One shot challenge by Sabaine. XD
I might actually turn this into a story if people like it enough. Thoughts? Please review!
The challenge; The champion is being hunted by an bounty hunter (woman) He gets caught in a trap (is hanging upside down) and he's got to charm his way out of it. he fails, but she thinks him cute/funny enough to let him go.
Of all the mistakes he has made this one has got to be the silliest. You'd think the Champion of Kirkwall, Slayer of Dragons and Ogres who defeated the Arishok in single combat, would be wise enough not to get caught out by a simple leg trap. With his blade on the floor, just out of reach, and neither skill not sorcery to get himself down he just swings side to side by his ankle as the blood rushes to his head.
"What's this? The famous Champion of Kirkwall. My, this is a rare pleasure indeed" a cynical feminine voice says through the trees
He looks around confused and dizzy but sees nothing but the green of the brush and brown of the trees.
"I'm here. Champion" she taunts walking forwards, pushing a few branches out of her way.
He looks up from her leather boots and bare lower legs past her skirt on her leather rogue armour to her pale face, framed by her long side parted fringe stopping at her cheeks. And the remainder of her ebony waves tied back in a high pony tail.
"Now, I can tell you're clearly a well skilled and capable woman of many talents-" he starts
"And out comes the charming personality that he is also famous for, this shall be interesting" she teases with a smirk, crouching down to his level.
"For you I can be much more." he winks "May I have the pleasure to know your name ?" He asks
"Do you normally ask your captors names before they kill you?"
"Ebony, I'll call you Ebony. Do you like that name? I like that name" He says pointing from her to himself "It suits you perfectly, you have beautiful ebony hair that shines like a silken river-"
Her lips twitch in amusement but she stops him before he can finish what he was saying "Surely that isn't the best you've got, champion?"
"You're enjoying this maybe a little too much" he chuckles "Would you rather I write you a sonnet? Perhaps sing you a serenade? I've been told I sing quite well"
"And who told you this? The last bounty hunter wishing to claim the reward for your head?" She smiles
"Actually no, she was a ray of sunshine. Her hair shone a glistening gold that swirled around her head. Her eyes a radiant green that glowed with a venomous tint. Much like your eyes that captivate a man with their shimmer of sapphire brilliance"
She giggles "You're a funny one, Hawke," she stands up smiling and cuts him down. He drops with a thud and a grunt "Best watch your back with the price tag you wear" she turns around and starts to walk as he unties the rope around his leg, he stands feeling dizzy as the his blood flow return to normal. He looks around for her but she's no where to be found, and leaves no tracks to be followed. The following months saw many bounty hunters, but none left a mark like she left on his mind.
Okay, not very long and she is easily impressed it seems, but that was not my intention, but I'm not very good at writing so it will have to do. I hope you like it. *Nervous smile*
