A Clash of Swords!

"Come then Sir Helios!" Leon says drawing his black katana - that was hung beside his left hip - with his right hand. He raise the hilt up to his ear & the single edge facing the ground.

Drawing his trusty steel board sword he points the Blade to Leon "Ready"

Leon circles Helios waiting for him to attack first, being an assassin has given him almost endless patience.

He sees a small opening in his defence and strikes but clashes with his Katana instead

Leon swings at Helios' head, but it's a feint. He quickly & suddenly flicks the sword at Helios's swordarm.

Quickly blocks his sword and says "Your quick"

"The katanas stance & the lightness of the blade contributes to the speed!" he then throws a punch at his face.

He grabs his wrist and twists it casing him to lose his balance and fall

Leon flips around landing on his left foot, "It's a good thing I'm really flexible!" he slashes at Helios' legs with the dull edge of the katana with full force!

Stops its with flat side of my boardsword

Leon then lunches into a flurry of blows hoping to push Helios back. "When do we end this anyway?"

He Takes a few steps back to aviod hits "First to Draw blood?"

"Sure!" he says pressing his advantage he then slashes at Helios' chest. "Do you know a very easy way to win a duel?"

"If we werent on the Same side i would slice my opponents neck" Jumps back before he hit

"I know a less.... permanent method!" this time he steps in close & slashes down, he will only be able to block the hit to survive!

He blocks the attack and kicked him hard in the chest sending him back

Leon flys back & his assassin training kicks in, he flips around & lands on his feet hiss left leg stretched to the side & his right leg bent, he slides along the ground then stands. He tries to implement his plan using an attack from Helios.

He watches "Not bad my friend"

"Heh!" he laughs, "Very few people can last this long against me!" he smiles, "I'm really going to enjoy this!"

"Then you havent Faced a knight like me then"

"Very few people are born with the a power or skill that can match one of a seventh son of a seventh son!" he says, "I am very much impressed, but I'm not arrogant.... the last, no only other person to last this long defeated me! My only defeat changed me a great deal. Your move Sir Knight!"

He laughs as he attacks his with a hoizontal slash

Leon smiles, "Perfect!" he blocks the attack & doesn't give Helios enough time to react. He slides his blade down Helios' broadsword until the guards are touching, he then kisses Helios on the lips & during the period of shock & surprise he must be feeling, he slashes at his wrist!

Before he dared to kiss him he headbutted him

Leon danced away from Helios, "So you know that trick do you?" he laughs

"You should see the damage i do with my battle helmet on"

"Hehehe!" he says, "I know more tricks! Mainly this." he draws his other katana & throws it at Helios & while he (dodges or blocks) the sword Leon quickly dashes & the slides along the ground slashing at his calfs as he goes past, the outcome is unknown so Leon quickly leaps to his feet & turns to the knight.

He doesnt block the other Katana in time but he jumps to avoid Leons strike but is stabbed in the shoulder with his Katana

"Shit!" Leon says, "I thought you could stop it, forgive me! I can sow it up for you if you want?"

He falls to his knees in massvie pain but he pulls out the Katana

Leon pulls a curved needle & thread out his pocket, "Stay still!" he commands as he meticulously sows Helios' wound. "Now how do I explain this to the Princess?" he sighs, "I better leave the castle before she throws me in the dungeon!"

Katherine ran from behind a tree she was hiding behind and straight to Helios. "Are you okay, Sir Helios?" she asked falling to her knees beside him. Then she looked up at Leon and frowned. "Couldn't you have been a bit more careful?"

He sits still waiting for Leon to finsh "Yes i am fine Ms.Kate"

"Done!" Leon says, "I'm going to leave before Lilli takes my head!!" he gets up sheaths his swords then leaves.

He grabs him with his good arm "Your not leaving anywhere you dont need to worry about the Princess i will talk to her"

She looks at him. "If you are sure, then okay." Then she stands up. "Mr. Leon, I need to speak with you."

"Um... ok then, I'll stay." he lookes at kate, "Come & tell ne what you want to." he stands & whipes blood off his hands.

"I will need to speak to you in private, Sir Leon."

Leon raises an eyebrow & smiles, "Sure, lead the way!"

He smirks as he watches them both walk away

She sighs and then leads Leon to the library.
