The man dismounted and drew from his golden sash a long scimitar. He approached Sir Arthur. The knight lifted his sword and the duel began." | swordfight assassin suspense | Justus A. Platt | |

"I--do not--really know.... But I must do as I am told." | assassin master autonomy authority | Roger Zelazny |
