Battle on the Holy Plane (Flash Fiction)
A fantasy story of what could have been. A flash fiction contest submission.
Author’s Note: Earlier this year, Silence and Starsong held another flash fiction contest. This story was my entry for that contest.
The skies were grim, darkened by the black feathers of ravens. Upon the Great Rock of the Holy Plane, two warriors stood face-to-face. Multitude of bones scattered about the ground, witnesses to the death battle ahead.
Marked by the skulls adorning his person, The Champion spoke, “Greetings, challenger. Alexandros, The Strongest There Is welcomes you. State your name.”
“My name is Pyros. I am your son.”
