The Dove of Steel (3)

Isaac had been hired to annihilate the bandits, easy money considering after the world had been to war, there was no one left to protect anything.

Isaac waited for the rouges to move just close enough,and as one of them looked up, he leaped off the hill into the center of the camp. He landed perfectly, another trick he had learned in his days as a soldier.

The bandits, while shocked, were quickly, and they immediately pulled out their weapons. The first one to fall would always be the one to charge him, and sure enough, a mace-wielding scoundrel charged him, and what came next was reflex. Isaac went into a stance similar to one someone would go into were they wielding a spear,blade drawn below the hip.

With one swift blow, he brought his fullblade with ease straight upwards, and before the bandit could react, the blade sliced up through his body and straight up his face.

The bandits around him stood in awe, but his weapon required a dance to really use, and there were enough to have a ball.
