---- Tt would be his.

If there was even a leaf in the ten feet circle around him, it would be cut to uncountable pieces Let alone a man.

His shirt lays discarded on the floor.Sweat dribbles down his muscled torso.

His biceps flex and unflex every second.

Yet he continues without any signs of fatigue for what felt like hours.

His eyes stay closed and I suddenly realise why he is called the king of darkness.

He doesn't let his blindness come in his way.

Rather, he uses it as an asset.

A weapon yielded by none other.

He rules the darkness.

And not the other way round.

And my heart swells with an unknown emotion.

Pride.

I don't know what got into me.

But I sprang up on my ---- feet and my legs were taking me closer to him.

My steps were so, light like the wind while my eyes stayed focussed on him.

My heart was thumping.

Yet there was a strange exhilaration in my chest.

Like one is not afraid of anything in this world.

Closer...

a little more closer.

The sound of the blade cutting the air fills my ears and just one step more and I will enter than ten feet radius.

I will be in his line of attack.

Defenceless.

Waiting to be sliced into pieces.

The biggest fear a man has, is of death.

And today, I will root it out if my chest, consider this to be my first step to begin my journey of fearlessness, bravery and trust And then without another thought.

I step in.

---- -_ Watching the razor sharp blade slashing towards me at an unyielding force.

---- eee = Chapter 179 Iclosed my eyes,waiting .yet the only thing I felt was the cutting of wind.

And then nothing.

My breathing was laboured and so was his Mine from anticipation and his from exhaustion.

I slowly open my eyes and I see the blade barely an inch away from my cheek.

Its shining surface was reflecting the light from the bonfire in it.

Gulping I look up and that's when I see him.

His brows were furrowed, chest was moving up and down and hands trembling from where he held the blade.noveldrama

You did well.

T speak, trying to keep my voice steady when the next second he threw aside the blade and reaches me in two long strides.

Do you have a bloody death wish! What were you thinking stepping in Sier!
