And All Things Will End

You swiftly draw your blade, and when he moves into range you strike at him with a practiced swing. However, he anticipates your swing and swings heavily at your non-dominant side. Your blade cuts deep, but so does his. He gurgles blood, and falls onto the ground with a satisfied smile. You manage a few steps, desperately plugging at your side as you attempt to stifle the blood flow, before you fall to your knees.

As you die, you decide that you must rethink your strategy when fighting enemies with no self-preservation instinct. Of course, you won't be able to put this newfound idea into practice.

Your death is drawn out, giving you plenty of time to think of all of the numerous ways you could have avoided this.
