"Come!" the master said in a loud exhilirating voice. "I've taught you all that I could. Mastered everything I've ever known. Even surpassed my feats and legends. Catch!"

The master threw a knife to his student. And as if reflex and instict caught.

"At the ready!"

On the master's command the student raised his sword and pointed it at his master. But he was too late to realize his mentor's chest followed suit.

It was all too fast. The student was too late to get grasp what just happened. His mentor was stabbed through his chest and he was the one holding the knife.

"Congratulations," the master whispered. The master gasped for air as blood spewed out of his throat and barely managed to let out a smire of blood out of his mouth.
