Threw the trees a man walks down a dirt path. a cloaked figure crouches among the bushes along the side of the dirt path. The man is a little ways off whistling. "Meow." A ginger cat is sitting beside the figure. The cat looks up at the cloaked figure a soft pale face is seen under the hood of the cloak. A finger is raised to soft smiling pink lips. "Its time to get to work Kasmo. You stay here this time, OK?" The cat looks back up to the pale face and nodes. Then turns back to watch the man draw rear. The hooded figure stands up and stumbles out of the bushes. "help. Help me kind sir. I was attacked by a horrible beast back there." Falling to the ground the man runs over to the figure on the ground to help. He pulls back the hood to see a young girl with long brown hair and pale skin. "are you OK young lady? Whats your name?" the girl sits up "My name...My name is Naomi." The man looks around for some sort of help. The girl looks up seeing her chance. She draws out a small sword from her belt. As the man turns back to her she smiles and lunges for his throat. Blood spatters the dirt path and the mans body lays unnaturally still in the center of the path. Naomi stands up and wipes the sword with a cloth and places the sword back it her belt. "OK Kasmo you can come out now." Kasmo runs out of the bushes and jumps on her shoulder. Naomi pulls a small journal from the inside of her cloak. She scratches out a name and replaces the journal into the pocket. She pulls the cat off her shoulder and holds him in her arms. The cat lets out a soft purr as he begins to play with a loss string on the sleeve of the cloak. "OK Kasmo lets head for town. We can stay in the INN tonight with the money we got from killing this guy. That and i think it might rain." She put the cat onto the ground and they headed out of the woods. As they entered the town there were very few people hanging around outside. Most of them being drunks. |

Today was a rather quiet day and it seemed a bit odd when Robin walked through the forest. He hadn't met anyone almost the whole day, nor had he heard the usual hustle-bustle of the forest animals doing their daily chores. However, he knew that if something was wrong, the trees would have told him something by now. Shrugging it off, Robin looked up, getting the dark green hood to fall off. The cloak he was wearing was a tad too long, making it rub against the ground. Robin liked to walk, rather than let his hippogriff fly him around here and there or running. Walking let him just take in his surroundings. A small grin was placed on his face, that was until he saw a man laying in the middle of the road. Confused, Robin kneeled by him and shook the body, as if trying to wake him. However, the man would not wake up and when he turned his body over, Robin noticed that he had been stabbed. Sighing, Robin got up and swished his hand through the air. Suddenly, tree roots from the ground gently covered the body, and then nothing seemed to be there except for a mound of roots. Now, he thought, he might as well get a bit more serious. Robin looked around, and then realized that there was town near here and so, with his super speed, ran to the town and stopped before a local.
"Excuse me, ma'am. Is there anyone or anything strange here? Anything new that you might have seen?" Robin's voice was gentle, but urgent. The old woman looked up, and was about to say something when she noticed that he had a crown on his head. It was an enchanted crown that was only allowed the ones of kings and princes to wear it. It was quite dazzaling, but in a subtle way. It was a woven crown with small golden leaves on and it gave off a slight glow to it when shining in the sun. The woman gaped at first, then bowed. Robin laughed but let her speak. "N-no your majesty. But... there was this girl with a cat. Usually, no one brings their pets into town since there are many drunks." Her voice gradually got smaller as she shyly pointed in the direction that she say her. Robin smiled and thanked her as well as giving a few gold coins. She thanked him generously as he walked away.
The lady pointed towards the Inn, but it wasn't that hard to spot the girl with the cat. He smiled to himself, thinking that she was clearly young, but age was sometimes just a cover up. Robin ran right in front of her and stopped until he was just inches away. "Are you the one that killed the guy out there? I don't appreciate it when people get killed in the forest and then are left to rot." Robin's voice was a bit sarcastic but still light. He leaned on his staff as he waited patiently for an answer. |

Naomi came racing down the stairs to the main lobby of the INN when a man steps deliberately in front of her blocking her way to the door. "Are you the one that killed the guy out there? I don't appreciate it when people get killed in the forest and then are left to rot." the man said standing just a little to close to her face. he leaned forward on his staff. then Naomi looked at the crown upon his head. "OH, your Majesty!" Naomi took a deep bow. Kasmo looks up and meows at the man and bows like his master. Naomi stands strait again and looks him in the eyes, "What reason would i have to kill a man. I'm just a traveler from the desert. What would i have against a man here?" Kasmo meows again. "Shh, can't you see we're talking Kasmo. I am so sorry about him. He doesn't like it when i talk to strangers. I should be going nice to meet you.
She stretches on her tiptoes and dances around the man. "Good bye have a nice day your majesty." |

Her reaction was something he wasn't expecting. A bright smile appeared on Robin's face as he watched her little act, and thought that that wasn't suspicious at all. He gave a little chuckle at the girls cat as it bowed to, and then thought that he might something like that because he looked quite loyal. However, Robin waited until she was done, but the girl seemed to have other plans since she finished talking and walked off so fast. Slightly bewildered, Robin turned around and caught up to the girl and lightly grabbed her arm to turn her around. "Yea, see. I don't believe that act one bit. Trees talk to me, so you can't very well hide secrets in the forest from me." Robin winked at her and put his hand over her shoulder to lead her out of the inn. People were starting to stare and he wasn't one to be in the limelight. Once outside, Robin took his arm away and stared at the girl. "I would like to know your reasoning for killing him please." Robins face was completely serious. |
