."Four Of you move to the right, and four you stand by left, remaining assist me. Now let us see how these little lambs can escape from us," A hoarse voice resounded in a middle of forest. "Yes, Sir Han," In the command of their leader all the bandits moved into the positions as ordered. If one were to think that this may be predators hunting for animals, please let me assure you that it is NOT. If words were need to describe this perfectly and only one may fit well and that is INHUMAN. Because it is a man hunting another man, and for this poor lonely forest to witness such scene may not the first and no one know will this be last one either.
In middle of the forest three people where been surrounded by foul men who were eying-them with grin as they licked their trusty lips for blood. Seeing that they were under attack their situation completely thrown into chaos. And the name of this chaos is "Sir Han"
Sir Han, the name its self, may not be unfamiliar to the merchants and travelers of the five great kingdoms, including Ravendra. There is no end for the count as how his hands drenched in cold blood of innocents in this dark forest. But, that's all in the past, no one can forget the fact of where he hid tail-in-between-his-legs and fled when he could not take his enemy down whose still wet-in-behind-his-ears. For him he is superior of all and unbeatable but reality struck him hard enough to loose his senses completely. The day when he had to flee was the day, he lost his face as the cruelest living two-legged beast.
(Av; - And it seems you still having nightmares of it but trying to brag like you care nothing of it? Hmm... pretentious)
It's real a surprise to find him out to show off his color's so quickly like nothing happened but when he made his appearance it conformed without seeing any proofs to everyone that Lee Ra is dead that's how Sir Han had enough guts to break out of his cocoon shell where he is been hiding all these time. Oh, there may be something backing him to muster up the courage to pull out his blade, as done by an information which states the news of his death. One man who can give shivers to Sir Han even with just a thought of him.
(Iv; - Hmm, that darn brat although I had a hard time because of him but I should say he is really something just with tiny experience he was able stir such a commotion. But that is all in the past and by now he might have devoured by some beast... hee-hee...)
A weird smile surfaced on Sir Hans face as he said "Brat be happy in the heaven that you got praised by this Sir Han. You sure got lucky by dying a painless death." Sir Han whispered as he stepped forward, Now come on, please do not make this hard on yourselves. My says are for your own goodness so, please handover everything you got on you."
Sir Han and his men blocked every path possible of escape. As surrounded by the bandits the three travelers moved close and as they stared at each other an unconcealable determination flashed through the eye's each man, they drew their swords to protect themselves.
Seeing them holding swords the Sir Han said "Well, its a surprise seeing those toy's... Oh! Sorry were they used by beginners to train if so these swords in those hands, are nothing but as if you are putting up a show for our entertainment, I appreciate the thought, but please drop your weapons and surrender your puny pathetic life's." Sir Han said as he moved a step closer, but for his surprises they are not just for show.
"Whoosh"
Wind blew calmly in the forest along leaving the noises of heavy breathing, not soon a dirty smirk appeared on the face of Sir Han as the three travelers stood in the middle of his men holding their feet barley on the ground. Never would they have thought this day may come where they must fight to barely hold up their feet and further more who is this Sir Han? (Iv; -What about that man who we were looking for? Do this Sir Han work for him? What is going on?)
These are question of which they can not find answers at the movement no matter how much they think of it and further more they need to escape from these blood sucking humans to a safe place than they may think of plan on what to do next. While these thoughts kept running back and forth in his head of the young man in the middle who appears to be the leader.
If these three men were no ordinary one's as Sir Han had encountered or perhaps hunted in the past who ventured deep into their territory without being cautious of there destination. They are here to find a person but no concern of Sir Han.
"Clang... clang..." Metal clashed with each other, both parties fought more than ten minutes and gradually the trio were fell in disadvantage as they pushed into a death corner.
Blood continuously dripping out on the dried leaves. They were heavily injured in their previous bout with Sir Han and his men. But eventually the had the win and these three men nearing their end. one of the three decided to be a decoy so that his friends could make it out.
"Oh My, why are you so desperate to escape my little kitty's? We just wanted to help you. Sir Han took another step forward, when an arrow went past his right cheek. It too fast where he could not judge it presence but soon a wetness on his cheek made him aware of it happening. Sir Han's heart filled with furry at his own failure to judge the attack and who got enough guts to launch an attack on him. But still within his heart he felt a sense of danger and an urge to runaway form this place as soon as possible but why? Why does he want to do so? He never had such feeling since back then...?
(Iv; -Could? Could this be? No, it can not be true...? This cannot be happening...? That per... person conformed that he is dead, right...? Then...?)
Sir Han's hunch was not a wrong one, he was entity who ruled Ravendra forest for twenty years' but eventually had succumb before a young-ling whose age barely twenty. And that was a miserable defeat too. Knowing that the nightmare which hunted him gone he could wait any longer and gathered his men while looking for some toys to have some fun he found three men with heavy luggage.
When Sir Han was in loss for words due to his fears, many arrows fled in every possible direction. Very soon the entire area within few meters punctured with arrows.
