[ModNote: Continued from Private Matters.] *Leytan trudged silently along the Path that led out of Wolfenden, he wasn't going to miss this relem, then again he never missed any relm in which he had stayed, since he had no roots how could he miss a place that wasn't his home.* *But something was naggin at him, he could still hear Midnights innocent little voice in his ear, and he could see her depreat pleeding eyes where ever he looked.* "Damnation shut up Midnight and leave me alone." *Leytan breatherd, but the voice continued.* |

*There was a shout from behind Leytan, a familiar voice, the Ringmaster.*
"You, Leytan, I need a word."
*Leytan has nowhere to run and decides that a quick talk with Rob is the best option.*
"I'm looking for the watcher girl, Midnight or maybe her travelling partner, Janis wasn't it? I have been unable to find either of them and I need their help."

(OCC: This is voiced in Leytan's head.)
*In Midnight's voice.*
I can't shut up. Your the one hearing me..besides you know your doing the wrong thing. Thats why you can't stop thinking about her.

*Leytan pushes the voice away, and turns to face Rob.*
"I'm affriad I don't know where she is Ringmaster. Where it not for the fact that I am leaveing this relm, I would offer my services to you."

*RMR suspects he's not being entirely honest, even if he didn't have anything to do with it then a man like Leytan's skill is knowing all the comings and goings in the village.*
"You're leaving the realm in rather a hurry aren't you? Guilty conscience?"

If only you could push me away that easily.
*After RMR's guilty conscience remark.*
He's right you know. You do have a quilty conscience..for the first time. The girls going to die if you don't go back...or if RMR can save her maybe you could help him...give him a hint....

*tries to shrug the voice off.*
"One or two things that the new Inquisitor might uncover which I was involved in. And if he dose I have no desiser to be around when he dose so."
or if RMR can save her maybe you could help him...give him a hint....
*A thought crosses Leytan's mind.*
"Pitty about The Wolf Howl. Looks like its days could be nummbered, like they say Bad Luck comes in Threes. Two Muders at Midnight can't be good for the buissnes there."
*Leytan puts a little extra empathis on the words The Wolf Howl, Midnight & there.*

*RMR takes the hint and nods to Leytan*
"I know what you mean, terrible shame that. I think i'll go and say a farwell to the place..."
*He is interupted by 3 burly men coming up to them, the leader ignores RMR and speaks to Leytan.*
Man: "Leytan I presume, we're hear to pick up the 'package'. We're told you can take us to it."
*Rob interupts*
"Excuse me, but I was talking to this man, besides if you're after a package then I can tell you were to go, the local post office. Now clear off!"
*One of the men looks positively furious at RMR and begins a foul mouthed tirade at him.*

*Leytan turned to the man.*
"Is that type of langues realy nessercery??"
{Man}
"Now Look Pal."
"NO you look. I'm not telling you where that "package" as you so calously discribe her as is. But what I will tell you is this, you can tell your boss Hakuto to shove his money, because I'm not going to stand by and let that poor girl die."
{Man}
"Why you double-crossing half breed."
*This seemed to trigger something in Leytan, he lunged at the mans throat, RMR was shoked by this, Leytan was useraly a cool headed indervidual, but this attack was in pure rage.*
*Leytan and the man rolled around in the dirt trying to grasp the others throat. While Rob was distracted the other 2 men made to attack him, one of them who had been drinking from a bottla of ale untill now, hurled the bottla at Rob.*

*Rob effortlessly dodges the bottle, in fact it was so far from hitting him he needn't have even flinched, he laughs a hearty laugh.*
"Fantastic aim you've got there slugger, why not try hitting a barn door with a ballista next time?"
*The man grins as a previously unseen man behind Rob has caught the bottle that was actually thrown to him and smashes it over Rob's head, the Ringmaster's mouth opens in shock and he slumps forward, the cool night air suddenly seems frozen. Then the shadow's voice rings out clearly*
"Red sky at night, sadist's delight."
*The man who had smashed the bottle looks around for the source of the voice, but as it is night the shadow is totally unseen against the oddly red sky. The man looking around stops looking and falls to the floor with a broken neck. The other one makes to cry out to the two fighting Leytan but one of the shadow's knives catches him right in the stomach and he doubles over.
The shadow approaches the third man, who is trying to pull Leytan from the final man. The shadow drives a knife deep into his back and out the other side. The man slumps over Leytan and his comrade, bleeding. The shadow decides Leytan could prove useful and deserves to live, for now, it speeds of into the night again in search of victims.*

*Leytan is seeing red and not just the blood that is dripping down his clothsd from the dead body that has slumped on to him. But because of all the years of lonlyness and anguish at being an outcast, this man with his crude rasit remark had awakend that rageing inferno in Leytan and was now paying the hevy price.* *Leytan's hands clasped his throat in a vice like grip and squeezed. The mans eyes buldged and he gapsed for air his face turning blue, but even this was not good enough for Leytan he began beating the mans head against a rock trying to cave his skull in.* *Finaly the man stoped breathing and leytan relased his grip on the corpes. It was a heidous sight to behold. The face was blue, the eyes where buldging out in fear & shock, the toung loled out of the half open mouth & blood was flowing freely from the half destryed skull.* *Leytan stood back and looked at the cranage. Seeing the other dead bodies snaped him back to normal, he quickly looked around for the killer. But no one is about, Ringmaster Rob is also missing. But Leytan is pretty sure Rob would never kill some on in sucha brutal sadistic way. Leytna decides that discretion would be the better part of valor in this instance and turned back to Wolfenden.* "Now to help Midnight, hope I'm not to late." *He thinks as he turns and starts sprinting back to wolfenden.* |

*The shadow soon sees no one in plain sight apart from more town guards, the commoners and high profile targets have had the sense to avoid the streets, it has put the fear into them successfully. Rob shortly wakes up to find shares of glass in his hair and several small cuts on his face, he realises what must have happened when he sees the bodies, he gets up and takes the long walk to the Wolf's Howl, and with his fatigue and wounds it IS a long walk.*

*RMR is over half way there when he sense something is wrong, he is sure that Midnight is in mortal peril, he decides it is important to hurry. Despite his injury he begins walking faster and faster in order to arrive.* |
