He came launching from behind trying to sneak in a sneaky attack, but I was quick to react. My spiritual powers may be sealed away, but my original strength and martial art skills were still there. I bent forward then elbowed him on the stomach then grabbed my dagger from my right leg and drove it into his throat, blood spurting onto my hand. I wiped the blood with his cloth, then turned to look at the man in white who was at his wit ends. "Arhhhh! Tonight is really not my night. Why did they have to choose to assassinate him tonight, when I was returning to my manor? Oh! well, it's none of my business so I'll be on my way." I said talking to myself, hopping out of the carriage, and was about to leave when the man said something that made me stop in my tracks. I stepped backward with my left leg, then span around my arms crossed and swung my arms outward diagonally, releasing the shuriken (ninja stars). The shurikens flew straight at the assassins and pierced into their throats. I started walking towards them as they fell to their knees, choking on their blood. I leaned towards one of the assassins and pulled out my shuriken then walked to the other and did the same until I had retrieved all my shurikens.
I walked towards the man in white who was kneeling down with his left knee as he held on to a very light, almost-white shade of cyan sword for support as he tried to stand but his injuries wouldn't let him. He was in a ghost white robe is a flowing gradient of deep to light blues, like moving water. Swirling water patterns are embroidered along the hem, sleeves, and the lower edges of the robe in soft, wavy lines. Overlaid on these swirls are delicate frost motifs—snowflakes, icicles, and crystalline shards—stitched in shimmering white and pale blue threads that catch the light. The frost embroidery starts subtly near the shoulders and gradually intensifies toward the cuffs and hem, as if the motion of the water is freezing into ice. The sleeves are wide and flowing, with the frost patterns tracing the curves of the water swirls, giving the impression of liquid motion being crystallized mid-flow. You could tell by just looking at his appearance that he comes from a very strict rules and righteousness family, his demeanor spoke for itself. I walked towards him and leaned forward to get a closer look at him.
I lifted his chin with my index finger to see his face, and god, it was so handsome as ever. [Wa zha! He so handsome. Is he a god? I could kill to wake up and find that face watching me sleep.] I thought to myself, mesmerized that I started drooling without noticing it. [Snap out of it. This scumbag just threatened to bring down the general's manor if anything happens to him. Wait, how will he do it if he is dead? After all, dead man tells no tale so I might as well kill him and be done with it. Wait, he wouldn't say that knowing very without my help he would die, so this could only mean he is one of those top clan. And judging by the fabric of the cloths he is wearing, his clan has to be rich. So, if he dies, the general's manor will be held responsible since they are the ones in charge of the town's security. Arhhh! Why can't my life be peaceful for once? Others are....] My thoughts got disturbed by the man in white spitting blood. I rushed to hold him before he could collapse to the ground. "This is what you get for threatening me. I can't believe a mere human being like you thinks he can threatened me and still live."
I said reaching out for his hand to read his pulse. "Damn! He is poisoned with the 'Never Return' poison. Whoever it is who is trying to assassinate you, doesn't want you to have peace even after dying." I said reading his pulse, when a ghost white light appeared on his forehead. Water swirl formed the base as the Ice snowflake overlay-ed it semi-transparently. The snowflake's tips aligned with the swirl's curves, with a subtle frosty glow where they meet, creating a harmonious, fused emblem of motion and stillness. [tiān a, he has both water and frost spiritual powers? But it seems they are still weak, or else he wouldn't have been injured by such imbeciles.] I thought to myself reaching out for the pill in my right pocket. "My power are sealed so I can only use this pill to transform it into a harmless drug, but as to what kind of drug, I don't know. I just developed the pill so I haven't test it on humans. So technically, I'm using you as the test subject. You better be grateful that you get to use my medication before anyone else." I said pouring the pill unto my hand and fed it to him.
