Chapter 4-Survival
“ Are you deaf!?, I said How did you find me!?” I slowly responded. “The village of Danirie was attacked Yetoro and Leo sent me to find you and take you somewhere safe” “ And how can I be sure your not a Setorian sent here to kill me?” She seemed very distrustful, But I guess your murder being plotted long before your even born could do that to a person. “ Well..I don’t really know..Leo didn’t say much, hmm…. Oh!, Your eyes turn red in the moonlight!” “ That’s basic knowledge of the prophecy hardly enough for me to trust you.” I breathed a heavy sigh and ran my fingers through my hair, trying to think of something to convince her I was trustworthy. “ Well..I knew your name was Marsa and the town you lived in, if the Setorians had that information don’t you think they would’ve come after you by now?” “..I suppose so but that doesn’t mean im going to trust you with my life!”
Marsa stared at the ground for a few seconds, then as her eyes met mine they suddenly widened. “ Behind you!” She yelled. I quickly Unsheathed the sword Leo had given me and spun around. A man in all black clothes, presumably a Setorian assassin, Was running toward me and quickly. I pushed Marsa back and ducked as he made a horizontal slice missing my head only slightly. Not missing my opportunity I used a powerful vertical slice to disarm the assassin. I then drove my forearm into the throat into his assassin, not giving him a chance to regain his balance I impaled the assassin just below the ribs, After pushing in the blade in abit deeper I brought the blade up a full 12 inches before retracting it. The assassin was dead before he hit the ground.
Marsa stood up and made a sweeping motion on her clothes, as if removing dust from them. “ I see you know your way around a weapon.” “ You learn a few things traveling” I calmly replied. I quickly realized the danger we were in. “ Marsa, the Setorians have obviously found us we need to get out of here now”. She nodded her head in agreement. We started to step out of the alley when Marsa pulled me back. “ Do you see those men In the black and red uniforms?” “ yeah what about them”. Marsa sighed heavily “ I see Leo didn’t teach you much, That’s the Setorian uniform we’ll have to avoid them at all costs. “ Trust me those fools are not your primary concern” I turned to see a man standing behind us. It was the man in the sweeping cloak form the crossroads. “Marsa get behind me!” I raised my blade to eye level. I felt a strong presence emanating from the Man. At this point I was not sure of my survival.
Chap 5 coming soon
