Snippet #897400

Kai watches as the demons blood runs down his blade. He is shocked that the thing is still capable of moving as it attempts to flee after delivering its warning. The beast only made it a few steps before falling to the ground dead. While the princess is distracted talking to her guards he walks over to the body of the monster and with a mighty swing cleaves the beast's head from its body. Kicking the severed head away from the body he proceeds to clean his blade. Looking at the body he says, "I made peace with death long ago, demon." Preoccupied with cleaning his blade he almost misses the princess's words to him. Sheathing his blade he looks the princess's way and says, "I would be honored, Highness." As they head in the direction of the palace Kai notices that the princess has started to bleed from small wounds on her neck. Pulling out some bandages he had been carrying Kai offers, "Princess, I am no doctor, but I bandages and they will at least stop the bleeding."
