The assassin

Ch2

I moved through the darkness and undetected by those who were oblivious of my presence. My movements were quick and precise and no one was going to stop me from doing my dark mission. The only thing were the screams that were heard throughout the area and each scream made me cringe not knowing what they were doing to the poor soul who was being tortured. I found myself entering a clear part of the cave that which seemed to have nothing in it beside some random rocks and a large pillar in the dead center. I moved closer to the pillar and then noticed that behind it was a light that seemed to be coming from the wall behind it. Looking behind the pillar I moved myself closer to the light and noticed that it was coming from behind an old rickety doorway. Slowly I opened the door ajar and looked down at a flight of stairs that seem to reach no bottom.

Voices could be heard from the bottom of the stairs and then a second light began to show from the bottom. I moved quickly back behind the door and went behind the pillar that was in the center of the room. The light grew even stronger and the foot steps grew louder. "Soon the ritual will be complete and our lord will rise and rule these pitiful lands." This was strange but I was unsure of what to believe. " You know we must protect our lord he is not immortal until the moon rises so we must do our best to make sure nothing bad happens" another voice said " We must do our duty to our lord so we must prepare we need to head back to town to gather all the appropriate items for his arrival."

The light continued into the tunnel that I came from and this was my chance as I moved past the two and into the flight of stairs that was heading down into the darkness. I moved even further down the flight that seemed to go on forever. I finally came onto the bottom of the steps and saw four pillars and in the middle was an imperial man who was lying on the alter surrounded by deadric armor. I moved a few steps forward and then saw three figures next to this man. Two of them I saw had mages staffs strapped around there back and the other had a deadric claymore that seemed to shine with enchantments.

I couldn't see there faces because they lied in the darkness. I knew that I had to move in but did not know how without being seen. I looked around the room from were I was at and decided to take hiding behind one of the pillars. My movements were undetected for the most part but I kept getting the feeling as if the robed figure knew I was there. I came onto the pillar and sat watching in wait and noticed something odd about the two figures with mages staffs they seemed further than they once were. "Show yourself I know you're here!" the figure with the deadric claymore yelled. "You can not hide from me I know you're behind that pillar."

I could not understand how he new I was here. This was a first for me because I didn't expect to be found so easily. "You got me." I said out loud. I moved into the open and put my hand on my blade knowing I was in for a fight. The two figures pulled the mages staffs of there backs and pointed them at me. " before I have you killed tell me who are you that way I can remember what a pathetic opponent you are and I also want to know why you are here?" I looked at him and gave a small growl "I am Ren Shalvar and I am here to kill you." The man laughed and then gave me a stern look. "Kill him." The man replied.
