This is something I've been working on for a while. Please, read it, enjoy it, and tell me what you liked, didn't like, so on and so forth. It is a work in progress, so don't yell at me for missing an ending.

 

 

 

Part 1, Chapter 1

 

The roaring flame had died down to embers, and the shadows slowly crept in towards the three adventurers. The three lay asleep, their rhythmic breathing the only sound around. The trees around them stood tall and foreboding, leaning over the huddled masses. The three slept soundly, with visions of riches dancing in their brains, and deep in the recesses of their minds, they were rich beyond their wildest dreams. If I succeeded tonight, these dreamers wouldn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t live to fulfill their dreams, or even to see the light of the next day.

 

 

 

I am a hunter, but not any hunter. I hunt the most wily, elusive, and powerful prey around. I hunt men. I am not an ordinary player killer. Those fools wander around the wilderness and bludgeon anything and everyone they see. No, I am more systematic then that. I had been tracking these three for four days, and at long last I had them. They hadn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t been hard to track, sadly, due to the fact they didn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t know they were being followed. They left a trail a dead goblin could follow. I had done the tracking and now to the second part of my trade.

 

 

 

I stared out of the trees which surrounded the three. My hand slowly slid down my side and rested on my dagger. I slipped from the shadows, mimicking them in silence and stealth. I extracted the dagger from its cloth lined sheath. It slid out silently. I placed it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s blade on one of the sleeper̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s neck. With a quick motion, I slit his throat. It left a thin, delicate red line. A drop of blood trickled from one of the ends. The man̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s eyes opened, then bulged. I stared into the dark eyes. Then, I saw a haze fall over them. They sank into the dull, fog of death.

 

 

 

I didn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t bother to mourn or even contemplate the man̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s death. I grabbed the man̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s pack from under his head and tossed it over my shoulder. I didn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t bother looking through it, there would be time later. I grabbed the armor that sat next to him and stuffed it into the pack. I did a quick search of his body. My effort was rewarded by an enchanted glory amulet and a diamond ring of life; it hadn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t done my prey much good. I began to slip over to the next body when I heard a crack of a twig out in the darkness. I turned to see a team of adventurers trudging through the forest. When they saw me, the corpse, and the two sleeping adventurers, they cried out and charged at us. This woke up the two adventurers who turned to me and stared. I quickly whispered, ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅWater strike.̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

It is impossible to exaggerate the unimportance of almost everything.

I'm too busy to continue this story, I'm sorry. But if someone wishes to take this story over and continue it, be my guest. Farewell.

 

Please don't ruin it.
