Once again the music of chaos grew deafening in his ears. Guards began to beat down the door, and shouts of encouragement could be made out from those not currently participating. The assassin faced the boy and his creature with blades quivering in front of him. The urge to finally taste the thrill of what his boy had to offer tingled at the back of his neck and burned feverishly in his emerald watch. Unfortunately, the town guard wanted to going this engagement and a public group slaughter was not what he needed for his reputation.
"Damn," he swore aloud as the strange black fish sprouted numerous black appendages. Each one seemed to have a mind of its own and a set of razor sharp teeth to match. All the meanwhile the boy, somehow clinging to the verge of the living, stared upon the killer with black, dead eyes.
"Just when we were finally getting started..." slipped the words doused with venom toward the amassing collective assault. They lunged for him as the door began to signal it's final attempts to maintain privacy. Lye snapped the blades to his aid, but the reaction was sluggish. The tentacles crashed into the hardened bones of his rib cage. A lesser man would have been penetrated numerous times, but this warriors skeleton remained vigilant against the assault. Instead of becoming a living kabob, the force of impact pushed the assassin through the hotel wall into an array of debris upon the city streets.
The boy's power was shocking, and Lye managed to raise himself upon his feet. His client warned him, but experiencing such ferocity first hand could not compete with a description. Lye forced a grimace on his bleeding features, and immediately turned tail to the nearest alley. Fragments of wood made their presence known every time his muscles tensed to move him. A trail of blood marked his path until the shadows swallowed him whole and erased him from existence.
"Next time we meet, Hsa Elub, there will be no foreplay -- you will die..."
