ARCHER
“There!”
9Please respect copyright.PENANA7UwNjUbXMr
They fire as one.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAnFLobHXhH1
Bolts whistle through the air—But the Blue Ninja is already rolling forward, a blur of blue and shadow.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAfGeTh1EuSN
He unsheathes his sword mid‑motion, the steel singing as it cuts the air.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAi0dyBnwS5r
SWWHIP
9Please respect copyright.PENANAh7aOwDzx96
He slices two archers cleanly at the waist. Their screams overlap as their bodies fold, armor clattering against stone. The remaining archers scramble to reload, but their too slow. The Blue Ninja leaps foward — landing on an archer’s shoulders. His knees slam into the soldiers collarbone with a crunch, pinning him like a child demanding a piggyback ride. Before the archer can scream, a dagger slips into his throat.
9Please respect copyright.PENANApY5zFLLe4M
Quick.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAhOA8iaPQMC
Precise.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA52k1Cs9z6P
Intimate.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAtJmNDE1B9v
The Blue Ninja backflips off the dying body, letting it slam into the wall with a wet, bone‑splitting crack.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAnUzuuyspCY
Two archers remain. They drop their crossbows and unsheathe their swords, exchanging a terrified glance.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA7jk7w5tKsj
Then they charge.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAnmEqoZH4a8
The Blue Ninja doesn’t retreat. He meets them and steel clashes — sparks spit across the corridor.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAPyCSyaHatY
He blocks both blades with one fluid motion, rolls between them, and cadapults upward unnaturally. He twists mid‑air, turning to face them, feet locking around one archer’s neck. In a single, horrifying motion, he spins — a full, perfect three‑sixty — dragging the archer with him. His sword flashes once.The second archer’s throat opens in a red spray across the stone wall. The first archer claws at the Blue Ninja’s legs, choking, panicking but the Blue Ninja tightens his ankles.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAjajEcvPJW2
Hard.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAqAE2MgEB5g
The archer’s face turns purple as he tries to pry the assassin’s legs off him. Blue tucks his chin still spinning the archer like a merrygo round, shifts his weight—And hurls the archer through the corridor window.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAumctR7ofTH
Glass explodes outward.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAZtDm9jA9Gq
The archer falls on his back, hitting the blood stained carpet floor, eyes rolling unfocused, staring at the ceiling.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAnBTtwcdqoY
The Blue Ninja draws a tiny black one shot pistol with no hesitation.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Awdc5DFy
POW.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAlLPEEoQU5j
The archer’s head jerks violently to the side, blood misting the air. His armored body drags slightly across the stone as it settles into stillness.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAcqYDW8f7bX
The Blue Ninja lowers the pistol.
9Please respect copyright.PENANADEXTzlY1k8
Moonlight glints off his mask.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAOlCeYnARXw
He turns toward the next scream.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAgyaO0PCiEM
And walks patiently.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAtGFsSKdsrd
The white wig screams loudly, curling into the corner.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAXOcUeZMDXA
The Blue Ninja doesn’t even look at him.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA5iDTwtGoHY
He steps over bodies like they’re fallen leaves. Traeven bursts into the hall and peeks around the corner, pistol raised.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAJjJ9PY3hnb
He aims with one hand, heart hammering against his ribs.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAzyS2Y7LxCf
He fires.
9Please respect copyright.PENANARyKWPBcEuV
BOW!
9Please respect copyright.PENANAf9ZDD66RBH
The shot cracks through the corridor — but the Blue Ninja is already gone, sliding sideways into the shadows like smoke.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAMecGNuEiVw
Traeven’s jaw tightens.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAtyMmR051V5
“Damn it…”
9Please respect copyright.PENANAcfPEfXs9rs
He sprints forward, feet slapping the floor with loud rythmic smacks. He reloads on instinct — powder, ball, ramrod — hands moving with the speed of a man who’s done this in his nightmares.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAUHp122qyIh
He turns around, anticipating the ninjas chase.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAcvppAIbul8
SECOND FLOOR THERONS BEDROOM DOOR
9Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zr3DGWwv4
WHAM!
9Please respect copyright.PENANAL2IMGzROFA
King Theron kicks open his chamber door with force.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAT4ILZhvBRd
His silhouette fills the frame — shirtless, hair wild, shotgun raised like he’s posing for a painting.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAO8Xb66UXID
His stance is wide.
9Please respect copyright.PENANALqi1p41mCm
Comically wide.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAqqgy7RsQMo
But somehow still balanced.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAaAo4Mys6tk
THERON
“Stay down, Susan!”
9Please respect copyright.PENANAwX0QMY62SE
Susan, who was already on the floor, screams.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA2rGCenHPsD
BOOM!
9Please respect copyright.PENANAYzfFydUwoE
The shotgun blast detonates through the corridor, shaking dust from the rafters. Smoke rolls from the barrel in a thick, dramatic plume — the kind Theron secretly loves because it makes him look mythic.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAvi5tQDNZEj
The Blue Ninja is thrown backward, chest blown open, body skidding down the steps. He hits the floor and stills, leaving a smear.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAJmp3mPpwXw
Traeven’s ears ring, stars blurring across his vision.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAgJfBfRrAz2
Theron exhales through his nose, satisfied pumping his shotgun with a flourish that is absolutely unnecessary.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA4xmmomsAYx
THERON
“That’s right baby!! Daddy’s awake!!"
9Please respect copyright.PENANA7yTPtqfe5t
He steps into the hall, pump action in hand, smoke curling around him like a cloak. His eyes gleam with that strange mix of fear, adrenaline, and theatrical pride — Another scream echoes from deeper in the lodge. Theron’s head snaps toward the sound.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAzORtR8Gxon
His face drains.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAntzBkmbvzp
All the bravado evaporates.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAf0pMP6BCxb
He retreats into his chamber, SLAMMING his door shut.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAsOVHQwb9A2
Throws the latch.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAZXPY4gBPj6
CLACK.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAQSqgW64yDe
Then adds the chain.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAHRY6FPkjG5
CLINK.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA1uWz2AVtLm
Then pushes a chair under the handle.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA8mtS1enydH
SCRAPE.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAFSudTGxbR9
Traeven steadies himself, peeks around the corner down to where the bodies lay—A yellow ninja charges him from the stariway. Traeven fires — blasting the enemies shoulder. The ninja flinches, and continues running forward.
