves was missing, let alone right behind him. The Elven rogue's dagger was upon Jaymir's throat, ready to easily end it if he moved, yet the Elven rogue was distracted for a moment and relieved his presence as he saw his master being captured, mumbling, "master, no..."

Suddenly, Jaymir quickly looked behind him, elbowing the weapon away from him, and he quickly moved away, with a look of shock, as the Elven rogue startled him. The elven Rogue sighed, and his head lowered in frustration at himself as he said, shaking his head with his hand on his forehead, "Geez, Zanarthian, did you drop your guard?" his eyes locked upon Jaymir as he says, "no matter, you won't get a second chance!" as he slowly strolled towards Jaymir, before casting another spell to disappear within the shadows. 

However, before Zanarthian blended into the shadows again, Jaymir caught a glimpse of him, which Zanarthian had studded leather chest armor, studded leather legging armor, with studded leather shoulder pads, a holster for his daggers on his waist, yet a belt with poison vails on his chest. Zanarthian wore a hood that concealed his face, yet his eyes were hazel, and his hair slightly showed, showing his braided tails on both sides of his hood.

Jaymir's eyes widen in fear, and he steps back, but he takes a deep breath, calming his nerves. Jaymir took on a stance, putting his hand on his knife, gripping it tightly. Jaymir's eyes shift in different directions, as if he were hearing his surroundings. Zanarthian sneaked around Jaymir as if he were a predator sizing up his prey. What Zanarthian did realize Jaymir heard his feet suffling leaves and branches on the ground. Zanarthian says to himself, "This is too easy." 

Then he lunged at Jaymir, yet Jaymir parried his attack, and both their weapons sparked together as Jaymir held off Zanarthian's attack. He grabbed his wrist and pushed it to the side, causing Zanarthian to lose his balance, yet he quickly regained his balance and looked back in shock, then his shocked expression turned into a smirk as he said in a sinister tone, "Oh, this is going to be fun!"

Zanarthian suddenly disappears and then reappears behind Jaymir, putting him in a headlock. He whispers in Jaymir's ear, "It's been a while since I used all my magic. Please keep this entertaining." As he cackles and throws Jaymir on the ground. Jaymir gasps for air as he hits the ground hard, and Zanarthian climbs on his back and holds him down.

O'garth and Felix both call out Jaymir's name, and they were about to step in to help him, until Zanarthian puts his dagger's tip to Jaymir's throat and he raises his finger and wiggles it while saying, "hold it! one more move and I end this life so quickly you'll have to blink twice." O'garth and Felix halted as Zanarthian added while tilting his head to them, "Let me have my fun, I won't hurt him too much. Let's say he has potential."

Jaymir stabs Zanarthian in the leg and gets up and runs away from Zanarthian, yet Zanarthian groans in pain, laughs it off, and removes the knife from his leg and slowly limps towards Jaymir. Despite the whole fight, O'garth, Felix, and Jaymir didn't realize Greemo was watching the thing, and he couldn't take it anymore; he couldn't take the suffering of Jaymir, Greemo was annoyed that someone else was making Jaymir's life miserable. 

Finally, Greemo calls out Jaymir's name and states, "Teach these thieves a lesson, Jaymir!" as he throws his last resort gadget towards Jaymir. Jaymir caught the gadget, and he knew what it was, a one-shot one kill blunderbuss, a gun that he only saw in his world. Jaymir aimed it at Zanarthian, which Zanarthian laughed in mockery, not knowing exactly what this device was, but he continued limping at Jaymir. Jaymir pulled the trigger, and a load explosion formed as a fireball blasted out of the device and killing Zanarthian. Jaymir fell to his knees, while Felix and O'garth's eyes widened in shock and fear at the device, yet Jaymir told them, "It's okay, guys, it's dead now," and he tossed it to the side. He glances at Greemo and nods to him, telling him Thank you. Greemo just lifts his nose and snorts while walking away.
