Path Unseen

Prologue

It was a bright and sunny morning. As James awoke and sat up in his bed he thought of his plan. He had heard of an old town know as Dawncreath. It is said that the towns population had died overnight. Naturally this had made the town a hot spot for adventures. Sadly, however, all who traveled there never returned.
James thought nothing of the danger but only of the joy. He had hoped that he would find an old corpse. If he was lucky he would find a ancient burial ground. He traveled to the docks of town to attempt to steal a boat. There was a large group of men standing by the boat James needed. He wasn't sure he would be able to take them all at once but any attempt to split them up failed.
James decided that he would have to kill them. James went up and stabbed the biggest man and the back of the neck and ripped it out severing the spinal cord. The paralyzed man fell to the ground instantly and before the men could react James stabbed the other in the chest. The thin blade slipped between the mans ribs and punctured the man's lung. There were two men still left. One pulled out a small hang gun. James grabbed the 3rd man and pulled him in front of himself just as the 4th shot. The bullet struct the man and killed him. The 4th man fumbled with the gun attempting to reload. James took the time to pus the man down. James than stabbed the man in the throat and opened his airway. He ripped his blade out and watched the man suffer. He rolled the paralyzed man into the water and watched as the bubbles slowly stopped. James boarded the raft, and set sail for Dawncreath.
