Disturbed

"For the first time, I have come really close to defeating you, mentor," Leonard said breathlessly as we finally stopped fighting.

We had fought for nearly an hour, and I have to say, he is really good. If it had anyone else with such strength, I would have defeated them half of the time.

"No, you have not, Leonard; you have been defeated in the first minute we have begun fighting," I said with a smile.

He frowned, hearing that.

He clearly did not believe me, seeing how close he was to defeating me, but when he tried to say that, he realized he could not open his mouth at all. Not only he could not open his mouth, but he could not even twitch.

He felt like he was encased in iron crafted perfectly to his size, which restricted even the slightest movement of his body.

"My sword is secondary, Leonard; my strings are my real weapon," I said, and I showed him what very few are able to see and are alive; those who see are already underworld.
