It started out as a normal day for Marcus, however, he wasn't aware of how his day was going to change. As he was relaxing in the border town of Parshall, one of his friends came running up to the group he was with. The messenger quickly informed the group that there was a small convoy coming from the country of Gilmer.

Though they weren't a huge group, or an official army, they still felt compelled to act as "guards" to their country. And any convoy that passed through their checkpoint had to pay a price, either in gold or by loot. Marcus ran with the others to where the main road was. He started to get into his normal position behind their fearless leader, his hand on his bow with an arrow in it as they saw the small convoy approach.

Kira smiled at the beautiful day. Her father normally made her stay home all the time but this time she dressed as a guard and snuck out to see her country. she just turned of age and her father was already trying to get her married. she followed her father men. All of the sudden an arrow flew by her head. her horse bucked her off and the other horses ran off with the men on them she was now alone. she hid behind a tree trunk praying to dear life they would not find her.

Marcus listened to his boss try to negotiate a "fee" for the convoy's passage. The result wasn't very promising as the tempers flared on both sides. Though it wasn't anything unexpected, it was pretty much common for some people to be made examples of. The patience that Marcus was displaying became dull. As he raised his bow, he pulled back on the arrow, lining up his shot as he aimed at one of the guards.

Before the guards knew what had just happened, the arrow flew through the air, going quickly and silently to it's target. The intended target was the guard that was right next to Kira. He watched as he saw the other guard fall off. "What a rookie," he thought to himself as he started to target a few more of the guards. He watched as the rookie, as he imagined, scurried behind a tree trunk.

A few moments later, most of the guards were dead. The small group that Marcus was with had suffered a few casualties of two people. The remaining raiders went and searched for the new rookie that had gotten away. If the guard was lucky they might be able to still live and be a messenger for whoever sent them.

Kira tried to stay quite but her armor kept making noise. she heard the enemy talking and she thought she was in the clear one grabbed her. thank god she still had the helmet on. they threw her at Marcus's feet. she looked up at him. she noticed how good looking he was but shook her head. in her best male voice she asked." please let me go. we did nothing wrong sir."

Marcus told two of his friends to go check for any survivors. As they went to look around the area, Marcus and his boss, along with several others, started to loot the bodies of their gold and any possible weapons. "Shit," he said as they came across some of the things, "this is from the King's castle over at Ft. Collins. There definitely is stuff here that is worth a lot," he mentioned as he looked up. It was after that when he saw the two bringing back what looked like the only survivor.

"If you did nothing wrong than you would've paid the fee for crossing," he told Kira as she was begging for her life. "Why is the king transporting stuff to our country? Does he intend to start a war?" he asked as he looked over the guard, noting some of the other persons blood that hit her face from his first shot.

Marcus looked at one of the two men that had her. "Take off his armor and send him back to his pathetic country, to serve as a disgraced warning." He watched as they started to take off her helmet, not knowing what was underneath.

Kira panicked there is noway these guys can take off her armor then they would know who she was and kill her. she fought every step of the way as they took piece by piece off her." we were taking gold to the kings soon to be son in law the quickest way is through this path. now please let me go i have told you everything." she hoped this worked and that they would just let her go.

Marcus watched as his two colleagues started to take off Kira's armor. "When you go back, feel free to tell your king that we said 'thank you' for his generous donation," Marcus told her as the armor started to slowly come off.

After a few moments, Marcus stopped from counting the gold and noticed that their "prisoner" was a female. "What the hell?!?" he shouted as he started to notice. "The king's army can't even afford to have real men in his army?" he asked in a jesting tone.
