"Vengance" (Outskirts of Greenhill) Dusk had arrived, and Kinnison had jut made it to Greenhill, unfortunately the city closed at night, leaving him to sleep outside. Fortunately, it was a warm night, and he was able to stay warm with Shiro, but his sleep was cut off when a horde of bandits assembled on the other side of the entrance. Kinnison dropped on all fours and sneaked up and listened in on them from behind a bush, the bandits were gathered around. The Bald Muscular Man in the middle appeared to be their leader, around him was a young man dressed in black holding a long slender tube which Kinnison had never seen. The Third was a Women who appeared to be a ninja assassin from what Kinnison could tell. Finally the last was large, one-eyed man who kept a large sword at his side, after listening in, he managed to fins out that the leader was Balanth, the woman was Secily, the Caped one was Moore, and the large man was Fudd. Since he hadn't been able to make out anything they were saying, he slowly approached them as Secily was speaking. "I refuse" the Female Ninja replied "It is dishonorable to take over a village this way" "Hmmph" Moore let out " I suppose you would rather ask to have a hand to hand combat with Lady Teresa" "Yeah right" Fudd blurted out "That Shin fellow wouldn't let you touch a single hair on her body". And they all knew he was right, any stranger who so much as glanced at Teresa funny, Shin would consider a threat, or at least that's what they thought. "Enough" Balanth growled furiously "Master Talrick ordered us to capture Teresa swiftly so me could ransom her to either the Highland or City-State" "That's a terrible idea" Moore said disgustedly "Who cares about her, she's not even the real mayor, I say we take that Makai wuss from Two River, this place isn't no fighting place, it's a Blasted School for petes sake" "Yeah, even Granmeyer from South Window would be better" Fudd said in agreement. "Well then, would you rather take the chance here, or tell Talrick that his plan is a flop" Balanth replied as the moonlight glistened in his cold eyes. Moore and Fudd quickly quieted down and consented, however Secily's Rokkaku Heritage practically screamed otherwise as she glared at Fudd, Moore and Balanth unapprovingly. "Capturing Political Figures is not what I consider Hono----" Secily began, but quickly stopped and scanned the area "Someone is watching us" Kinnison stepped back and ran over to Shiro, but fell victim as a gunshot rammed into his right shoulder. "Good Job Moore, wake up the whole city why dontcha" Fudd said angrily as he grabbed the gun away "We better back to base, and we best take the kid and the mutt along as well" "To late, their already here, leave him" Balanth hollered as he ran off with the other three behind him. A Soldier quickly ran through the raising gate and fired a few arrows, but his arrows missed due to the lack of light. The soldier prepared to return, but stopped as Kinnison let a painful moan out. The Soldier quickly dropped his bow and quiver of arrows and dragged Kinnison and Shiro in the city and closed the gates. "Avenge me" A Dark Figure said, Kinnison ran to it but found himself falling, falling in a dark void. He turned to his right, there a Woman stood sating "Avenge me." He recognized the woman, it was the woman he saw in his dream with the child, he began to run away from there and met another man, who seemed like Gregorio only deathly pale, Gregorio replied out "Avenge me" "But I don't vengeance, I want peace" Kinnison argued, even though his mouth made no movement to speak. Turning around once more he ran into Toto Village, yet it was restored to it's former beauty. He soon found himself surrounded by villagers all looking at him with empty eyes, each one of them crying out. "Avenge me" they cried "Avenge us all" "I can't, I'm not up to it" Kinnison replied as he tried to back away from hem, bumping into Gregorio, the woman from his dream and the other Dark Man. He panicked and ran, and ran until he neared a burning house, the house burned yet didn't fall or completely burn up. He neared the house, but felt a slight warmth from it instead of a blinding heat he would expect. Kinnison walked in the house, and saw a man standing there, in his eyes, the fire reflected dancing even worse that what it really was. In his hands he held a long twisted sword, the hilt had the head of a fiery dragon ready to kill. His pointy blonde hair appeared to be as sharp a daggers and his arms were as thick as a Oak tree. The Man turned to Kinnison and rumbled a laughter. "Avenge them, have their vengeance through me!" The man laughed "Avenge them all, I, Talrick am the one you want" Kinnison hesitated, and puled a fine arrow from his quiver, the arrow pulled back on the bow string, ready to fire but before it even moved away two inches, Talrick sliced a fine crescent into Kinnison's cheek. Kinnison stood up and began to charge as everything went dark.
