71st Winter 509 It was early evening in the docks and Yernaver was being reminded how he hated the docks ,but he had been asked and given some money and promised some more. In exchange all he had to do was kill one man, he would come to the docks now at night recognized by his lightly green cloak, and so he waited as other's passed by he was even supplied a weapon for this ,and even a poison. He was dressed with a mask and a cloak he wore no armor today, if it came to a fight he would ran. Looking around he saw someone wearing a sword by his side and a green cloak coming closer. Yern just drew the short sword, that was given to him and took out a small bottle he would ensure his kill one way or another he just poured it over the blade and waited a moment for it to dry then, he waited the green cloaked man to get there, from his spot it was kinda shadowy he coulnt be seen easilly as the man came he stried to stab on the back but instead a Tsink was heard he wore armor beneath that! The man suprised turned around drawing his sword no you dont Yernaver tried again this time slashing his throat he barely managed it still the man had drawn his sword by now and was atacking him Yern throwed himselfto the sides to dodge the sword as it hit the ground breaking the stone there what the fuck. He was suprised it was one thing to mark the stone another to break it still he got up fast as he noticed the man was looking a bit pale it must have been the poison on the blade but he had enought power to try again as he moved his blade again to strike Yernaver did one thing that came into mind he tried to block as the sword came to slash he blocked with his own it lacked finesse and the man was stronger than him but it dint seem like he was able to see well as his next atack was off the mark. Yernaver view this a a chance as his thrust his sword slashing in hsi should the man dropped his sword as he cried from the pain and tried to grip the sword. Yernaver isntead placed his foot on the arm that he could move and another foot on his belly holding him down he removed the sword. As the man cried out for a moment he thought about what he was doing he was gonna kill someone yet he couln't place the feeling he felt it was sadness....propably not. Still he had no time as he saw people coming and more were watching from afar he did one thing he slashed the throat but as blood filled everywhere on him he saw he might survive NO AGAIN! he thought as he stabed the man everywhere on the body in a manic frenzy before letting go as, he took deep breath's to relax he looked around he had forgoten he was in the docks he quickly got up to leave. Just in time as he saw the guards coming to him, fear gripped him what would he do seeing the street he came from he ran there as he heard the voices behind him and the clanking of the armor. Running he felt hot like he wasnt taking enought breath he took a sharp turn into a street and took some breath's damnit the whole thing almost failed so stupid of me he wanted to relax but he heard various steps coming closer time to be running as he started running again he noticed that the blood was drying it would be hard to get it off. Passing a bridge he entered the water and swam under the bridge.After a while he heard some voices and the armors and weapons clanking but soon it stoped they left? as he was gonna move he heard more voices crap Yernaver dint move nor breath his heart beating as, he strugled to float. He felt dizzy as the voices seemed to leave the area who could that man be but now it mattered not he quickly strived to get out of the water he propeled himself a bit but coulnt reach just my luck he started swimming as he felt cold the water had seeped into the clothes and weighted him down quite a bit soaked but if he left them they might find him. As he swam he saw a part that seemed to be under construction it was pretty low, he swam there and got out of the water as he shivered he felt tired and hot did the poison affect him somehow? or was it being cold.Either way he tried to dry as much as he could he would meet the contact after resting at his home a bit. It wasnt a long walk to enter to find his way to his house still i wonder if the guards are still searching for me and who that man was the guards dont chase someone ussuallyhe thoughts were interupted by a blood curling scream what was that was his only thought still perhaps it was better not to know he moved to the door of his house and took his key out to open it when he noticed it was open crap did i get robbed he sticked to the shadows as he opened the door a bit and entered he slowly closed the door behind him. As he moved from the shadow quitetly trying not to make any sound he heard something from his room moving there he saw someone he tried to see his face but he wore a hood so it coulnt be seen. As he searched around his room he had opened his drawers and now was trying to open his chest this was his chance he got in and tried to punch the stranger as quickly as he could the man screamed and turned around furiously kicking Yernaver's legs he got him down ouch as he saw as the man drawing his dagger. Shit Yernaver used his legs to kick him in the nuts as strong as possible he was glad for having strong legg's. The man cried not expecting that and dropped his dagger as he placed his hands at his family jewels Yernaver quickly picked the dagger his heart was pounding this had been a close one. The man was at his knee's and in pain the atack seemed to have done more damage than it seemed for some reason.Yernaver place the dagger at his throat "who sent you thief" the man just looked him in the yes but dint speak. Yernaver decided he had enought he stabed him to the side and twisted teh dagger. As the man screamed he asked once more "say who sent you and i might help you close this wound when i remove the dagger" the man seemed to be gasping for air "Owras se sent me he said to ensure if the poison dint help th the gua guard get you to ki kill you" said the man in many sharp breaths Yernaver smilled seems like he was set up he removed the dagger as the man cried again and plunged it in his heart area as the man tried to scream but lost consciousness. Yernaver had to clean the body now but he was tired still he worried about any new assasin even thought they were more like thugs the poison was the reason for him feeling unpleasant it was doubtfull it would kill him but still he would need to check it up later at The Healing Hand. For now he checked the body looking closer the man was quite young his body dint have anything particular on him he had a bag with a couple of scraps inside nothing great from the looks of it. Yern sighed seems like his employer wanted him dead he would need to find him and kill him maybe ensure whoever takes over doesnt come after him. He sat down as he noticed the bood staining on the floor but frankly he was too tired to deal with it. Tock tock what was this noise he snapped out of it and thought it was the door he got up with the dagger he took and waited on the corner if need be he could throw himself from the window to the canal below to escape again. As whoever was at the door managed to open it he heard him speaking "Ah Yernaver good to see you alive"that voice it was Owras assistant Zank he coulnt see him but still could hear him well and he had lots of venom to spit on him"You treacherous vermin set me up with the one i had to kill the guard and an assasin and you finally show up to do the job on your own" he tried to get up but he felt so very tired for some reason. Zank seemed to be thinking "Say would you be interested in helping me take Owras down? i will give you the assasination reward too in return help me kill Owra i want his position to take it i need many things but you.....you would take the direct aproach kill him i will ensure the reports say it was an accident you get revenge the rewards and i his position and if you refuse or run i will just kill you what do you say?" Yern thought but for a moment "count me in but i am tired now i think its the poison i might inhaled some of its gasses and i doubt you got the antitoxin and whille i doubt its gonna kill me i cant move for now" Zank seemed to be thinking or watching hard to know since he coulnt see him from where he was for some reason "Dont worry about it rest for now i will come back later with a potion to help you" with this he closed the door. Yernaver struggled to keep himself awake he felt lethargic it seemed like he would sleep any time now how did everything fall apart was his last thought before losing consciousness. |
