15. By The Flip Of A Coin
Ash stood there looking in shock at three dead bodies scattered on the ground and a bloody elf standing over them all. Even Snow seemed impressed as she gave a proud whine, Ash felt the need to gag and he did. To his disappointment nothing came out of his already empty bowels.Lyra looked over her shoulder and held her gaze on the scene of what she had done for the fraction of a second before addressing him. "We have to go there are others coming."Before Ash could ask how she knew this someone interrupted, and the chained man seemed all to interested in them now. "By the devil's arse, that was a mighty good save. If you could kindly take me down from here I would appreciate it, though I can't promise you riches. I shouldn't have said that part, ignore the last bit."Lyra did not spared the chained man a look as she walked over to the first corpse of the man she had killed recently and pulled out her other dagger.Ash looked up at her, then his gaze fell to the chained man. "What abo
14. The Chained Man
Creeping closer to the sounds of laughter of what had to be at least two men he could feel his heart thumping in his chest, he would have perhaps heard it but his breathing was too loud for him to focus on that.Snow gave him a strange look of fear and worry. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." He suspected the pup could smell lies because it whined and looked away from him.Ash had to convince himself that he was doing the right thing, and what was the right thing anyway? He tried to walk as carefully as he could, but he could barely move without making a sound. Lyra had been the only one who could move around without making a sound, thinking about her made him anxious again.Ash was slowly getting closer, the sound of men grew louder. He tried to push past the tree branches slowly without making much noise.It did not take long before he came by a huge tree trunk, he leaned right next to it and peeped over the edge to see a small space a few feet ahead. It was
13. The Odd Man
Ash pat a whining Snow gently on the head as she bulged her head out of his coat. He steadied his breathing as he climbed over a huge tree root, his stomach gave a low growl so primal he almost thought it was the leopard pup.The forest of trees in front of him only grew more dense. Lyra had been in more of an haste than she usually was and it left him a bit more out of breath than he had been before.He had not seen her in a while now but knew she had to be lurking somewhere in the trees, or he proposed she might be. Snow was the only thing that relieved the loneliness he felt even by a little but not having anyone to talk to for the time being proved detrimental to his mind and body.Ash's thoughts slowly drifted back to the day his world crumbled, he tried to forget it all; the cries from that day but that was not the person he was.Since the day of the incident he seemed to be overwhelmed by the chaos for days that nothing made sense, he had even tried to take his own life. But of
12. The Girl With Golden Hair
Minutes turned to hours, the silence stretched longer than expected. The trader and his coachman Turnip continued to ride the carriage in a certain direction past the snow covered forest and down the half frozen forest path. Tomas had nothing but the spund of horse hooves smashing into snow to comfort him in his present moment.His face was forlorn of a void that needed filling, but did he want it being filled or did he chose to remain empty?The trader did not bother him for a while, he would occasionally come into the carriage to check if he was fine, and keeping warm. Tomas barely reacted each time he appeared before him, he only clung tight to the book that was the only reminder to the home he had lost.His purpose in life now seemed uncertain, his future he had drafted now ash.A few more hours passed and it was nearing nightfall, that was when he heard the voice of the Trader again, this time it sounded very bright. "Hey kid, we're here." His voice reeked of optimism.Tomas bare
11. Forward
Cold. That was the first thing he felt.Not the sharp bite of Emberfall’s snow he had grown up to love, but a damp, heavy cold that clung to his bones like wet cloth.Tomas opened his eyes, weakly. A flicker of firelight blurred into focus above him. The ceiling wasn’t the thatched roof of the home he used to know, but rough canvas— from memory he knew it to be a trader’s tent. His ribs ached with every breath he took, wrapped tight in linen that smelled of herbs and something foul.He groaned as he tried to sit up from the wool covered bed.“Easy there, lad.” A gruff voice came from the shadows. A man with a scarred jaw and fur-lined cloak leaned forward, pressing a steaming cup into Tomas’s trembling hands. “Drink. You’ve been out for two days. We thought you’d gone to the frost. But fortunately you survived.”Tomas looked at the man, he was kind looking, had brown hair and a warm smile. He stayed there motionless holding the cup in hand and watching the steam rise from it and dance
Silhouette
In the dark of night covered by snow and cold, the only source of warmth for the cake from the fire in their midst.The party of six sat around the fire, their weapons by their sides. They drank and laughed together, their leader Korran Hoxshore was silent.He stared into the eye of the fire and watched it like it was a strange thing. He could see the eyes of that dark figure staring back at him from the fire.He looked down at the bottle in his hand and sighed. "Too much ale will do this to a man."In all his years of banditry nothing he had learned had prepared him for what happened next. The fire was sniffed out by a cold wind, the sky went dark, no stars, no moon.A dark chuckle permeated through the darkness, one Korran had experience with. A few seconds later the flame caught fire back but this time all his men were gone. There was a figure sitting opposite him."No, not this damn nightmare again." He screamed as he reached for his axe and thrust it at the space between them. "W
