As soon as I have reached up to the top of the tower. Fatigue sets in I can feel my heart beating fast in my chest as I put my hand over it, I start panting.
Note: panting is a technique which is breathing in and out in a slightly increased speed. It is usually done to prevent the lactic acid that built up inside the body from killing the person due to more oxygen being taken into the body known as oxygen dept,

A/n: that explanation was gotten from biology, hope it doesn't bore you readers.

"Who is here". I asked rather in confusionas well as in shock widening my eyes,eyebrow raised up shortly before cocking an eyebrow lifting my upper lip showing part of my teeth, I was grinning at him.

"Those soldier trying to kill us". He says with no changes in the tone of his voice.

"Is that what he was referring to ". I say internally in my thoughts. I closely noticed how not exhausted he was, I wanted to ask how he got here fast how is he not exhausted. He stands up straight with his unchanging looks thoroughly look at him but he seems to keep a straight face looking in the distance as if something troubles him something strange in me is sceptical about him, but I will interrogate him later cause

"Do you know what is happening". I ask him furrowing down my eyebrows, my voice deepens indicating I am serious but he just keeps silent looking the other way.

I hear steps coming up from below, I know I want to inspect him some more but for now my major cocern is those assassins. I could see two people coming up the stairs. They both are tall about 6 feet. The black shirt they are wearing seemed skin tight revealing that they are muscular with a broad chest. They have steel claws on their hands attached their black gloves they were wearing. They had masks covering their lips down I could see only their eyes and a little portion of their skin, one with brown orbs and brown skin while the other on the left with blue orbs and light fair skin.

Unexpectedly, a shattering noise is heard behind me, broken pieces of glass are scattered across the floor particularly some falling on few inches before reaching me when I shifted my pupils slightly seeing a bit of what happened, an assassin came onto my blind spot and the assassins in front charged at me I take two steps back draw out my sword dodged the first attack blocked the other strike with my sword while moving forward still sword clashing with my opponent vibrating noise sounding out, the assassin makes an attack where his claw pointed and heading for the area below my belt his other clawed hand was pulled back his legs spread out one slightly bent the other was slanted. I used my sword to strike counterclockwise meeting his' putting his arm over my shoulder after turning around counterclockwise separated my legs planting my legs firmly on the ground to get a better grasp of him, unbalanced him using force in a certain direction tossing him further across the area.

I turn around face front to the accomplice of the other one. I strike at him jerking my knee in the process he retaliates by blocking it, then attempts an attack I dodged it then our two weapons collided clashing into one another at the same time moving across the area. Our swords clash again but this time I drove him back against the wall asking him who sent the two of them and does he want anything to do with me if so what is it. I gave him a stern serious look. He does not answer and kicks me driving me back, he then proceeds to strike I block it despite being a bit of guard. He pulls closer and attacks me with a series of kicks then proceeds to stab, the first strike cuts my clothing slips my legs falling me to the ground then he gets me injured with a strike, blood dripping from the cut. The feeling of pain felt like shock travelling through my whole body for a while causing me to shortly yell, my leg felt heavy I could barely move for the time being. I stutter looking around and figuring out what to do. I see a length of rope under his leg wrapped it around his hand maneuvered until I sliced a cut on his neck making him bleed which I also noticed when I saw that he was in a puddle of blood.
