The Assassin's Story

Chapter Sixteen Leon

Chapter Sixteen

~Sir Tybalt's P.O.V~

I sat on the throne admiring my new crown. I was king. There were only a few problems I have to take care of. Archer, Isabelle, & Princess Edith. Though my demons, witches, and Ogres would get them. I let out a big breath as I smiled. Being King was good. The town's people were being good at the moment. Then we had the other surrounding kingdoms, they were being bad.

"Sir. The King and Queen of Rin are here." Julio said as he bowed to me. Julio was my new servant, in a way. I am only using him because he is a dragon trainer, a warrior, a physic. He was made for greatness. I stood up as he bowed to me again. "That's good." I smiled as he came to my side. We both walked towards where I held meetings with surrounding kingdoms. It was a large stone chamber. We walked through the doors and a king and queen were sitting at the table, they looked scared.

"Goodmornin my dear King John and Queen Anna." I yelled as I sat down at the head of the table. Queen Anna began to breath much faster, as King John held her hand. "We'll comply with what you need. Take the kingdom." King John said as he took in a large breath. I knew I would get my way, sooner or later. "Fine. Guards kill them." I said as I stood up. I could hear Queen Anna gasp. "I thought we had a deal!" King John yelled as he slammed his fist into that table forcing himself to stand. I smiled as I turned around to them.

"The deal never included your life, nor your families." With that I shut the doors to the room as Julio followed me back to the throne room as their cried filled the air. "Do you need anything master." Julio asked as he bowed to me. "Send out the trolls, I fear the demons and witches have failed." I muttered as I looked at the sky. The sun was fully coming up. Day had begun.

~Archer's P.O.V~

Isabelle lunched forward. I groaned, again wrong.

"No no no no no." I said as I took my sword as I used the flat side to move her feet into place. She glared at me. "You're wrong, my footing is right!" She argued. I could hear Emeline and Alexander laugh. I just groaned again. "I have no idea what they taught you at that terrible castle, but one thing is for sure. They taught it wrong." I yelled as I looked down at her. She rolled her eyes.

"Alexander please help." I called to Alexander as I turned to him. He was sitting with Emeline as he shined his bow. "Sorry Archer, I have a women I have to look after." Alexander yelled as Emeline smiled. "Emeline?" I called. She smiled and waved. "Sorry, can't." I turned back to Isabelle. She was tying her hair back and making her dress shorter. She looked interesting.

"Making it easier for myself." She said as she rolled up her sleeves. 'You know it would be easier if you cut off your hair." I stated. She glared up at me as she lunged forward again. "I'm just saying." She kept doing her lunges which were wrong. She just kept doing them wrong. "Archer, we're going to see if there is a town close by." Alexander said as he rode up next to me riding on his horse, Emeline sat behind him. She handed me my weapons. I sighed as I took them . "You have to leave me with her?" "You have with her?" Isabelle mocked as I finished. She rolled her eyes and went back to lunging. "We'll be back soon." Alexander said as he smiled. I cursed upon them in my head as they rode off.

"Now time to see if they really taught you anything." I said as I grabbed the sword from Isabelle and marched forward. She followed, hell Flames even followed.

"This is crazy Archer! Crazy!" She yelled as if she was hysterical. "Just climb the tree." I said calmly as I began to climb it myself. I climbed up to the 3rd branch, not that far from the ground, yet far enough. I stood on the branch and looked at the closet tree, it was pretty close which was another bonus. This is going to work well. I looked down at Isabelle. "Come on." I said as I leaned against the truck of the tree. She took a step back, maybe looking at the tree. If that was really necessary.

"Come on." I said. She stepped up to the tree and grabbed a branch to pull herself up then she jumped back down. She looked so confused. "Give me your sword." I said. She nodded and handed me the sword. She jumped up on the first branch then she got up on the second branch. I held out my hand and she took it. I hoisted her up. When she was balanced on the branch I handed her, her sword.

"Now you watch me, and do what I do." I said. I took a death breath. I looked ahead for a second then I ran along the branch, keeping my balance as I ran. The branch was getting slim. Right before I was at the point of no return, I held my sword in my mouth as I catapulted myself into the air I flew for a few feet, my hands were out as I caught onto a branch on the tree next to the original tree. I held myself with one hand then I used my other to hand to take my sword and swipe at the branch. I hit it then I fell to the ground. I embraced the impact and I stood up looking at Isabelle. She had her mouth wide open.

"Are you crazy?!" She yelled. She shook her head and gripped the tree. I cracked a smile. "Just try it, without the sword first." I called out as I sat on a rock. She took a deep breath and threw her sword to the ground. I hope she doesn't break a bone, because Emeline and Alexander will be very mad at me.

"You can do it." I said. Isabelle nodded and with that she began to run on the tree, she then jumped off. She jumped off too early. I jumped off the rock and ran towards where she was going to land. It was cutting it very slim. I got there right in time. I held out my hands as to where she would land. And when she did.

*Wham!*

"Ahh!" I yelled. I laid on the ground with Isabelle on top of me. She quickly got up. "I knew you were crazy!" She yelled as she marched off towards her sword. Everything stung a bit now. I sat up as I rubbed the dirt off of my clothes. "OWWWW!" Isabelle yelling interrupted myself time. I jumped up and looked at Isabelle. She was holding her arm, as she stood against the tree. I held my sword. "Isabelle?" I yelled as I walked towards her. Suddenly I heard a loud hissing sound. "Snake." She said, on the verge of tears.

I saw the snake and instantly I sliced, with that it became headless. I ran over to Isabelle. "Let me see your hand." I said. She shook her head as she handed over her hand. It was terrible looking. The bite was on the back of her hand, right above the wrist. It was bleeding badly too. I let of her hand then I took my shirt, I ripped off my sleeve. I took Isabelle's hand and I tied up her hand. "It hurts so much." She whispered as she whipped her eyes of tears.

"Don't worry it's not poisonous." I said as wrapped it once. "How do you know." She asked, she was trying very hard to hold back tears. "Well as an Assassin sometime they want a person's death to look natural. Snake death along with downing is very popular." I said as I tied up her hand. I turned away from her for a second then I let out a whistle. Flames trotted into view. I picked up Isabelle and I put her on the horse. Then I got on in front of her. "Hold on." I said. She nodded her head and she held on. She had her face against my back. I could feel her tears begin to soak my shirt. I rode to where we had started off today, and there was Emeline and Alexander.
