-----Finally, I have avenged my sister: the leader of the bandits, that had issued the raid on our village and had slain her in the melee, was dead. It had not been easy, since he allowed very few near him with the exception of his most trusted and loyal servants; however, there had been a window of opportunity open to me, that would allow me to get close to him. -----Each night, he'd force some captured young girl to go out with him in some remote location, and do what he wanted to her. So, I had joined the gang... Then, using my savings while acting as a thief (as much as I despised it), I bought a charm from a magician, that would allow me to switch bodies with someone... Once. I couldn't afford one that would work again if recharged. -----Then, when I had the horrible duty to choose a girl from the holding cell and escort her to one of his trusted servants, I made the switch with the most desperate of the girls, whom (in my body) then escorted me with my guidance. Once he and I were in the secluded location he had chosen, it had been easy to relieve him of his sword, that had been laid beside him on the ground, and eviscerate him while I pulled the sword from its place. -----Now, I stand over his body, after I had decapitated him while he desperately tried to hold his entrails intact. I felt dirty, hollow... But satisfied as well. One of his servants had probably heard him scream and were on their way, but I'll attempt to deal with them... One on one, I had a chance against any of them. I will take down as many within the gang as possible before I escape, or until I die. Whichever came first. |
