Knowing all of this in the span of a couple of seconds, Lucas had to act fast. Faster than he had ever acted before, since he only had a couple of seconds left before any suspicions or otherwise could arise. After all, an arrow did just Impale his heart.
Without a solid plan, or the ability to think out entire strategies in milliseconds, Lucas crumbled unto his stomach as naturally as a freshly made corpse could. His eyes remained wide open, just so he could catch a single glimpse of his assassin. As expected, the being in question removed their stealth after determining that their target was out of commission. Almost soundless, deliberate footsteps accosted the fallen Lucas.
Lucas could make out the shadows of an indistinct male figure leaning over every so slightly to determine if their target had truly passed on. There was no movement. Only a pregnant moment of silence that gave birth to a somewhat satisfied sigh. Then the shadow of a male figure slowly passed by, their footsteps moving further away until there was nothing but silence once more.
Lucas could not recall when his mental grip slipped, it just did. And just like that, warmth encased his backside as blood pressure decreased and his heart slowly stopped beating. Which would make sense, since a gaping hole in his ruptured organ gushed blood into the expanse of his insides. Some of which barely escaping to the surface of his skin.
As his vision turned to darkness, Lucas vowed one thing. If he somehow revived from this, he would surely return to kill his killer.
Lucas is dead.
