Blueblood sipped his jasmine tea quietly. He was sitting on the famous Golden Throne which out looked the empty throne room, saved for two guards dressed in silver armor.

The king wore a simple white suit with a blue bow tie, black pants, and a red velvet robe. His trusty golden sword was at his side, and so was the sapphire encrusted crown. Too small for his head. 

After finishing off the last of his tea, King Blueblood set his cup down and was about to climb out of his throne, however he was interrupted by one of the guards.

"My king," a pegasus guard said while slowly taking out his bronze sword, "I wish to challenge you."

Blueblood raised an eyebrow, "You know what happens to the looser, right Flash Sentry?" he asked.

The pegasus nodded his head and lifted up his sword. Blueblood chuckled a little as he used his magic to levitated his sword in front of him. 

"It was nice knowing you." Blueblood said slyly before the two clashed swords together.


    
Flash Sentry swung his sword wildly at Blueblood, however the king dodged his opponent's blade and sliced a deep gash into the guard's armor. When Flash took a step back, the king then stabbed his sword at the pegasus' now exposed chest. The golden blade sunk into Flash's chest, causing the pegasus to cry out in pain and crumble to the marble floor. Blood from the wound splashed onto the white marble floor.

With a smile, Blueblood levitated his sword out of the pegasi's chest and lowered the blade against Flash Sentry's exposed neck. However, the pegasi gave a strong kick to Blueblood's right leg. Causing the king take a step back. Then Flash grasped the hilt of his sword tightly and slashed the bronze sword at the unicorn. 

With a smirk, the king blocked the blow with his sword and then used his magic to slam the guard onto the ground. Then Blueblood pointed his blade at Flash's exposed neck.

"Please!" Flash Sentry whimpered, tears beginning to flow down his cheeks.

"Tisk, tisk. You knew what happens to the looser. Yet you tried to beat me in a sword fight." Blueblood whispered, making the blade of his sword dig into the guard's neck. Red blood beginning to trickle out from the wound.

"I-I won't fight you ever again, I promise!" Flash yelled.

"Liar!" Blueblood hissed. Then he used his magic to set his blade on fire before diving the now burning blade right into the guard's flesh. The smell of burning flesh making the king smile.  

Flash Sentry let out one final scream before slamming his head onto the floor, his eyes rolling into the back of his head.

The king separated his sword from the neck of the lifeless pony and looked at the only guard left. 

"Get the servants and tell them to clean up this mess." the unicorn ordered before wiping off the blood from his blade and heading towards the door.  

"Y-yes my king." the guard stuttered before heading out the same door and galloping towards the servants' quarters.  

Once the guard was gone, Blueblood grinned and looked out a window, "Let the games begin." he whispered quietly to himself.
