Death's Wings

Chapter 1: Prologue

Jaskar ran through the forest, not stopping for anything. Jaskar knew they were after him, he knew she was with them, he knew they would use it on him too if they caught him. He had been running for a day now, and he was close to dead, but he kept on running.

Jaskar had reached a river with a boat in it. There was a man in the boat. The man pushed the boat to shore and pulled Jaskar in. after that Jaskar blacked out and knew nothing more.

A week later, Jaskar woke up. The man brought him three bowls of soup that tasted delicious.

"Hi," he said, "I'm Thoy.

"I'm Jaskar, nice to meet ya."

Jaskar was grateful for the food, but knew he had to strike soon before Thoy figured out whom he was. He could not forget his past. Jaskar decided he would do it tonight and leave no trace that he had ever been there.

That night Jaskar stabbed the man in the back with one of the various knifes he had hidden on him. He burnt the house and the body. He also scorched a couple of trees around it to make it look like there had been a forest fire. It was like there was never anything there by the time he had finished.
