Silver Creek a court held in ashes

short but fading here :)

Deserved to lose? Going to lose? Leonidas took issue with the assumptions being thrown at him. "You speak as if you can see the future as well as you have seen the past. You are not a God, Dysis. You don't know anything." The warrior spit blood mere inches from the woman in a show of further defiance. He had underestimated her, but would never relinquish this nor would he ever make the same mistake again. Beaten and blood soaked, the soldier knew he was lucky that the Gods favored him so much so that they allowed him a respite. 

Golden eyes stayed steadily fastened to the demon as she drifted out of sight, blood splatters trailing behind her leading into the shadows of the surrounding forest. And though he watched Dysis first and foremost out of caution, he stared after her out of primal desire. A true Spartan of a woman.
