Last Ditch Effort

“Any last tricks, sir knight?” The villain devilishly smirks, pointing his staff at his opponent.

The knight is out of options. This sorcerer is too powerful, and there are no more health potions left to use. But that doesn’t mean he is out of potions entirely. “Just this one.” He grins arrogantly, pulling out a small vial containing a glowing yellow brew.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” The sorcerer cautiously steps back. “Where did you get that?”

The knight is surprised by the villain’s reaction. “Um, I’m not sure. It was a vial I found in a room underground.”

The sorcerer gasps, clutching his staff close to him. “You went through my lab? And stole from it?”

“I-I guess?” The knight sweats. Now he just feels bad for supposedly “stealing.” “Anyways, it’s glowing and some sort of a brew, so it must be able to defeat you!”

“I mean…” The sorcerer hesitates. “You’re not wrong, but it certainly won’t give you the results you expect.”

The knight shrugs. “Works for me.”
