While Aria was busy fighting off by the balcony, her partner was somewhere fighting a group of assassins. He was clearly out numbered but he still managed to hold them off. After all, he was a cat. Using his innate grace and finesse, he slithered his way trough their ranks. Confounding the assailants, causing them to accidentally stab and slice each other. "Time to finish this lot off..White art, Nerve Strike!" The cat began to glow, its eye flaring with much feral energy and in one quick fluid motion, there was a brief flash of silver and yellow light. Moments later, thud upon thuds was heard. The assassins fell like flies. The cat with its tail arced high playfully swiped its paws on one of the assassins. When there was no reaction he climbed on top of his head and licked his back paw. Victory is much sweeter when one can gloat.
On the second floor of the castle, Aria was fighting with the remaining assassin. He was quick, quicker than the rest of his squad. He was able to block and counter Aria's offenses. Another thing about this guy was that he was using a sword laced with some kind of poison. She noticed it when she blocked his counter with her dagger. There were drops that sprayed when their weapons clashed. The splatter landed on her dress and when it did, it began to corrode. Must be some kind of corrosive poison. A smile came across her lips as a devious plan came to mind. She stepped back up a bit and awaited for the attackers next move.
