Main character, Cedany, is out for revenge to the man who assassinated her family. |
Restless hours of the night stirred Cedany. Her dreams were full of terror and bad memories. She was thinking about that day, 4 years ago when she watched her mother, father and brother die, right in front of her. These nights were the worst for her, because she can't get it off her mind. "At least I still have my mother's dagger..." she thought to herself. Her mother's dagger was her last resort. 4 years ago,while Cedany and her family were eating supper, a masked man busted in, Cedany ran and hid. Her family was frozen from terror. Cedany quickly, without thinking, grabbed her mother's dagger and swung for the man. She barely missed. She watched as the man stabbed through her mother's heart. She screamed. Everything after that was blacked out of her memory. It was dawning, a new day's beginning. Cedany had decided to go out into the woods, hunting. She traveled to the edge of her town and started out into the woods. she got to her special spot, Climbed a tree and waited. After a while, she saw a large rabbit running by the tree. she drew her spindly bow, made from rough wood and tightly stretched thread back, and shot the rabbit. "Dammit!" she exclaimed. She had missed the rabbit. After a while of hunting, Cedany traveled back into town and went to the market. She had shot a wild turkey, and wasgoing to prepare it to sell. She plucked all of the feathers, skinned and cut the turkey carefully. Then she went to the Market and sold it to a shopkeeper named Ailia. Ailia was always happy to buy Cedany's goods, in exchange for some grain. Cedany went back home and baked the grain into the tough, flat bread that she lived on. She knew that tomorrow, she was going to travel a long way to meet somebody. That somebody's name was Merek. She was hoping, that just maybe Merek could teachher how to fight. |
