Taming the Muse

Here's part two of the final fight scene - continued from yesterday's chapter.  So if you didn't read a chapter yesterday, this one is going to make no sense at all.  You can read it here: Chapter Forty-Five It's all down hill from here, guys!

Enjoy!

Prompt Notes: Inspiration for this chapter taken from tamingthemuse prompt #351: Parched

I have awful timing.  This week is the prompt I chose, and I'm not using the prompt in anything close to the way I envisioned, because I need to get this post out as close as possible to last week's, since the two belong together - two parts to one fight scene.  Yeah, I use the prompt, but I wish I'd had a chance to do more with it.
