Bated Breath

Fissa and Techel were twins born to the house Pelgen around the beginning of that fifth age. Unable to decide how to handle firstborn twins, their father elected to simply raising both of them as heirs and the rest of the Pelgen family waited with bated breath to see who would become their Baron or Baronessa.
Upon the death of their father, Techel rushed to assume the title while Fissa mysteriously vanished in the night. After many seasons of travelling, Fissa returned to the Pelgen estate to discover the appaling state that her brother had made of it as Baron and demanded a duel for the title as was her right. She presented a sword handle and claimed that she'd be able to beat her brother with only the handle as her weapon. Drunk on his own power, Techel accepted the duel without question and charged at his sister with his massive greatcrescent.
Fissa calmly closed her eyes and took a few slow and steady breaths. When Techel was just steps away, she breathed in one last time and held it. Immediately a long sharp rapier blade shot up from out of the handle and with a well placed thrust, was stuck straight through Techel's heart. Fissa slowly breathed out that the blade retracted once more.
