I struck the blood-wielder with a heel of my hand, sending him backward and finishing it with a blow to the gut. The back of his head hit the wall, and he fell limp, out of consciousness. I saw another appear at a corner of my vision, and I quickly leapt toward him, preventing him from shouting as I bunched a piece of my cloak into his mouth. With the right strike on his neck, I silently sent him to sleep.
I stood, surveying the surroundings and seeing August and Niko finish up the other blood-wielders of Ines' army. Once again, we wore their garbs of black cloaks and white masks to break into the royal palace without getting too much attention. Really, they were making it easy by using costumes like these.
