Chapter 37: A Lords Fall

Heavy steps deafened the halls as guards quickly ran to the entrance, drowning out the muffled steps of an invisible rogue.

Sofia dashed through the hall, having found the throne room empty, to the downstairs.

Then a snap of wood rang out as she reached above the dining hall and ran towards it.

And from there, at the balcony, she saw Bryan fighting against the half-Orc, and the knight on the ground, slowing waking up.

Then smoke briefly enveloped the half-Orc eyes before Bryan appeared behind him, the knight shouted, then Bryan struck him with a bone crunching snap causing the half-Orc to crumble. Then aims the killing blow.

Swiftly she took out a grenade and looked around, the grenade blast will kill the half-Orc. Then saw the chandelier hanging above Bryan and toss.

And with a boom chandelier, but Bryan jumped away, and Sofia jumps. Then taps into her windborn magic to slow her descent and charge.

And with a metal crack she plunged her stiletto into his chest, between the ribs and in the lung.

"That was for Soloman. YOU BASTARD!" Then twist her stiletto and pull out.

Drops of blood falls out of Bryan mouth. Before snarling and throws a punch. Only for Sofia to dodge and counter.

Sofia dodge Bryan sword swing. Before a gust of wind struck and stagger her.

Her feet were then lifted off as Bryan grabbed her collar and threw.

Pain wracks at her as she struck the ground, dazed, before mist formed around her before drowsiness set in as she hearing Bryan laugh.

"It seems that I have to keep you on a tighter leash."

Sofia tries to stand. Yet her limb felt like lead and eyes began to close, its a sleep spell.

"No," she struggled to stand only to fall. "Not. like. this..."

Then she heard an explosion, then a yell.
