2024-10-29 19:42:56Wolferan sighed looking at a map of the territory. He had lost track of the silver-eyed demon a day ago and was trying to figure out where she was going. He had been following her through the forest but hadn’t caught up to her or had any sign of her after finding that camp. He knew it had been the camp of the silver-eyes demon because of all the body’s she left behind. He knew her killing style by now and knew it was her who killed them. The thing that mystified him was the fact she had a child with her. He knew this by the fact that there were child sized shoe prints.
Wolferan was confused by this as he had never once seen her travel with anyone. He was wondering if she had kidnapped him but no one from Rynion was reporting a missing child. Wolferan sighed, mulling this matter over in his mind. It never once crossed his mind that the child’s parents could have asked the silver-eyed demon to take the child. He only thought that she had taken the child by force or bribed the parents or threatened them or even worse she had killed the parents and taken the child. But why? He just couldn’t figure it out.
Wolferan sighed before rolling his map up and put it away. He could only see three places she was going; either the forest to hide, the town Rotton past the forest or the town of Vession to the south. But both towns were very far away on foot. It never once crossed his mind that she would go to the forbidden forest. It was just too dangerous to go there for ordinary people. He didn’t think much of the silver-eyed demon but he had a respect for her since she had managed to escape him for so many years.
Wolferan has gone to the forbidden forest once or twice before only going to find the great grandmaster who is rumored to live there but he had found nothing but an empty shack that had been abandoned. He had assumed the grandmaster had either died or found a better place to make his home. Although he truly figured the grandmaster was long dead. Wolferan had lived a very long time and by now assumed it was rumored he was an immortal but that was false. He was no immortal, he just had the lifespan of a true dragon unlike so many of his brethren, the dracions. Some lived a few hundred years but none as long as the original dragons of the world.
Wolferan on the other hand had met several of the original dragons and learned from them almost a thousand years ago. He had their lifespan as he had learned and would live for a million years if he wasn’t killed. Because of this information he learned to fight and became the strongest person in the world but he kept this a secret from others. He had great authority in the world and could very easily destroy any kingdom if he wanted but he wasn’t that kind of person. In the shadows he controlled the world but on the surface he was nothing but a bounty hunter.
Wolferan enjoyed doing this though as he liked to hunt down those who were evil and punish them himself. He had no need for mortal things but had a soft spot for children and the weak who couldn’t defend themselves. Because of this he became a bounty hunter in the light of day while in the dark he ruled the world.
This was also the reason why he was able to hunt down anyone he pleased when he had the chance. It was also the reason he got information of where his target was so fast. But the silver-eyed demon had evaded him for years and by now it had become an obsession of his to catch this woman.
Wolferan could know all there was to know about everyone in the world if he wanted but this silver-eyed demon.. he didn’t even know her name. This infuriated him beyond any means. He knew what she looked like and her styles but she could outsmart him and escape. Not only had she escaped him one or twice but too many times to count. His patience was running thin. He wanted to know who she was and soon. If he didn't, those of his informants would be punished. Wolferan could be very vindictive when he didn’t get what he wanted after his patience ran out.
He absolutely had to know who this woman, this cattrina was; he just had to know. It was bothering him to no end. This silver-eyed demon had outsmarted him many times and was very fast. He could tell she was skilled but he was unsure how skilled. He did know that every bounty hunter except him had died at her hands but with him she always ran. He didn’t know why though. He thought it could be the fact she knew who he really was or had a sense of danger or believed the rumors of him being immortal either way it was not good for him.
If she knew who he was, she could only run or turn herself in but he didn’t believe this. If she believed the rumor then she was an idiot but he knew that not to be true as he could tell she was too smart to fall for rumors. He only had the one option that she had a sense of danger but if that were true..
She had to be an elite warrior with years of battle experience but he knew the silver-eyed demon was no more than twenty at the moment. No one he had ever met had ever gained a sense of danger under twenty unless they were born with the sense and trained it. Even then though, it was hard fought for and needed at least ten battles on a battlefield to use it effectively and successfully at all times.
Wolferan had seen the silver-eyed demon avoid him many times without her ever seeing him more than a hundred times. He knew she had killed many but that wouldn’t give her a sense of danger. He couldn’t explain her actions any other way though. Of course there was another way to get a sense of danger and that was to be a master of martial arts. Although, he hadn’t seen a master of the martial arts since the Haune family was destroyed and the martial arts erased from history.
He was the only person now alive that knew the martial arts or knew anything of them so he immediately erased that thought from his mind. But this thought kept nagging at him. If the silver-eyes demon truly was a martial artist and had a sense of danger even he would have trouble defeating her. But again he was the only one who knew of the martial arts so he couldn’t believe she knew any. There was the fighting style but it was far weaker than the martial arts.
Wolferan sighed and rubbed his forehead, shaking his head of these thoughts. He needed to find the silver-eyed demon and soon. He needed to save that child with her before she decided to kill him. He had a low view of the silver-eyed demon. He thought of her as nothing more than a rabid wolf. When he first started hunting her, she had been an ant in his eyes but as the years passed his view of her changed but he still thought of her as no match for him.
Wolferan broke his small camp and took to the sky to look for signs of the silver-eyed demon. He had followed her to an area near the forbidden forest but then lost any trace of her and the child. He wouldn't have lost them if it hadn't stormed for several days. He was worried for the health of the child because of this weather and tried all of his tricks to pick up their trail but to no luck. He knew the silver-eyed demon was more skillful than anyone he currently knew. As such it would not be easy to track her down.
He looks for any trace of the silver-eyed demon heading towards the town of Rotton hoping this was where she was headed and would catch her. If Wolferan caught her he could finally put to bed his obsession of catching her and find out who she really was. He flew swiftly using one of his magic abilities to search for signs but when he was halfway to the town and still no sign he knew this wasn’t where she was headed. He stopped and sighed he had to turn back and try again and hope he caught up to her. If not he could only go home and wait for any news of the silver-eyes demon.
Wolferan sighed before he headed back to where he lost them. He couldn’t understand the thoughts of the silver-eyed demon. Could she be resorting to blackmail or ransom because she had no money but if that were the case couldn’t she find a killing job like normal? He just couldn’t figure it out. He sighed, flying swiftly back. It had taken him half a day to get half away to Rotton. He could cover a week's worth of riding in a few hours while he knew the silver-eyed demon was on foot and with a child. He still couldn’t figure out how she could always escape him but he was determined to catch her.
He reached the place he lost them and landed; it was getting dark and he knew he couldn’t carry on in the dark. Wolferan made a small camp and built a fire before laying down on his blankets to sleep. He had no worry of anyone or anything attacking him. He was just too dangerous for any animal to try. He yawned softly before starting to doze thinking. He soon fell asleep on the blankets.
Wolferan woke the next morning and sat up. He got up and made a quick breakfast of some jerky and a roll. Wolferan finished his breakfast before he broke his camp and flew headed for Vession. He once again flew swiftly while using his magic ability to search for signs of the silver-eyed demon and the child. He was hoping to find them today but if he couldn’t he knew he had no chance to find them til they surfaced once again and by then the child might have been killed.
He flew swiftly searching but by midday he still had no sign of them and roared in anger knowing he had lost them for good. He now could only go home and hope for news and the best for that child. Wolferan of course didn’t want to give up so easily but knew he couldn’t continue a futile effort. He had more than once tracked her into a forest and everytime he lost all trace of her and could only wait for the silver-eyed demon to show up again.
Wolferan calmed himself and looked around the forest thinking. He wanted to stay and search but he knew it was pointless. He just really wanted to save that child from the clutches of the silver-eyed demon but knew he couldn’t. He just hoped she would be merciful and let him live and if not he hoped she would kill the child painlessly. He could only hope for the best at this moment. He sighed before leaving flying home now that he had no hope of finding them. He felt this was his greatest failure. He had failed to save the child from harm.

Leanunya woke the next morning and looked around, having barely slept any. She stood up and stretched looking at the sleeping Nagos. She sighed softly and worked to make them some breakfast. They had run out of the food she had bought a week and a half ago. She had since found food they could eat mostly fruits, berries and mushrooms. Rarely did she start or make a fire so she didn’t hunt but since they were so close to the forbidden forest she was willing to have a fire. Leanunya made a fire pit and using her dragon's fire breath, she started it. She then stood from her squat she was in to start the fire and went to hunt something down for them to eat. She moved silently into the forest around them and looked for any signs for prey. She walked silently looking and soon noticed the tracks on a

Leanunya ran to the shack swiftly and drew a knife in the process. She covered the hundred yards in a matter of seconds and reached the shack. She could see a pack of zarowls outside the shack. They were giant wolf-like creatures who’s fangs and claws were stronger than steel. Leanunya hissed at them, gaining their attention. A few attacked her and she dodged before stabbing one through the base of its jaw and through its throat killing it. She then swiftly attacked the other that attacked her stabbing it through its eye and into its brain killing it.She hissed once again her ears flattened to her head, her wings spreading wide and her tail fluffed up lashing side to side. She then darted forward attacking another zarowl killing it just as swiftly as the other two with a dagger to the throat. She needed to get inside the shack and to Nagos. She had to protect him. She hissed angrily and the za

In the morning Leanunya stood and stretched. She had stayed up most of the night making sure Nagos was warm enough and to keep predators away. She looked at the still sleeping nagos and went to him, shaking him.“Time to get up, come on. Your training starts.” Nagos opened his eyes and looked at her. She spoke, “You'll be getting up at dawn from now on, ok?” Nagos nodded after sitting up and stretching out.Leanunya watched him calmly as he got up. She nodded “come on let’s go out. You’ll only get breakfast after fifty laps around the shack.” She then left the shack and entered the cold air of the forest making her fur fluff up in response. She looked at Nagos who shivered and was holding his hurt arm. She spoke, “get going.” Nagos nodded and started to walk around the shack. Leanunya spoke

Nagos ran training, trying to keep up with leanunya. It always amazed him at how fast she could run and have so much agility at the same time. He had already been training under her for over two years. The training was harsh most of the time and many times he had almost died. He managed to survive though and now he was almost ready to go home again. He could barely wait to see his father again. He was overly excited to see his father after two years. He had already grown at least a foot in height if not more though he wasn’t positive on that.He ran barely keeping up with Leanunya who was in front of him. Nagos was panting as he ran after her. He had learned to hunt and read a situation he was in since he had started training. He could now tell when to run or fight after a few minutes. He had also become good at spotting openings in his target. Leanunya had taught him to always go for the kill

Wolferan sighed reading a report he had gotten. He had reread the paper at least ten times already. He was really disappointed. He had no news of the silver-eyed demon and only kept getting reports of rumors that always turned out to be false. This was frustrating him to no end. It had been two whole years since he had any real news of her. There had been a few times when he had reports of a mysterious woman in a few towns near where he lost the silver-eyed demon last, but it was always brief.The reports said a mysterious cattrina came into town with a boy and bought clothes and left. There was no definitive proof it was the silver-eyed demon as none of his informants got a good look at the woman and boy. He didn’t believe those reports to be the silver-eyed demon but he had a nagging feeling towards those reports and remembered them. He didn’t know why they bothered him but they did. He

Leanunya sat up and stretched, having woken at dawn. She looked over to the still sleeping Nagos and stood. She called out “Nagos get up. Let’s get going” Leanunya then started to get her stuff gathered to go including gathering the meat slices from the zarowl Nagos had killed the night before. Once she finished putting the meat in a bag she went to the still sleeping Nagos.She scowled and unceremoniously kicked him off and out of the bed this time for sure waking him. She always did this if he didn’t wake the first time she called him to get up. She looked at him coldly as he sat up on the floor, a pouty look on his face. This look only made her even more irritated. She had discovered while training him what a disappointment he really was.Nagos had hesitated his first kill and then continued to disappoint her. She had orig

Leanunya yawned, waking. They had been traveling for at least two weeks and should be arriving in Rynion tomorrow morning or by tonight. They had fairly nice weather as they had traveled. Although today was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain. If it rained they wouldn’t reach Rynion until tomorrow morning or even later. If it didn’t rain they would make it in this evening but she was unsure if she wanted that. Although the rain really couldn’t slow them down she disliked walking in the rain but would do so if necessary.She stood up and stretched out telling Nagos to get up. Leanunya gathered her stuffed and ate some jerky after she finished waiting for Nagos to finish getting his stuff gathered. This was another thing she disliked about Nagos. He was very messy. She knew he was still a child but he would take everything out of his bag just to grab his blanket to sleep. She

Leanunya talked with Drake til dawn, the rain having not stopped until well into the night long after Nagos and those others had fallen asleep. She knew she wouldn’t have slept anyway so she had stayed up with Drake. They had talked about many things but at the same time nothing. They both knew more than either chose to speak about or wanted to. They had spoken of nothing that could give away who they truly were or what they did as a living.They had talked about simple things. Fighting styles and journeys but never about the deaths or the tolls. They talked and began to know each other without truly knowing each other. Although, knowing one day they would meet again either as friends or enemies after they parted. They had long finished off the bottle of whiskey they had shared but they didn’t mind as they talked through the night just like two old pals would do.

Leanunya noticed the lady who stood next to her and after a few moments looked up at her. She recognized her from one of the staff in the kitchen and flicked her tail irritably. She paused wondering why she was here and asked.“Do you need something?” Jessie spoke, “yes, my name is Jessie the head chef in the kitchen. I was hoping to get your likes and dislikes on food so we can better cook for you.” Leanunya blinked, “Why?”Jessie smiled softly, “we want to be able to better accommodate you while you are staying here. If we know what foods you like and dislike we can better prepare foods to your liking.”Leanunya nodded softly. She looked down in thought wondering how to answer. She didn’t really dislike any kind of food. She had some foods she liked

Leanunya looked out the window and saw Wolferan leave and huffed softly, swishing her tail thinking; ‘good riddance’. She turned away from the window in her room and looked to her bed and the soft blankets on it. A servant had brought her several last night and slept with them. She really liked soft things but didn’t think Wolferan would have found out but with what the servant said last night he had found out. Although this wasn’t too bad she still didn’t like the fact he knew. She didn’t like him, period. He was always stepping on her tail and there was only so much patience she had with that. If not for the fact he was stronger than her she would have already made a move to hurt him. This was also the r

Wolferan sighed thinking on the matter a while more before giving up until he talked to the witness. Since it was just past noon he figured he would wait until tomorrow to leave. It would also give his servants some time to get everything ready for him and to be prepared to deal with leanunya alone. He looked around the room and noticed a servant walk over telling him lunch was ready. He nodded and stood going to put the reports on Leanunya up in his study. He put the reports up before going to the dining room.He entered the dining room and sat at the head of the table where he normally sat. He looked at the food prepared and nodded softly. The kitchen had made some lamb chops with some green beans and potatoes. It not only smelled good it also looked good and made his stomachs grumble in anticipa

Leanunya sat at the table with Wolferan to eat lunch. It was simple but good. It was mainly some sliced meat, bread and cheeses with some olives to eat but was quite filling. She soon ate her fill and excused herself from the table before walking off still holding the book she had been reading in the library.She walked around and found a couch to sit down on to continue reading the book she had in her hands. She sat down on the brown couch positioning herself so her wings wouldn’t get crushed behind her and cause her pain. She then noticed a throw blanket on the back of the couch. She flicked her tail before reaching out and touched it. It was soft under her touch and slightly smiled before pulling it down into her lap relaxing a bit.She glanced around and not seeing anyone smiled snuggling into the soft blanket face first like a little kid. she r

Leanunya looked to the door as there was a knock. She got up and went to the door, opening it to find a servant, the same one as before who led her to her room. He bowed to her before he spoke.“Lunch is ready. I’ll take you to the dining room.” She nodded softly, “Thank you, may I get your name?” The servant blinked, “My name is Jonece.” She nodded.She followed Jonece as he led the way to the dining room. She walked, flicking her tail as she followed him to the dinning hall and entered. She looked around before she was directed to sit. She sat down shifting her wings to make it more comfortable to sit.Leanunya looked at the spread of food on the table before her and looked over as Wolferan entered the room. He went and sat at the table. He looked at her before he gr

Leanunya looked at the ground as Wolferan flew. She could tell they were going back to his home from the direction he was headed. She looked at the ground passing below, staying silent. She wanted nothing more than to sleep and get some rest so she could heal. She didn’t want to deal with wolferan or anyone else. She just wanted to be left alone.Though she knew it wasn’t possible anymore at this point. She could only endure and try to ignore Wolferan. She didn’t want others to see her weaknesses but Wolferan had seen it and even made fun of it. She couldn’t stand it. It was the worst humiliation.She looked at wolferan and flicked her tail looking back to the ground as they flew. She watched as the ground below passed by. She could see the forest below and thought it would be nice to take a nap there in a tree without being

Wolferan sighed silently looking at Leanunya who had refused to talk since that disaster during yesterday's lunch. He had managed to gain some of her trust and got her to talk fairly freely but now she wouldn’t even reply to him. He had no idea how to salvage this. He had pushed too far in his questioning and instead of answers he got nothing but silence.He had tried several ways to get her to talk but to no avail. He had seemed to cross a line of hers but what that line was he had no clue. This left him stewing in his own frustration and confusion. He sighed and figured he could only wait for her to talk to him. Perhaps he could get her to talk again by letting her ask him questions? He didn’t know though as she seemed determined to stay silent.He had let her rest an hour after that disaster before he carried her continuing to fly on their

Leanunya watched as the old man and others got in the wagon driving off after saying goodbye to them and offering their thanks for the help. She looked at Wolferan who watched them disappear from view. He then turned to her and spoke.“Want to have lunch now since we are already here?” She sighed and nodded, “I guess. Why didn't you let me help?’ Wolferan looked at her, “you are injured. Now, I am curious why you wanted to help them?” She spoke, “They needed help, there was only an old man and two women like they could get out of the mud.”Wolferan took the bag off his back moving to the side of the road while asking, “Tell me again why you wanted to help them. This time don't lie.” Leanunya looked at her and sighed following him to the side of the road, “they needed help and we could
Assassins Law Chapter twenty-four
Leanunya woke to a light drizzle in the morning. She had actually slept the whole night through. She was both daunted by this and excited, she had never slept a whole night through ever since she first went to the forbidden forest. She was feeling well rested. She rarely felt well rested anymore and was glad as she had needed the sleep.Although she was glad for the rest she disliked waking to rain. It made her already aching broken ribs and wing ache even more, putting her in a foul mood despite her good rest. She stood up and went underneath a nearby tree to get out of the rain. She then looked to wolferan who was still by the now just smoking fire pit digging in his bag.She looked at him and then looked up at the cloud darkened sky. Although she liked the smell and sounds of rain she rather liked them when she wasn't wet. It seemed like Wolferan wasn'
