The man weaved through the crowd, eyes fixed on his destination. He pulled out a grappling hook and pointed it at the top of the wall. It latched in between the battlements. The chain retracted pulling him up the wall. The Skandian fortress was tall, too tall to use the grappling decided, so he decided to climb the stairs. He dashed along the top of the wall without making a sound. Then he drew his sword. He climbed up the inner wall and saw 4 guards. He stood on the wall and sheathed his sword. He pulled out his throwing knifes and with one movement flung the knife at the first guard. The knife struck the man in the forehead. He crumpled into a heap of armor. The man jumped down and threw 3 more knives killing the other guards. He opened the door and walked inside. He walked up the stairs to the balconies overlooking the feast. Erak was at the head of the table, ax within reach. The man pulled out his boomerang and tied a rope to it. He threw the boomerang and hooked the ax.
"What is the meaning of this!" Erak boomed.
The ax flew from his reach, and right into the mans hands.
"Assassin!" Someone yelled.
The assassin threw his knives and took out 4 more guards. The skandians at the feast drew their weapons and advanced on him. The first skandian came at him with a huge sword. The sword fell but was parried and thrown away from him. The skandian raised his fists to fight but was knocked off the balcony. The assassin continued to throw knives killing skandians and guards. He killed the last guard and turned to face Erak. He raised his knife, aimed and threw a perfectly aimed spiral throw. Then a blue circle formed around the flying knife. The circle closed around the knife and a huge explosion blasted Erak backwards. He laid on the ground eyes glowing with a blue light. A flash of light covered all view of Erak. When the light receded Erak was dead, or appeared to be.
"Go ahead and wander forever!" The assassin yelled.
Then he turned around and left the building.
