Hmmm… thought I had stopped updating on things? Well, you thought wrong!!!!!!!!! Anyways, I'm gonna put the one I started on hiatus and start up Talika again. Cept now it has a completely random title that has nothing to do with the story.

I'd like to thank SOPROL for betaing the story. :) its no secret that my grammar's not perfect.

A young girl crept silently through the darkness, searching
for her next unfortunate target. She held up her bow as she
heard movement along the edge of the forest. A rustle of clothing, perhaps?
Giant footprints littered the area around her, giving her shelter as she made her way as
quietly as possible through the maze of broken trees. All was deadly silent except
the heavy breathing of her target up ahead of her. She swung her bow
towards the faint silhouette and released. The large creature fell to the ground with a thud.

The girl opened a speech bubble.

"That's all of them, Talika. Get the map and come back in."
The girl sighed warily.

"Yes, mother,' she murmured. She sprinted over to where the giant lay and plucked the piece of parchment out of his hand; the map of Pirates Swoop's secret passage ways. She wondered why the giants, of all creatures, would want a map. They weren't smart enough to understand what the dozens of lines on it were. So someone had to have hired them,
but who?

"Talika, now." Tal sighed and ran back into the
welcoming walls of her home.
