Unknown location.
17 years ago.
A women is walking through a large hallway in what looks to be some kind of castle. The high ceiling is iluminated by torches on stands along the wall while sinister darkish lights flow from a large window covering the whole left hand side of the hallway.
The women seems to be a bit in a rush according to the quick ticking of heels on the stone floor.
"O why do the lords have to call a meeting while I am buisy" the women mutters sounding annoyed before trowing open a large door at the end of the hallway that leads to a circular room with an arch in the middle of it.
That arch is - of course a portal but ignoring the portal the women first walks to the wall wich is actually one giant mirror covering the whole wall from floor to ceiling.

I hate it when I don't have time to atleast freshen up. She is looking at the mirror and sees her long black hair, pale skin with a darkish tint, black eyes with a reddish tint and her biggest problem at the moment: mascara wich is smeared all over her face in dark lines.
let's straiten up my dress and let's go, they will have to deal with my appearance it's their own fault. The women looks down at her dress for a few seconds. While being a bit dirty it still looks beautiful. It is a black dress with a tight fitting bodice full of accents in the form of small dragons and skulls. The dress has short sleeves, straps across her shoulders and a skirt that seemlessly flows from the bodice to just down her knees. Going to clean up when I am back...
Looking at the portal the women raises her right hand and begins chanting a spell.
A red flame engulfs her left hand while she chants and with a loud crackling sound the portal in the arch opens.
mmm black magic, lovely as always.
"Gaurds!" the women shouts and in a split second two skeletons dressed in armor covered by cloaks around them and a halberd in their bony hands appear. "You know the drill." The women says before walking through the portal.

Doomwood forrest.
Present day.
O well look at me scouting a scouting party while they're scouting around like the scouts they are... Probaly counter-scouting.
Bec is laying in a bush twenty-five meters away from two men clad in black clothes covered with dark-green spots. Lovely camouflage should get some for my scouts... They appear to be holding some kind of spyglass. Mmm probaly enchanted to let other people tag along, meaby even a commander.
Bec starts creeping towards the two, like a cat stalks through the bushes. The men are looking the other way so this isn't the hardest thing in the world.
The first thing I hear when I get close is one of the men whispering to the spyglass.
"Yes baroness they seem to be focussing on siege equipment, My guess is they will try to punch through to Lightgaurd keep."
If only he knew how right he was. While he was whispering I have moved to a crouched position and have aimed the tip of my blade towards his heart.
"I would suggest getti..." A chocking sound leaves the scouts lips with a wave of blood after I rammed the tip of my sword through his heart.
only one left to the right.
The other scout rolls from his prone position onto his back and tries to grab the dagger at his side but before he gets a chance the longsword bites into his shoulder.
One two three...
The man grabs the blade with both hands and tries to rip it out while keeping his lips shut.
Four five six...
His hands get bloody from the sharp blade and he screams loud.
"Thank you very much." I say before I slice the sword further down into his heart.
Suddenly other scouts in the same outfit jump up from their prone positions around my location including one bald man with a beard who looks in his mid-thirties.
Alof or something like that was his name, my scouts reported him as one of the more senior commanders... This should be good.
"Surrender now." The bald man speaks up. "Before we will be forced to cut you down."
"Nah." Is my bored response. "You see I do like this little ambush of yours but it is a bit... Well how do I say it... Predictable."
Behind the scouts skeletons rise up from the ground and Edward appears from behind a tree, severely outnumbering the scouts.
"You see your little ambush walked into my bigger ambush." I continue with a bored expression on my face. "And now its my turn." I speak up with a smirk.
"Surrender."
"No." The bald man replies and another circle of scouts appears around the skeletons outnumbering them."
"O just fuck off already." I respond with a roll of my eyes. "You know. I still have a little appointment this afternoon and I don't really feel like being late."
I fucking hate my job.
Another ring of skeletons appears behind the new ring of scouts outnumbering them once again.
"Just lets get on with it before this forrest gets too crowded." I say to the bald man before drawing my longsword from the dead man and gripping the blade at the middle with my heavily reinforced left gauntlet, especially designed to hold the sharp blade without cutting the hand.
The bald man also draws his sword.
"Lets dance." I say with a smirk.
I have barely spoken the words before chaos ensues around me.
Skeletons get crushed by swords shattering the bones on impact. I see one of my minions holding down a soldier while another one bites him in the juggular while he is still screaming and struggling. I also see Edward cutting one of the soldiers in two, the entrails trailing along the ground.
But I have another problem in front of me in form of the bald-headed black-bearded commander Alof.
Mmm lets capture him. Bec thinks before rushing at him and slamming the longsword with force against his opponents sword, making Alof stagger back before continueing the assault by kicking the right knee of his opponend down so he is knealing on his right knee before slamming him down to the ground with the crossgaurd of his longsword to the side of the head.
"O please get the fuck up." The Evil commander says with an annoyed tone as the bald man tries to push himself up from the ground.
"Is this what they promote to commanders these days?"
"You know." Bec says before putting his foot on the back of the bald man and pushing him back into the dirt. "You are lucky I need some intelligence from you."
"Because I would have killed a weakling like you otherwise."
The fighting has died down around them as the scout party had been crushed.
"Pick up this piece of garbage and lets return to the camp."

Vidalja Force HQ
Present time.
"That useless piece of trash!" I scream before trowing the mirror that was connected to the spyglass off my desk and shattering it.
"That guy just knocked him down in one go!" I knew I should have gotten someone more usefull.
The baroness had just started breaking down one of the chairs in front of her desk when Alice and two gaurds walked in.
"Hey Sophie you don't look too happy." The pyromancer says before turning her head to one of the gaurds and hissing: "Get a prisoner over hear to ease her mind before she breaks the place down."
Why o why does she always have to be so violent...
"If you would please put that chair down already before you break it!"
Thank god those chairs are sturdy.
Sophie now finally notices her friend. "I have to send you out next if they can't get me any decent commanders." She says before slamming the chair down on top of the desk, breaking it.
Alice cringes.
But thank god the gaurds drag a prisoner in the tent. (some lowlife deserter)
"Thanks Alice." Sophie says with a sigh of relieve before turning to the gaurds: "Put his right hand on the bureau."
I love executions. Sophie thinks before grabbing her sword of the table.
With a grin on my face I spin around and chop of the hand in a single motion, enjoying the feeling of my sword slicing through bone.
A pained scream leaves the mans lips as he retracts what's left of his right arm. While blood streams from the stump, turning the wood of the desk red.
I then grab the back of his head and ram my sword through his neck.
I love my job.
