The break was finally over, and Will stood from his resting spot. As he was walking back inside the arena, he noticed Jonathan walk into the arena. It looked as if him and Will would be the first to joust. Gritting his teeth, he put his helmet back on and looked at the favor on his lance for encouragement. Elessar trotted over towards him, and motioned for him to mount her. Will took one last look around, and noticed the lady that gave him the favor. Slightly, he smiled and mounted Elessar. They rode to the opposite side of the arena, across from where Jonathan stood, confidently sitting upon his horse. Closing his eyes for a brief second, Will gripped his lance harder, and the announcer started the countdown.<br/><br/>5... Tension started to build within the crowd and within the contestants, this was a matchup they've been waiting for. Royalty versus a farm boy. The great Jonathan with a huge win streak under his belt, and an underdog who barely managed to survive the first round.<br/>4...<br/>3...<br/>2...<br/>1. On that note, the two charged at each other, lances held high. Will attempted to aim his lance at Jonathan's shoulder, but as he saw Jonathan coming at him, Will was startled and missed. Jonathan barely missed him, though, and Will wasn't sure if he would hit the next time. Shaking his head, Will circled Elessar back around and charged back at Jonathan. Jonathan charged back at Will, looking for a low attack. Will, on the other hand, leaned forward and aimed for the shoulder once more. This time, he would not be distracted. The two neared each other, and the cheering of the spectators stopped. From Will's perspective, his heart beat was the only thing he could hear. Jonathan and Will collided. Everything was a blur to Will, and he felt himself moving in the saddle. A collective gasp could be heard from the crowd. Was it Jonathan or Will himself that fell? No one could tell, the clash caused a mix up between the knights. One knight rode a horse, the other was on the ground. Their favors could not be seen. After a moment of suspense, the knight on the ground rolled off his lance, revealing Samantha's favor.
