No Man's Tale

Drake

Drake was sweating. He didn't know what to do! All he had was his shiv, which was already blunt, and his chain, which probably won't do much against a brute, with a machete in hand.
"Drake, what a pleasant surprise" The brute said, smiling coldly "I heard of you from the neighbors. They say you're a pretty 'sneaky' thief" He air quoted.
"What neighbor?" Drake asked, trying to keep his cool, as he held his chain.
"You'll know, if you don't die that is" He said as he raised his machete. Good for him, Drake was very good with a chain. He grappled it at the machete, and yanked it, causing it to twirl to his direction. It swung about an inch away from him. Though he was terrified, he mustered his courage. He was never caught before! Yet now, here he was, facing a brute. This might be his last day on earth... No more Tofu Burgers.
"You'll pay for that" He said as he tried to punch, but Drake caught it with his chain. He twirled it with force, causing the brute's arm to do the same. Then, he dropkicked him, and yanked the chain at the same time, launching the man towards the opposite side. While he was stunned, drake closed the door, and tied the lock with his chain, buying some time for him. If the other guards weren't alerted, he might have a chance...
He ran up the opposite stairs, lowering his head. When he got up, he saw about 6 armed soldiers, each carrying a 5 foot long sword. Now he panicked. All he had was his blunt shiv, against six buff soldiers with swords. Though he had an advantage. He was quick, since he only wore sandals, and he didn't carry anything, unlike the men who had armor and 5 foot long swords. But, instead, he went back down the stairs, only to see that the brute broke the door with his machete. He forgot that he launched his machete in there too. "Damn it" He muttered.
"Sneaky trick" The man said, crunching his knuckles "Now, you have no where to run".
As much as he hated it, he was right. If he went up, he would get gored by the swords of the soldiers. If he challenged the brute, he would probably be hacked to bits. He decided to take a risk. He ran towards the brute, who swung his sword at him. At the same time, he slid, avoiding grooves of the machete. Quickly, he ran towards the stairs, and ran out of the door.
He went down the first floor, and he saw his life flash before him. 10 soldiers were lined in a horizontal manner, each carrying a shield. Behind them, a ballista was cocked, and ready. He had to act fast, otherwise, the crazy chef might catch up. Using his skills, he ran on the walls. An arrow has just impaled the wall, inches away from him. He jumpec out of a window, barely escaping. He ran, volleys of arrow whizzed past him, until one caught him on the leg.
