Battle In The Cave

One of the kunai flew straight toward me. It was so fast, I did not have time to deflect it, so I did what I always do. I jumped sideways.

The kunai just missed me by a hair's breadth before embedding itself into the wall behind me.

I looked at it, expecting an explosion. But instead, the kunai twisted and morphed into a shadow. From that shadow, a figure emerged, and in an instant, it dashed straight toward me.

A robed figure, face hidden in darkness, slashed at me with a dagger. I quickly brought up Indra in blade form to parry the blow. Sparks burst each time our weapons clashed.

But the attacks came faster and faster. I could not keep up.

A sharp pain sliced across my hip, then my shoulder, and finally grazed my cheek. Minor wounds, but enough to make me grit my teeth.
