“Yeah, I’m sure he’ll be back,” Kaelan said.
“We need to leave.” Kaelan picked the four daggers up then headed for the door. The duo left the room and made their way down the stairs.
“Huh? Are you leaving?” the innkeepers voice sounded behind them. Two scythe is hand, each connected to chains. “You havent paid your clean up fee. Im sure you two messed up the room with your fun.”
Kaelan raised a brow, but Lira spoke first. “How much?”
“Ten Sarls.”
She didnt complain. She placed it on the front desk beside and asked, “can we leave now?”
“Yes, yes. Do come again. I like customers like…” the innkeeper paused. His grip on the scythe got tighter. “Tch, they are back again.”
Liras ears twitched, and her hand tightened around her dagger. “They are here,” Kaelan said, while looking around.
A shadow moved across the broken window. Then, the door burst inward, splintering at the edges.
Three assassins tumbled in, cloaked in black, daggers flashing in the dim light. One lunged straight for Kaelan.
Kaelan bent to the side, letting the blade slash past him. He grabbed the table and swung it, smashing the first attacker into the wall. The impact sent dust into the air, and the man groaned.
“Hey! My Sarls,” yelled the innkeeper. Glass shattered as assassins came in through the window. “I’m gonna kill ya,” he said and charged at them.
Lira was already moving, slicing, dodging. Her attacker was fast, but she was faster. Kaelan tossed a dagger at him. It pierced his neck from behind. Lira turned to him, but he didnt pause. He grabbed the third assassin, swung him like a rag, smashing his back into the wall.
Kaelan bolted out the inn and Lira leapt after him.
