Chapter 1: Betrayal
1652: a Small hamlet Outside london
Moonlight tore through the treetops, merciless in its assault making the wet leaves on the topsoil glisten. A small blonde man stood upon the doorstep, glancing from side to side he banged six times urgently upon the closed door with clenched fists. ' Let me in!' he cried, seconds later a click issued from the other side and the scrape of latch being undone, when the door opened a women appeared in the door the woman possesed long brown hair and deep youthfull brown eyes she was just about 20 give or take a few years and this was reflected in the smoothness and freshness of her skin. When she recognised the Blonde man she stood to the side and let him in. ' My darling, your back!, come sit down.' she purred, he then replied in a unusually raspy tone 'Yes love just a moment, come in my brothers!' at this word two pairs of cloaked men burst through the door and before the women could even express her surprise and terror so was knocked to the ground and dragged to the nearby drawing room and a fifth man strode in and stopped before the blonde man he was tall and dark haired and carried himself with a self assured almost regal bearing. ' You have done well Lucius, and as promised the payment.' 'Thank you My lord' The dark haired man then placed a small coin purse into Lucius' hand. A small cry of unmeasurable terror escaped the drawing room and a head poked around the wall ' You coming Hal?' ' Yes I am coming Good evening Lucius.' Hal replied striding towards the drawing room. Now dismissed Lucius left through the front door, closed it and walked into the cold looking down at the coin-purse he wondered if it was worth it and purging himself of his previous emotions realised it was.
