" a man who knows not of when to use or abuse death has no authority over I."
His face was hidden away behind the aid of a hood,
Keeping his identity known to only himself so there was no way of
Reporting the situation to any guard or nearby town.
Damn.
"Worthless words of a Nord woman act the same."
I stared intently at this masked vigilante, grasping tight at the knife that I so foolishly forgot I had, however he has a dagger and I Wield but a dull Knife.
I had the lower end of the stick and the outcome may be sealed.
If anything I can keep him busy while Igrid can get out and to safety, 
It was now or never,
I sprinted as fast as I could- not up the stairs- but towards him ,
I clenched my eyes shut and slammed my body- shoulders first into his ribcage and rammed the dull knife as hard as I could through his abdomen, pushing.
The two of us stumbled back- slamming his body hard against the back counter top certainly enough to bruise his lower spine 

I felt his hands clench tight upon my shoulders and grew blank minded as his knees smashed into my chest. My eyes gaped wide and I coughed out my staggered breath as he kicked me to the ground- and removed the knife from his abdomen,
It hadn't even pierced an inch into his body due to the leather,
I staggered and coughed for air, my arms wrapped around my breasts in torment, the Sharp affliction of his knee to my breasts knocked every breath out of my lungs and swiped away my stamina, my body refused to move to get me away no matter the situation-
Swarmed by nausea.
"Filthy, you nor that disgusting whore were of any improvement on my quest"

"Simply rats cursed with plague"
He hissed and approached, I'm defenseless against a man who knows his way around a fight,
"What I seek has been scattered by a lowlife merchant who tends every Inn in Tamriel, no more will I bend to the necks of worthless souls who show me no worth"
The masked man drew closer and closer to me till I could see his shoes centimeters from my face,
Black leather.
He bent down to meet me eye to eye and I could finally deduce this man had vibrant golden eyes with Scieras of A pale yellow,
Almost illuminating in the dark of night.
"You" I choked out painfully
"Have such marvelous eyes"
He blinked and stared in silence at such a comment-
Even as I swiped my hands to his knees and shoved him back as fast as I could
Grabbing for the dagger he so redundantly let go of and forced my body into action, raising the blade and urging myself on top of him
Bringing the blade down to his exposed throat and-

Ceasing movement,
The tip of the blade nearly a few Millimeters away from piercing through his jugular.

I panted in pain and stared down in return, my chest shakily rising with each inhale- I couldn't breathe, my whole torso throbbed with pain from the rise of my lungs.
"I will Not abuse Death as you have"
I staggered, my voice sounded grainy and exhausted from Lack of oxygen.
Now I see the full features of this man, for his hood had been thrown off the moment he made impact with the ground.
Right on top of the plates as well, surely must have harmed his head
"An elf.. talking lowly of a Nord.."

The man was an Elf,
I couldn't deduce of which kind due to the dark but I examined his features thoroughly
Before dragging myself off of him and handing him the dagger.
"You Nor I have any right to defile each other." I breathed Shakily, grasping my arm around my chest to put pressure-
Glancing at the unguarded elf as he stared blankly at the ceiling in disbelief that he was so swiftly knocked to the ground by a Nord woman.
Eyes wide

"You May blink now.." I murmured

"FAUST!" Igrid jumped down the stairs and stumbled to the basement
"What happened?!" She panted
Dagger in her hand eyebrows furrowed whilst the orc male from before followed suit,
"I got help! Are you okay?" She breathed and then blinked as she looked down at the shocked elven male.
The orc from prior held a torch so thankfully there was some source of light, and you could make out the Elf's appearance
A high elf male with pure paled golden skin and long Snow White hair was the infiltrator of this peaceful inn.

"I'm fine" I breathed and used the healing spell to fix up whatever was damaged in my body,
Staggering to a stand  and I moved over to join Igrid by her side
"I'll be a bit bruised but our attention should be to the woman who lost her life".
The orc grabbed the elven male and held his arms behind his back to keep the infiltrator from moving and harming anyone else.

"No longer must you need to look so shocked, I pushed your knees, nothing more" I told
Him as my final statement before the orc dragged the elf out of the Inn Probably to the nearest city to have him pay for murder.

"Come on. We'd better get going"
I told Igrid and the two of us returned to the rooms to gather our satchels and Carry on
