Forgiven, Chapter 1
(authors notes)
for those of you who watch blahman919 i can understand this is familiar, and i give him the proper credit for the idea. in fact since he never finished his story called, "Different" i really wanted to know what happened later on with them. so i decided to also make this a basis for another character in "The Guardians" series i do to introduce the assassin to the clan named Kleass, B. Scronan, a young lone tribal feline that was banished because of an accident he caused. he is a lone hunter turned assassin. so here it is and i hope you enjoy! ^.^
It was just another job i was told. kill her and you get the gold is what the contract read. I am an Assassin. trained to kill and hunt down others for money. My name, is Kleass Scronan. I am a sand colored feline with short black stripes running down my back from top to bottem. I once used to be in a tribe, when i was young. but i was cast out due to an accident i caused, killing my best friend. That is when i started to hunt for a living, killing animals for food and money just so i could get by. one day, someone asked me if i hunted people too, and offered me a large sum of money for killing a rival of his. his pay was twice the amount i ever earned in a season of hunting, so then i went to train myself in becoming an Assassin.
My target this time, an earth green Dragoness. I have been following her for some time now, learning her moves and her patterns. she was easily two times bigger than i, and had the strength to match that statment as well. she was also very tall, maybe around ten feet tall, compared to my five feet.
on this day i was waiting for her on her normal route. it was a sunny day in the forest as i waited up in a tree for her, my dagger ready, and my short sword i made on my back. i wore my black cloth and leather robes, with metal braces on my arms to act as sheilds in a fight. i waited for a half hour and checked the sun, "its just about time." i thought. and just as i expected, i heard her walking down the path. "here we go."
As she was walking close, i leaned forward, ready to jump down and send my dagger down the back of her neck. just before i jumped for her, i heard a twig crack and rustling in the bushes to my left. I looked over there to check for what it might be when i heard a yell, "Hurry! Catch her!" I snarled as now someone was comming and was going to interfere with my plan. i checked back for the dragoness and noticed that she too had heard the noise and stopped, just a few feet too far infront of my reach to jump at her.
i waited with a small snarl. angered about this interuption of my plan. i began to think of what to do but could not come up with anything, so i sat and waited. "i'll take her tomorrow if it gets too busy here." i thought as i rested my arms on my knees, watching to see what would happen.
i jerked my head when i heard a rustle in the trees to the south. i could hear shouting that went along the lines of, "Get her!" and "Your a dead woman!" i chuckled and thought to myself, "well, some body is in trouble." i turned to look back at my target when a foxen wearing tattered leather clothes, burst through the bushes and right into the target.
"Sorry! sorry!" the foxen stumbled as she tried to scramble back to his feet. "whats the rush? whats wrong?" the dragon asked. "theyre after me!" the foxen yelled and pointed with a frightened look when she saw five guards appear through the foilage. at that moment the foxen took off towards my tree. "oh crap..."
the foxen suddenly jumped up and began top climb my tree towards my hiding place. i quickly tried to hide in the leaves as she now was on my branch, looking down at the guards and not paying attention to me infront of her. "stop, stop, stop, STOP!" i screamed in my mind. she was still comming. she was right on me when she finally turned her head and saw me. both of our eyes went wide as we both saw the imminent impact of one another. CRASH! we both fell from the tree in a heap, hitting the ground below.
