Two Halves Of A Whole

•••

As Henry quickly got in conflict with the Archers and began running to avoid getting filled with Arrows, Roran had his attention pulled to the trio of Jonas, Al, and Eli, and the longer he watched, the more he frowned. 

Minutes Earlier…

Al had deflected his opponent's attack and with a powerful diagonal slash, he dealt a heavy blow that had blood spilling out of the Bandit's front. 

Stunned by the pain, the Bandit kept a hold of his sword and made to swing it. Al ducked so the blade sailed over his head before he then stabbed his sword into the Bandit's stomach and twisted. 

"Ack!" The bandit let out and when Al pulled his sword out, he fell to his knees, the light vanishing from his eyes in a second. 

Al turned away from his kill immediately and his eyes fell on Eli who had just gotten stabbed in the side.
