Night reigned over the forest. Not a sound could be heard, nor where any animals about, with the exception of a lone owl. A rustling in the bushes and the owl turns its head. A figure, garbed in a black cloak steps forward, his face hidden deep within the shadows of his hood. He is in a small clearing, with a pond on one side. Another figure, resembling the first but slimmer, approaches from the other side. The first one spoke in a quiet but evil sounding voice. "Well?"
The other voice was much more feminine and just as evil. "Well what?"
"Did you find him? The master will not be pleased if we fail."
"Relax, we're safe for now. My forces will be in position by tomorrow."
"Good. I'll let the master know."
He turned around swiftly and disappeared in a cloud of shadow.
The other snickered. "Hm, and I'll be waiting."
