Clash is another small companion piece for A Call To Arms, and will likely be the final instalment until my next project is completely finalised. Taking place later in the overall chronology of the series, it features our first story within the dunes of Dahabi, with Lord Crispin Ellery Labourt and Baroness Serra Celestia Anhera having successfully negotiated a lucrative business contract with a dwarven merchant house. As Crispin walks through town with his betrothed to see what the bustling town around them has to offer, to Serra's constant disinterest, the two come across an amphitheater being used for basic combat demonstrations. Pressed by Crispin to showcase the might of the Anhera name, Serra finds herself squaring off against an elven fighter who proves a dangerous fighter himself.
