The Death and reprise of a Ranger

by The Potal

Halt the Ranger died years ago, his body never found. The next day, Cedric comes to Roland's castle. Now we all know the story of how Cedric wants Sofia's Amulet, but what if he was poisoned to? What if Wormwood killed Halt? What if Halt's not dead?

The chains won't go cold tonight. Halt the Ranger, would make sure of that. Cold and cunning, everyone knew to stay out of his way. He was the King's best personal Ranger, well till tonight. Halt, like many others, was human. He had a heart.

So when he brought in a tiny black bird with a broken wing, he had now clue that he was letting in his and his King's demise.

Cedric, the Magician, strached his head in thought. Slamming his head on his desk, he groaned. Wormy growled. "Oh shut it Wormy. If only I had that amulet, I- that's it!" Cedric rose his head so fast that he slammed his head right into Wormy's birdcage that had been right above him. "Sofia has magic training tonight after dinner! I'll confront her before she can scream for help! She'll never see it coming! Oh, I'm a genius! And, OWWWWWWW!" Cedric said, rubbing his head. Wormy rolled his eyes.
