"Good… good!" Cedric said, his voice dripping with an eerie mix of satisfaction and hidden madness. "I've been waiting for this moment... brother. Waiting for so long to fight you—really fight you."

Aurelius's expression didn't waver, though his grip on his sword tightened. "Is that so?" he asked, his voice calm but edged with challenge.
