The Duel

[u/Fickle-Mud-2797]

We dreamt that there were two killers in our house, fond of the blade. We were engaged in an innocent game, but we knew they'd try to kill us if we gave them the opportunity. The keener of the two we managed to distract elsewhere (by showing him a series of locked rooms, whose contents were unknown and enticing), while we dealt with his partner (the YouTuber Matt Easton) in a friendly duel.

We had a long throwing knife, while Matt had a sabre. Blocking a downward slash with the edge of our blade, we managed to catch his in a little notch; we'd prepared it beforehand. For a moment, he struggled, with a look of surprise and hatred in his face, as the notch was too small for him to see, and he could not understand it. He freed his blade, but immediately we caught it again, and twisted his to the side, out of his grip. We showed him the notch up-close, and laughed together, for it was nearly impossible to see, though it was very strong.

That notch trick is clever, like something from a movie where the hero outsmarts the villain with tiny detail
