[OOC || Sorry for having disappeared for the past couple of days everyone. Had some school things come up.]<br/><br/>The assassin merely shrugged off the death of his superior, as if he knew that there would always be another somewhere along the line. Leon grit his teeth as he heard the word bastard tossed around so loosely, but the assassin seemed overjoyed. "Yeah, heh heh. Quite the catch, I'd say," he mused, giving a lighthearted chuckle. Zeke knew he seemed to be the odd man out, since he was the one person left between them and their advancement, but he was clever. "Don't worry, though. No harm will come to this Prince, at least not until I get the permission to torture the bastard to my heart's content," continued the man, his eyes slowly hovering to the left side.<br/><br/>"Trying to assassinate me, will you?" mused Zeke as he released Leon, spun and slashed upward only to have Leon in his clutches again in such a swift and fluid movement that even a trained eye may've had trouble keeping up with. The would-be killer stood there wide-eyed and blood spurting from his throat profusely, "You obviously have never heard of me, have you? I'm Lancor's Assassin General, the OmniShadow." Just then, the sound of hooves beating could be overheard. "Ahh.. And there is my ticket out of here," he cooed before he turned to greet the horsemen who quickly blocked any sort of advance.<br/><br/>Leon cursed himself and looked back to the other prince, urging him to run. "Get out of here while you still can! I can't fight either way, my blade is so worn that it would just break against their armor," he pleaded, only to receive a hilt into the side of his head which rocked him a bit. He slumped slightly, allowing himself to put dead weight on the Assassin. Being a nimble fellow, and not one of brawn, Zeke struggled a bit with the added weight and just let the bastard drop, kicking him for being such an insolent fool. Leon spun to his back, kicking with both feet into Zeke's ankles, making him fall forward toward Leon. Being the resourceful fighter he was, Leon had already risen his blade, causing Zeke to fall along it, skewering the general through the right side. Zeke had just barely managed to shift his body to the left, leaving only his right side to be cut badly, but nothing vital was hit. He gripped his side in pain, shouting out orders to his men.<br/><br/>Leon rolled away from him, and stabbing the lead horse in the chest, his iron blade finally giving way and snapping within the beast's sternum. This left Leon with nothing more than a dull, rusty point about three inches long, which he stabbed into the ground to gave him something to use as a hitch to shove off of as he darted away from the calvary.
