1 Attempted assassination
Chapter 1 attempted assassination.
I ascend the cliff, loose rocks falling into the stagnant water beneath me at each new handhold. Sweat covers my body and drips into my eyes, and the overhead sun seems hotter by the minute. At the top, i find an outcropping leading to an eerie cave. I pause to catch my breath, and my nerves. I peer over at my impish boggart.
I smile reassuringly . I listen carefully for signs of movement, but the cave appears devoid of life. The only sound is water falling from its jagged stalactites. Retrieving a candle, lighters,from my bag, I strike the lighter and ignite the candle.
I hold it above my head to illuminate the scene before me, adjusting the daggers on ends of my rifles,and stride forward confidently into the dangers that lie within. As i enter the dank cave, a knife flew towards my face!
Frantically diving backward, I narrowly dodge the knife, but trip over a block of stone.The candle flies from my hand as i tumble backward in the darkness. I fall from the outcropping, and Judas leaps lithely from my shoulder with a flare of his wings. I was left to dive into the water below with a massive splash. My momentum carries me to the bottom, where loose mud obscures my vision. I kick off from the base of the pond and reach the surface, gasping for air.
Wiping the disgusting residue from my eyes, instinct causes me to dive to the side. I just barely evade a bullet as it pierces the water beside me with a splash. Several more bullet rain down upon me from the cliff above. It takes all the focus and strength I have to dodge their glistening deadly tips.
I finally make it to the bank of the pond, the cold water pulling at my garments as i stagger onto land. My treacherous opponent, meanwhile, is leaping from the cliff with a throaty roar. I dives just in time to confront the flashing dagger towards my head. A deadly mercenary attack me.
I barely manage to raise my long blade defensively across my chest when his blade strikes my weapon, sending splinters flying. The momentum of the assailant's descent knocks me down, leaving me breathless and pinned beneath him. He cackles, raising his large blade for the final blow.
The strong odor of perspiration mixed with alcohol roll over me, making me to vomit and gag. Quickly arching my back, i trap his elbow with my arms and use my legs to flip myself onto my stomach. My speed takes him by surprise, and i twist away, staggering to my feet.
The Mercenary leaps up, drawing a rusty dagger from his belt. I was faster than the mercenary ,I finished...
