Chapter 4 - Chapter 2: In the kingdom Rogue 2

Zachary P. O. V

"What".

"I said We go after him". He repeated himself clearly assuming I didn't hear him which I did.

"I heard what you said the first time"

"You are suggesting we go after that person"! I exclaimed.

"I don't know you at all, we just met with should I work with you". I said.

I am just trying to look out for myself, I don't know this punk.

If this guy want to get killed why drag me into this,is this supposed to be my business despite our talk. I feel like I am going to get involved in whatever this is.

I wonder if he thinks I will cooperate with him or what, is there some plan going on in his head that he thinks a person he just met it's going to help him.

Besides it's not like he is after me so my life is not in complete danger it any form of danger for that matter

He wants me to go after someone who was almost capable of killing a guard even though the person wasn't actually on his own. I take a walk to this field, garden. Anyway going my way I am here to eat cause I am hungry after walking what felt like miles. Then I hear a scream about a tree collapsing on a person, the tall dwarf I met earlier comes again for a talk, then I see some guy in a cloak nearly murdering a guard. This is alot of stuff in a day. These thoughts came rushing to my head.

"Come on man"

"Just like we said". He said his voice filled with determination obviously referring to our little talk back there. I am snapped back to reality.

I have an odd gut feeling about this, even so he may be some kind of knight in training or have a dream towards becoming a knight. I lost track of my thoughts.

I go off alone past some shrubs and tall trees. In the midst of all this I forgot about my surroundings . The tall trees higher than the shrubs take more sunlight but the rays of sunshine passes most of the leaves of the trees and hits the ground brightening the place a little .

I hear a rustle in the bushes. it's that guy or whatever it is, again with the cloak. It is with a horse, a white horse in fact tied to a tree. he cut the horse with a small knife and tied the horse mouth. The horse was struggling trying to break free but judging by the cut I don't think it will get that far with the bleeding, the horse cease it's struggling going down in defeat the horse was crouch down in place, hold on beside the horse to the right while the cloak person was on the left. Well, on the right looked like a corpse but wait something closer caught my eye, it was pieces of silver and a bit of gold "Money" I wonder why it is still there on the corpse.

"What if he did something to the money". The thought popped into my head.

I turned my attention back to the cloaked that is what I named it since I can't tell the gender or whatever. it seems to be pulling out things to the ground and has the horses blood adding it to something I can't make out. The distance between us is separated by a small opening in the ground.

There is a tree to my right tall enough for me to get by I held on to my dagger and rope, a little bit of magidust from dwarf I try to get closer to the corpse I know it's greed but I can't help it. I hit a small branch on the grass making some noise I wonder if cloaked heard that I jumped to the tree. The cloaked s head turned to search for me . it found me on the tree I was about to use my dagger after I had tied it to my rope which it's length is way longer than this distance from this tree to the other across me. it threw a weapon at me I doged and fell down the pit but I guess it wasn't that deep.

I pulled on my rope, the horse let out a loud scream some birds here flew. The white color of the horse disappeared to blooded ash colored horse. The cloaked hood removed I could see it now. Light brown skinned green iris on the right eye, left eye blunt white, the shirt was unbuttoned at the chest level indicating he is a male. He is wearing a black trouser with brown shoes. So I guess it's a guy. His hair was black and lustrous

The weapon he used against me flew back to his hand as soon as he stretched it forward.

My dagger came back to my hand and cut him a little. he looked at his arm with a blunt expression on his face then turned to me. He threw his sword came at me. The sword missed me, he took a swing at me I blocked it

"he is quick". I thought to myself. I hear a thud a tree fell down. he is trying to trap me here,why

"To kill me".

I try to keep my distance from him during this fight , his sword comes back to his hand.He tried to cut off my head I ducked makes it slice over my head. Then punched me in the gut I went for an opening then I hear galloping, Then next thing I knew I was rammed into the fallen tree with the hoofs. I go thud coughing then regained balance got up to my feet.

It's a good thing I wore a leather armour vest. It protects from certain damage.

The horse looking pale its knees had a little opening blood coming out covering it as if it were blending with the hair.

"It looked different obviously, I wonder what kind of ritual this guy here did with the horse". I took a mental note.

The horse stood up with its hoofs aimed at me I side step and cut the horse at the feet. It made another sound like a shreek, maybe. The man jumped on the horse I use fallen tree beside me as a platform then kicked him off the horse. A knife ended up in my shoulder, my leather vest cushioned it a bit l removed it.

I looked over my shoulder guarding myself incase of hidden attacks it worked I heard a clashing with my dagger, the mixed eyes cloaked guy he took the gold.

"looking for this". He says with a mocking husky tone I saw a sword attached to it's casing I used it with the casing on to strike he deflected it with his own sword with silver edge, a golden center and a metal handle. My attacker wow gloves I am probably thinking it's so that he won't get caught. I noticed it used the sword to deflect his. I got punched in the face, gut and I was backed up. I am focusing more on defence than attack.. I was still able to give him a couple of hits from me.

This guy is really good, I am still standing but before he could take a strike my dagger . He was bleeding, he fell on the ground, he looks like he is bleeding more than I am. He got me good I coughed up a bit of blood I got scraps and a cut I would say I at least did a decent job of being alive I moved closer to him, his body is warm. I stepped back from the body, I saw different shadows on the ground I looked up it was the guards surrounding the area. I guess he was trying to frame but no, why kill himself after having decent winning in our fight. I still have the sword in my hand now bruised a bit even the gloves I am wearing is torn I take steady breaths, A guard came down trapped it's chest transforming what he was wearing to a leather shirt buttoned, a small cloak on top but it didn't have a hood, metal gloves as well as metal shoes and black jeans. He has a helmet covering his face. He came this way.
