persecution

the village was scene to look at horrible in all ways as the explosion killed many and fire engulfed the rest.

Assasson had finally convinced everyone to go and now they saw the whole village burning Peter started trying to get close to help out.

"Assasson you idiot why did you be a hero!"

Peter rushed on quickly burning himself as he got too close

"Stop it's too late!" Johnathan was trying to hold Peter off as everyone else stood in horror waiting for the nightmare to end.

soon the flames got higher as the remaining village went to cinder's, and the smoke got so high and thick that a small band of soldiers that had been on patrol started running up towards the village.

it was horrific.

the cries of the dieing were everywhere from women to children and all the soldiers and men trapped in a burning coffin.

the soldiers watched and suddenly a knife flew out of the fire and hit one of them in the neck between his armor, then emerging from the flame came a dark figure the fires seemed to empower him as it walked around and behind him granting him alone passage from harm.

it was dressed in black with a hood and face mask, it walked towards them while slowly unsheathing a dagger from it's belt the scene was scary and most of the men ran at seeing this while two stayed to fight.

the figure threw the dagger into the other man with a sickening *Thunk* sound and the man slowly fell to his one nee struggling to live and finally toppled to the ground.

now the remaining man took off as fast as possible but while he was running he heard a voice yelling

"Peter throw me a bow mine obviously burned up you dunse!"

as he turned quickly he saw the dark figure draw a arrows and send it towards him h felt a sharp pain in his back as his body quit working, soon he felt a tug on his back and his assailant turned him over and showed his face.

it was Assasson in all his shining glory he had put on some kind of flame proof gear at the last minute before the show now he was getting ready to kill this final person he had so quickly hunted like some poor animal, the last thing this poor soul saw was the same dagger that killed his friend stabbing down on him.

***

Peter had been so worried about Assasson he could only hit him now that they were done.

"Oww! hey what's that about!" | Assasson

"don't scare me again or I'll kill you myself!" Peter would have seemed terrifying if it weren't for the tears in his eyes.

Assasson felt guilty for scaring his friend but didn't know what to say so he kept it simple

"Boys we just defeated an army now we have to either hide or force them to come for us!"

there was a slight pause but soon the answer was clear.

"let them come we will bushwhack every road and supply routes they have all through this land!"

this voice was Johnathan only now he had a look of amusement as he knew they would most likely be hunted down and killed like rats.

so they sealed their fate and started getting ready for their next fireworks display.
