Thread: An Angelic Crusade(ShyonexCannon)

It was a very foggy dawn as the sun was just starting to break over the horizon. The town was really just starting to wake up, but the lurkers of the night had yet to really go away. The town was a pretty decent size, and could be considered to have a population of at least 5000, though it was just not big egough for a major fort to be put nearbye, or to have any other than the checkpoint that was two miles down the road. It was through this fog that a young man came into view. It was very well obvious, that he had not exactly had the best of times on his jounry to this city. His clothes where worn, and he was dirty, but one only needed to look closer to see that this was really all that was worng with him. Andol's lithe frame that held up his pale body, was caused by hunger, and it wasn't the way he naturaly was... well not completely anyway. He hadn't been able to get much food, and certianly not the type his body was used to. He had a little bit form a odd job he had worked resently. Yet this was all that he was able to get with this money. He saved it for food, so his clothing had been neglected. Yet to Andol, the clothing was completely unimprotant... the fact that he was alive mattered more. If he was dead... then the prince would never be able to get his kingdom back, plus the more ragged looking clothes would hopefully discrouge any robbers that may try to take his money sinice they might not think that he would be worth there time, sinice he did not look like he had anything. Yet tonight there where three men who had a bit more than just money on there minds, plus the fact that Andol looked like he would not be missed made him a esay target. They where slavers, but sometimes they like to get a little fun out of there slaves first..... Andol made his first mistake that really attracted these men when they saw him drop his money sack and a few coins spilled out onto the ground. This was all the encouragement that they needed, and soon began to follow him. It did not take Andol long to notice the men that where tailing after him, he tried to quicken his pace, but they quickened theres to macth his. He was hungry at the moment and really did not have much energy. He looked back again and noticed one of the three men where gone. He then turned to look ahead of himself and there the other man was, heading in his direction. It did not take but a second and Andol found himself being herded down a back alley which had a dead end. The young man quickly turn, becuase he knew now was when he had to fight. Just as the men stopped suddenly one of them froze in there tracks... the other two men look at him... and noticed that there friend now had a dagger sticking out of his eye. They looked back at Andol who was holding in his hand two daggers. The prince knew that it was probably going to take less energy to just throw the daggers than try and fight with them... so he hoped to kill the men before they go to close... Yet they moved in very quickly and he missed with the only other throw he was able to get off. As they tackled him to the ground, the young man struggled to get away. It was obvious that even like this, he was stronger than he looked... and plus he undieing fire about him. He wasn't going to die here. He had a kingdom to retake. Of course a couple days without sleep and quite a few missed meals would generally weaken a person. It was starting to have that effect on Andol, and he wasn't sure how much longer he could keep this up....
