Chapter 20 - Chapter 18

He went to deal with the rest of the guards and as more bodies fell. The smell of blood in the air was getting stronger and some of the guards seemed to notice. "Intruders! intruders! wake every one up," a guard yelled. Lights all over the stronghold seemed to go on from the man's shout.

A arrow flew from the within the darkness struck the man in the throat. The man collapsed on the ground. The sounds of footsteps could be heard from all around him and soon he was surrounded by guards. Once they moved closer and were within range he cast the spell darkness. Their vision was completely covered by darkness. They could not see anything they could only hear what sounded like screaming.

Alex had darkvision so his sight was not affected by the spell. He ran up to the men killed them all because their sight was blocked it made it much easier for Alex to kill them all. The duration of the spell wasn't long and when he he finished the last guard. The dark cloud vanished but when it did the only thing left were bloody corpses and a man stained with blood.

The remaining people screamed and attempted to flee but before they could they were shot by a barrage of arrows. Although he personally would of preferred not to kill every single person here. He had no say in this he was tasked with killing everyone here so that's what he was planning to do.

Alex had on tended on returning to his inn when he suddenly thought of something. He headed past his inn and made his way towards the slums. He was going to see his contact of sorts, he was a short man by the name of Rat. The first time he heard that he wanted to laugh. He made his way deeper into slum he could feel the greedy stares of some people but none of them seemed to had any intention of making a move.

As he turned a corner hoping to reach Rat's shop. The place was weirdly quiet. He opened the door to the store and meet an unexpected suprise.
