Yoda was running behind Senja, but it didn't take the man too long before he catch up with them and kick Yoda on his chest. Actually, Yoda managed to block his kick but the strength from it was send him flung a few meters before he smashed a large tree behind him.

Senja froze and before she could grasp what happened that old man already stood in front of Yoda and send another kick.

After struggled for a few times Yoda didn't move again. He lay on his stomach on the ground.

Senja could feel her own heart stop beating as she held her breath. Her eyes focus on a pool of blood that starting to form on the ground from Yoda's mouth. Her body trembled terribly.

There was no tear in her eyes like she always did, but a silent sobbing escaped her slightly open lips.

Senja walked haggardly and kneel down beside Yoda unmoving body. She stretched out her trembling hand under Yoda's nose.

A faint warm breath swept her fingers and makes her tighten heart slowly loosened a bit. Thanks God, he is alive…

Yoda just passed out but, looking from the blood that was still gushing out from his mouth it look like his internal organs were injured. If he wasn't help immediately, then his condition would worsen.

"He is fine. He is not dead" The old man said with a tone that he assumed as a consolation "Girl. Who are you?"

Senja raised her head slowly, her mind was still in disarray when she looked at the old man who crouched under the tree not too far from them, Senja realized that he wasn't part of the group of assassins that attacked them earlier. Then, who is he?

"Stop looking at me with that miserable face! You give me goosebumps!" He reprimanded her while ruffling his hair.

"Who are you?" Senja asked back with her raspy voice. Her mind now back on track as she started to assessed her situation and the man in front of her. He looked like in his late 30 and didn't have intention to kill them.

Since he wanted to talk then, Senja would gladly talk to him. She also wanted to know what this man was looking for.

"Oh, before you ask who am I, don't you think that you should thank me?" The man slapped his thigh excitedly.

Senja narrowed her eyes "Why should I thank you?"

"Because I didn't kill your friend" He said matter of fact with a tone that he just claimed his good deeds.

"You injured him" Senja said with low voice. She wanted to continue talking to him to buy time as long as she couldn't deceive herself that she was afraid. She held her hand under her sleeve to prevent it from shaking further and with the last guts she had, she forced herself to look at the man in the eyes. She didn't want to give the man idea to threaten her.

"Oh, come on… that was just a kick. Hmm… actually it was two kicks" He rubbed his chin look like deep in thought "Well, I asked you first. Who are you?"

"You don't know me but you dare to attack me?" Senja slightly raised her voice and waiting for his reaction. But, except from knitted between her brows the man didn't give any other reaction.

"Someone told me that the famous granddaughter of Black Sword Clan has returned, so I pay a visit"

Senja startled. The man was actually someone who knew 'Senja'? But, what was the relationship between them?

"You already knew who I am. Why you ask?"

However, upon hearing Senja's retorted words he suddenly rose on his feet "Bah!" He spat out and walked toward Senja who startled after she saw his strong reaction. With three big strides he was already in front of Senja.

Senja needed to looked up until her neck hurt to look the big tall man who standing with his hand on his hips. The man look disturbed.

"You are not Senja! You are impostor!" He growled and abruptly sat down "Now, tell me who are you?"

How he know?!
