Book 1: The Bowman of Morroc
Part 1: The Pub
When you pass him on the street, you would have not taken notice of him, dressed in a grey cloak, a mud-stained suit and a Munak Hat so big it could cover his whole head. He entered the pub, and sat himself at the end of the bar.
He asked for some Peco-Peco egg brew. It's a home specialty at this place, and in the many times he's been to Morroc, he has grown to love its flavor. He got his drink, tapped open the drinking hole, and takes a long swig.
An Assassin gingerly steps up to his side, and asks "You a Knight? Where's your Peco-Peco???"
"I don't need a Peco-Peco, though I can ride one easily."
"I bet I can steal your drink from you before you can get it, because you're a slow muscle-bound, brawny Knight who can't even dodge a blow."
"You sure you can do that???" he asked thinly. The Assassin, quick as a bolt, tried to swipe the egg away from his grasp. Suddenly, the egg is gone...
It's on the opposite end of the bar, and the cloaked man has two arrows strung and aimed at the Assassin's head. Everybody else in the bar stared dumbfounded at the sight, and they quickly start to go out.
"You still want to jest with me?" the stranger with glaring blue eyes rasps at the Assassin. "No, I was ju... You're HIM?!..." the Assassin responded falteringly. He then leaps and Backslides out of the bar, shouting "It's him, the the..."
"Who?" asked one Wizard who has just arrived. He caught a whisper, "The Deathscythe" as the Assassin continued scampering away.
Intrigued, the Wizard bravely comes into the pub, prepared with a Soul Strike, but finds only a glint of green under a red cap slipping out the back door, and a note pinned with an arrow to the wall.
"Tell the Assassin he shouldn't go around joking with people. He might find out that a person isn't who it seems at first glance. My payment is by the sink, with the washed egg. Tell he bartender today's brew was excellent. Finally, if the Wizard reads this: You know who I am. Do not tell anybody else, except your Priest friend. I sense we will meet again. Until the next time."
