"Fortes fortuna adiuvat"

Latin Proverb, Fortune favors the brave.

"Now boy, do you have any regrets left before you meet the death God?"

Aiden of Millescent could not believe what was about to happen to him. All cause he could not keep his friend in his pants. Now come on how was he supposed to know that the women who had look lascivious at him and made nice propositions about bedding was actually married. Yes, he should have look closer at her ring hand but still he had an excuse and that been he was very drunk. Now the husband of the woman was about to push him at the end of the high cliff and all Aiden could do was pray to the Goddess for a miracle.

"Now dear sir, I am very sorry for what happen back there and I ask for you to give me another chance. I treasure my life and I have surely learned from this past mistake. So please, please I beg of you to consider and think what you are about to do."

Aiden look at the man, who had such a horrible smell which clearly pointed out that it had been days since his last bath and was surprised to see him smile, well he thought it was smile since the man didn't had so many tooth's. Aiden knew right then that he was going to be forgiven, since not only the man had loosened his grip on him. Then his smile turn into a fierce snarl and that was when Aiden felt himself fall.

"Hope you have a nice trip!"

He could only just here laughs and he prepared for his horrible descending. Until he slam against water instead of hard soil or rocks. When surface he found himself in another place and he somehow knew that he was no longer in the out stretches of Tortall but in a different country. He decided to step out of the river he had landed and come face to face with the arm woman. He raised his hands and just about felt his heart died.

"Who the bollocks are you and what are you doing in my father's lands?"

He look straight at her and thought of the fastest way to disarm her. If he could use his gift to paralyze her, then maybe he could just take the bow and arrow from her grasp without even hurting her. He was about to speak the word, when she took him by surprised and knock him out. Making this terrible day, turn horribly wrong.

XOXOXOXO

Jane could not believe what had just happen, one moment she was bathing alone in the river and the next thing she sees a man coming out of the skies to fall straight into the river. She thought it to be a joke, but when she saw the weird stranger, come out of the water she leap out and ran to get her bow and arrow. Then the man had the nerve of thinking to disarm her and that was when she had lost it. Now as he lay unconscious on the floor, she didn't know what to do with him. If she took him to her father, he would surely get angrier with her and then she would be in deep trouble. Now if she didn't took him to her father and took him to someplace else, by the end of the day everyone would know and so would her father too. It was lose-lose situation, she sigh and rose from where she was seated and decided to take him to the keep. Since the faster she took him, the faster everything would be done.

She whistle to her mare and after cleaning and leaving no trail behind, she used her gift for lifting the man in to her mare's back, after she settle in her mare's back she gave one last rundown look to the place and kick her mare into a gallop. Little did she know that she was been follow and watch.

XOXOXOXO

The stranger hiding in the woods watch the girl look around and kick her mare into a full gallop. He could smell her lavender perfume and almost felt himself go after her, but he held in restraint watching as the beast he was tracking follow the girl. That was his opportunity to run after the creature, which had killed so many people. He knew it to be of the dark places of the underworld. Something that shouldn't be roaming mortal lands, as he watched the creature about to leap to attack the girl who was oblivious to it, he reach for the arrow and his bow, he took aim at the monster's back.

"Great Mother Goddess, bless be." Whispering those last words, he shot the arrow which hit the monster's head. He used his power to reach the monster and watched its body disappearing and uniting itself with the earth. He look at the retreating blond mane of the girl and inhale the air which carry the scent of lavender, but most of all the scent of blood.
