Walking into her room Evangeline noticed a folded piece of paper on her bed, opening it she read:
'Meet me in the courtyard at sunset, signed Maelg'
'Sounds romantic, not at all like Maleg', she wondered to herself.

Maelg is in the courtyard, just before sunset, training amongst his men. Three men have him surrounded, Maelg is comfortably rotating within the center of the three, his short sword weaving circles, he is in a crouched position like a cat ready to pounce on any sign of mistake, and there is one.
One of the soldiers adjusts his grip on his sword and in that instant Maelg whirls into action concentrating on the poor soldier with strike after strike until he bears the man down to the ground. With the man beaten he whips around to face the other two. Deciding that the odds of two to one would be better if they attacked simultaneously, they charge in swinging their swords trying to find an opening in Maelgs defence. Maelg starts to move backwards under the assailance of the two, but always careful to circle as to give one a disadvantage. As the closer soldier over-extends, Maelg siezes the opportunity to plant a carefully placed kick into the mans ribs, crumpling him instantly. As the second soldier stumbles over his fallen comrade, Maelg pulls him past spins, and smacks the unwitting soldier with the flat of his sword across his behind.
"Terrible! How am I meant to get better when I have no-one decent to train against!"
Maelg turns to see Evangeline entering the courtyard, and he glances at the sky,
"Well it is sunset"
"Eva, my dear. I had planned for us to spend some time together quietly up on the walls for a meal. If I could get that damn Falcion off there, we would have had some privacy too. Unfortunately, the mood has left me as I have been training with these dolts and they have done nothing but frustrate me."
Maelgs eyes light up as he notices Evangeline is still wearing her sword.
"Milady," and Maelg sketches a bow " Would you do me the honour of a duel. I crave a challenge."

"Milady, would you do me the honour of a duel. I crave a challenge."
Evangeline arches her eyebrows, "Where is Sir Magnus?", pausing momentarily she adds, "Oh, of course, you said you wanted a challenge."
Maelg nodds, "Besides, last I heard he was still running from the fairies"
Pulling her sword Evangeline faces her husband, "Okay... it's time we settled this anyway. I'll accept your duel"

"Okay... it's time we settled this anyway. I'll accept your duel"
A grin splits Maelgs face.
"Thankyou"
Maelg stands slightly side-on relaxed and at ease, he inclines his head to signal to Evangeline he is ready. Evangeline takes up her ready position. At once Maelg attempts to sieze the advantage by trying to overrun Evangeline in a quick succession of blows. Much to his surprise his blows are met just as aggresively, and he finds himself parrying blows as much as making them himself. As the to and fro continues for several minutes, with neither party wishing to back down, sweat starts to drip from both oppenents, with Evangeline glistening beautifully in the sunset. Finally Maelg manages a brief nick on Evangelines off arm a fraction of a second before she manages to give Maelg a nasty slice on his sword arm.
"Well met my love. It seems I have managed to best you this time. I thank you for the challenge it has been invigorating. Shall we dine? It looks as though Falcion has left his post on the wall."
