Hencewood

Zuhn removed the knife from his neck and stood up. Zuhn looked down at Scar. Zuhn just stared at him till he got up.

"As I said, your new name is going to be Scar."

Scar slowly nodded his head started to walk towards the dirt road.

"Kid, where do you think you are going?"

Scar looked back behind him, "I'm going to walk back to town."

"No, First I need you to go look for some White Roses."

Scar's face turned into a confused mess.

"Once you find the White Roses put them on each and everybody. I'll be waiting here till you are done."

Scar nodded his head and started to go out to the forest to find some White Roses. Scar walked for around twenty minutes before he came across some White Roses.

White Roses? Why put roses on dead bodies…

Scar picked up around 10 white roses and walked back to where his old friends laid. He walked around putting one flower on each of the bodies, before looking back at Zuhn.

Zuhn was laying in the grass, he was staring up at the sky. He looked like he was relaxed after what just happened.

Scar had five flowers left and brought them over to Zuhn. When Zuhn saw Scar come back with extra flowers he looked at him weirdly.

"Why do you have extra flowers?"

Scar looked down at the flowers he had in his hands.

"For other people that you may kill on our way to the town."

Zuhn jumped up and walked over to Scar. He knocked the white roses on the floor.

"I only use freshly picked roses, go throw those away."

Scar jumped up at the speech and quickly ran away. He threw the remaining roses into a pod and moved back to Zuhn.

"Now, Where is the town?" Scar looked towards the dirt road.

"Alright, Let's get going."

A man wearing shiny metal armor rode up to the lead horse. The lead horse was wearing a full golden set of armor. On top was a man also wearing a full set of gold armor. He also had a golden sword on his waist.

"Sir! The scouts report that they found several dead teens on the side of the road!"

The man in gold looked over to the man, "So?"

"Sir, I understand that too, but each of the teens has a white rose on each one of their bodies."

The man in gold made a weird expression, "Bring me to them."

The man in gold and the man next to him made their way over to the scene.

When the men arrived they saw one of the boy's hands were cut off, several throats cut.

These teens were killed by a professional.

"These teens must have tried to rob the wrong person. But, why would the killer leave behind a white rose?"

"Sir, maybe it's a symbol?"

The man in gold nodded his head, "Did the men find anything on the teens that could help us identify them?"

"Yes, It looks like these kids tried to pretend to be apart of Rascal Bandit Group."

"Rascal Bandit Group, huh? These kids must have been courting death."

The golden man returned to the dirt road and continued to ride to Hencewood.

Zuhn and Scar have been walking for several hours and reached the top of a hill. Down below was a bustling town. There were all sorts of people, people with long ears. People with tails, there was very weird people in the town.

"People with tails?"

Scar looked up at Zuhn, "You don't have half-humans where you come from?"

Zuhn shook his head, "Nope."

"Well, Mr. This town has all sorts of species in it. There are three factions, Humans, Elves, and Half-Humans."

Zuhn started to think to himself, 'Just what kind of place did I come too.'

Behind the two there was a man in a full gold set of armor, his horse was also in a set of armor. Behind them was multiple wagons containing what looked like soldiers and slaves.

"Who are they?" Zuhn nodded over to the Golden man.

"That man in the Baron's son. He is known to go around to other major cities and capture and buy slaves then bring them back here to work in the Iron mines."

Zuhn and Scar stopped on the top of the hill and watched the golden man ride inside the town. The guards didn't even stop them, just opened the gate for them.

The guards all let out a breath after the golden man entered the gates. They slowly started to close the gates, by the time Zuhn and Scar arrived.

"Stop! Let me see your ids!"

Scar dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper and handed it to the guard.

The guard looked over at Zuhn, "I said, let me see your id."

Scar panicked for a second, "Uh, Sir. This man is new and doesn't have an idea yet."

The guard took a second glance at Scar then back up at Zuhn. He turned around and motioned for the other guards to walk over.

"That will be 2 silver, for your ID and the process needed to make it." The guard held out his hand to Zuhn, Zuhn looked down at Scar.

Scar dug into his pockets and pulled out two silver coins, and gave it to the guard. The guard walked back to the wall and got a piece of paper.

"What is your name?" The guard looked at Zuhn.

"Zuhn"

"Zuhn, what? What is your last name?"

Zuhn looked back at the guard, "It's just Zuhn."

The guard just nodded his head, "Okay, 'Just Zuhn' it is."

The guard came back with two others. "Here is your ID, but first we need to search the both of you before come in."

A smile appeared on the guard's faces.

Scar tugged on Zuhn's pants, "They are trying to steal from us."

Zuhn nodded his head, One of the guards walked up to Zuhn. He was reaching for Zuhn pockets when he forcibly shoved to the ground.

The other guards reacted and pulled out their swords.

"Stop! Let go of that guard or you will be killed."

Zuhn let go of the guard and put his hands up, looking into the guard's eyes.

Shivers ran down the two guards spine and Zuhn's cold eyes looked into their souls.

"Fine, We won't search you, you look like you can handle yourselves."

Scar looked at Zuhn then back at the guard a smiled.

"Don't get too cocky, Scar," Zuhn whispered to Scar. Scar nodded his head as the two of them walked into the town.

The guard that was on the ground got back up.

"Who is that guy?"

One of the guards asked. The leading guard shook his head, "I don't know but we better report it to Young Master."

The other guards nodded their heads and moved back to manning the gate.

The two men walked into the town, above them, a sign read, 'Welcome To Hencewood.'
