After about a day or two, the partners came to a stop. They had been walking continuously ever since the incident at Woodland. They had started to try and forget about it, but I knew that suicide is no easy thing to forget. As they continued to walk the seemingly endless path to Greece they saw a nearby tent. It looked deserted, so they decided to scavenge the camp for food and anything they can use.
They were unlucky to find anything, so they headed back for the road. When they reached the road, they saw a masked figure waiting for them.
“Ah, you must be the last Dragon Prince, Samwell. I have heard so much about you. I thought the last son of the King, was dead. Oh, its such a pity that I have to kill you.”
“Who are you,” Sam asked timidly?
“You don’t need to worry about that boy, seeing as how you’ll be dead in a matter of minutes. Its a real shame and a honor, the last Prince of the Dragons. Oh, we have been searching far and wide for the last boy. Who would have thought that it would have been a child. I have never killed a boy before, but I guess theres a first time for everything.”
The person pulled out two silver daggers, and began to approach Sam.
“Hey back off, you won’t get to Sam. Not while I’m around.” Liliana unsheathed both swords and stood in front of Sam. “Sam just stay back, I’ll take care of this.”
The two ran at each other, swords and daggers ready for battle. The two of them began to fight, the sound of metal and silver filled the quiet road area with loud banging. Back and forth they went attacking and dodging every move they both made, until the mystery person yelled “ENOUGH!”
The Assassin thrusted the silver dagger and it pierced the skin of Liliana. She fell to the ground shouting in pain, “WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!”
“My blade has traces of venom in them, this is what makes me so deadly. The venom is a deadly strain my Sisters have concocted. Without the cure, you will be dead in a matter of minutes. I guess I’ll have to finish you off, you don’t wanna feel the pain. It is EXCRUCIATING!”
The masked person started to laugh, she raised the dagger. She thrusted it down toward the chest of Liliana, but it was soon stopped. Sam had grabbed the arm of The Assassin, but something was different about him. His eyes glowed with the brightest white I’ve ever seen before. He was trembling with power, “YOU WILL NOT KILL MY FRIEND!”
“Let go of my hand you fool. Ahhh! How are you doing this to me, you are only a child.” Sam twisted his hand until he heard a loud snap. The attacker’s hand was now broken. “I yield, please don’t kill me.” Standing over the person, Sam had begun to take out his sword and pointed it at the person.
“Now, who are you!”
“Okay, you win.” The person unmasked them-self and underneath the mask was thick flowing dark hair, this was no man. The Assassin was a woman.
“You will give my friend the antidote now.” She reached into her pocket and pulled out a tiny tube filled with a dark greenish liquid. Here give this to her.”
Sam brought the strange liquid to Liliana. “Sam whats with your eyes, they are glowing white.”
“What are you talking about?” His eyes started to fade back to normal.
“Never mind, there are back to normal now. That was so weird Sam, how did you do that?”
“I don’t really know, it just happened. We need to find out who wants to kill me though. Lets focus on that first.” Liliana drank the vile liquid, and accompanied Sam near the Assassin.
“So tell me, who are you and why do you want me dead?”
“I’m a member of the Sisterhood. A group of assassins tasked with killing any remaining heirs to the Dragon King. Our family has been hunting the last Prince for many years now. There are more assassins out there besides me, and they will find you, just like I have. Please spare my life.”
Sam had decided to let the woman go, they started to walk off. As soon as their backs were turned, The Assassin lunged at Sam. In an instance, he had turned around and thrusted his blade into the heart of the Assassin. She dropped dead instantly. His eyes were closed when he did it.
“Why did you close your eyes Sam?”
“I don’t know, I guess I’m not a killer yet. I never liked to see anyone die in front of me. Anyway lets continue on to Greece. We still have a ways to go.”
