“He must have access to secret corridors to slip by so easily…” Voyse grumbled to himself. He remembered that he was being pursued and quickly rushed off in what he believed to be the most direct path to the peak of the tower.
“Almost to the top, Asher. Expect an ambush when we get there!” Omurai informed, reaching for his katana. He remembered that the blade was damaged and switched to the wakizashi on his other hip.
“I’ve got us covered, don’t you worry about that!” Asher replied, heaving his mighty full-blade up. As the two reached the top Asher immediately placed the full-blade over his head and Omurai’s. When nothing came, he put his sword down and looked around.
“It seems Voyse is more concerned about that other man than us…good, we’ll have an advantage that way. Come Asher, our prey can’t be too far ahead of us,” Omurai said, pointing towards an off hallway. The two hurried off, unaware that they had taken the wrong path.
