"My doom?" l asked pointing my torch cautiously at the direction I heard the voice from but saw no one.
"Yes the doom of Santos son of Masha who I was sent to bring doom to."
"By who?" l asked feigning courage.
"Knowing won't change the fact that your life will end in few minutes time."
"Who sent you?" I thundered.
"I was sent by a man you respect and revere so much. I was sent by the head priest of your brotherhood."
I did not doubt this reply of his rather I thought the head priest could do worse than that.
I kept pointing my to the direction where l heard his voice come from and at the completion of his last word he came out from the place wherel couldn't see him earlier to stand just in front of my torch so he could be visible before me.
He was dressed like an Asian ninja and had a scary pair of eyes.
"What do you really want" I stuttered
"l was sent to take your life since you are stubborn and that is my mission so humbly bow and accept your fate."
"I believe that whoever you are is aware of the fact that humanity will face the danger of extinction if l don't complete this mission successfully."
"All humans can die for all I care now recieve your doom" the assassin said as he brought two daggers out from it's sheath and stealthily began to walk towards me. I took no weapons alongside with me according to the guidance of the head priest who also had planned this attack on me and I began to panic in fear.
I knew I couldn't let my life go without a good fight and hence got my self in a good stance for the fight.
"You are truly stubborn the assassin cursed under his breath as he began to roll his daggers and get his wrists ready for the
fight.
Since the cave was very dark and silent I closed my eyes to make use of my ears only which was more useful in such fights. I began to pay attention to every sound coming from his way and decided to use my torch as a weapon to block his attack as I put the oil in a pouch which I had on me.
He rushed at me and began to attack ferociously but I dodged his blows and sometimes used my torch to obstruct few others.
He continued attacking with the same momentum which he began with and it seemed like he would never get tired of sending those furious blows I then decided not only to defend but to also attack him.
The first attack I launched at him got him as the flaming part of the torch hit his chest and he gasped as he staggered backwards.
"You son of a bitch" he cursed in anger as he fiercely threw a dagger at me and I swiftly
m dodged it. Suddenly I didn't feel his presence anymore though I was so sure he was still around.
