Chapter 4
Assassins
Dileena crept around the corner of the building, peered around in the darkness. It was safe so she quietly and swiftly walked over to the door. She picked the lock with her nimble fingers and entered the room. She crept upstairs with utter silence. She heard snoring in the next room over. She entered it and saw the chest of gold, she was in Old Man Krail's house the richest guy in the area. The chest was heavy she accidentally dropped it.
"Clutz," Dileena said to her self.
Then she heard a yawn and the old man got out of bed.
"Huh? Who is it?"
He lit a candle.
"Get out of here!" Old Man Krail yelled at Dileena.
"Oh shut up," Dileena said and finally picked up the chest.
Krail was charging at Dileena with a dagger.
"Oh, puhhleese," Dileena said casting Cloak of Shadows. Krail stopped confused. Dileena dropped the heavy chest out the window. Her father caught it and struggled to hold it, he wasn't expecting the heaviness. Dileena pounced out the window and landed lightly, barely making a sound. Dileena and her father took off down the road. Dileena's father opened a trapdoor in the ground. Dileena hoped in and followed by her father.
"Good job Di," her father complimented out of breath.
"You're getting too old for this, father," Dileena said.
"Yeah, well I was spying on the mayor with him government guys. He said Neclitor, the lord of all Necromancers will be attacking this city."
"What do we care?" Dileena asked. "If the city is under attack and everybody dies all the riches will be ours!"
"Well, I guess your right," her dad replied.
"Let's see what we got!" Dileena exclaimed and picked the lock and opened the chest.
There, sparkling before them were gems and gold. It took a while to count it, they had 10,784 gold pieces, two flawed emeralds, one perfect topaz, four sapphires, eight chipped amethysts, three flawless rubies, two perfect diamonds, and 5 chipped skulls. Dileena's favorite, oddly enough, were the skulls.
"Yes, Skulls!" Dileena exclaimed as she strung them from her belt where there were 7 others.
Her father preferred rubies. In a few more minutes they went off to sleep.

When they awoke it was early in the day. Dileena pushed open the trap door and climbed out. She went over to the market and bought a biscuit. She munched it down quickly. She peered down the street and saw fighters assembling. Was this what her father was talking about? Is Neclitor gonna attack now?
"What are those warriors doing over there?" Dileena asked the shopkeeper.
"They are preparing for and assault, I suggest that you should get inside," He said.
Dileena ran down the street and peered into the trapdoor. Her father was no where to be found. He saw the warriors charging. The people were entering their houses. She saw her father in a building talking to an armorer in a building behind the charging warriors. The skeletons broke through them began charging through the city in her father's direction.
"FATHER!" Dileena yelled, "RUN!"
Her father turned around and saw the skeletons charging. He immediately took off running. One grabbed him and stopped others passed in front of it. He heard her father's scream. Tears began to fill Dileena's eyes. The skeletons got closer, she ran in the other direction. Skeletons were coming in that direction too. She stopped, cornered. She got an idea. She began to climb the building next to her. When she was at the top she cast Cloak of Shadows and tossed three Wake of Fire traps. She heard bones clattering on the ground. Then the blackness cleared many skeletons were dead. She jumped down and entered her trapdoor and snatched as much gold and gems that she could fit in her pack. She went back out and was grabbed on the arm by a skeleton. She swerved around and kicked it. Its bones shattered. She threw some Lightning Sentry Traps and took off running. She would find Neclitor and slay him for her father.
