Chapter VII

"You dare disobey me." Fahrad growled. Three men in full black leather suits came out of the shadows, pulling swords out of oiled sheaths.

"So, you let the paladin leave, but not me!" Carana yelled at Fahrad. He grabbed the edge of his robe, where he had hidden a small dagger of fine make, better than his sword.

"The paladin has an excuse, he worships the light or whatever." Fahrad replied. The man pointed their swords at Carana.

"I still don't give a crap about your offer." Carana yelled. He stopped holding his robe. If he used the dagger, Fahrad would summon more bodyguards.

"Very well." Fahrad sighed. Carana quivered. Could I really take them on with only my hands as weapons. He wondered. "Kill him." Fahrad said.

All three swung their swords. All three missed. Carana jumped and twisted going between the blades, each missing by mere inches. Carana then flipped above the third sword, and landed away from the men.

They glanced at him in suprise, before one charged him alone. Carana jumped up, and knee jabbed him in the stomach. Smashing his elbow against the man's head, the man crumpled to the ground. Carana grabbed his sword. The second man advanced.

He swung his sword at Carana, and Carana expertly parried. Spinning around, Carana used the momentum to swing the sword harder. The man must have been better than the first though, because he blocked the sword, and tripped Carana. Carana fell onto the wood floor. The man swung his sword in a downward arc, but Carana parried. They struggled for half a minute, until Carana gained the upper hand. He kicked the man off of him, and got up. He swung his sword in an elaborate move, eventually disarming his opponent. He then stabbed him in the stomach.

Then the final man came at Carana. Unprepared, Carana was knocked over by a single kick. Carana backed up, and was hit in the head by the sword pommel. Carana crumpled to the ground. He struggled to get up, and when he did, the man punched him in the gut. Carana doubled over, and in the moment, he grabbed his dagger. He stabbed the man in the leg, but the blow seemed to barely affect him. The man grabbed Carana's throat, and brought back his sword.

It's over. Carana thought, but before the man could swing, two arrows entered his back. The man turned around, and Carana could see Sedanaru and Haladora advance on the man. Sedanaru swung, and in a single swift move, decapitated the man. Carana fell down. But before he could thank his savoir, he heard Fahrad scream out, "Guards!"

"Ugh." Carana groaned as he got up, and faced Fahrad, backed up by Sedanaru and Haladora, and Crytyster.
