Sonja, stood staring out into the night the battlements beyond her window hindered her of all but the tallest of trees. the night was moonless though and no fires spoiled the darkness. she stared at the sky's as her mind relaxed something she rarely let it do. Sonja's skills and usefulness had garnered her a great friend, a lower lord in the hierarchy of Grado who's wife had taken ill long ago. when finally his wife drew her final breath he invited Sonja to join him in his castle. she had agreed, for the straw beds he offered her were far more welcoming than the rough wooden floors of the wagon's she usually found herself sleeping in. Sonja carried no weapon but served a vital roll among any army. her hips served as her assets, she was a dancer who's true skill was hidden, a little bit of magic laid in her and she using it in the smallest amounts was like the bards of old able to invigorate, revitalize and even encourage the men.
unfortunately for Sonja, she also had made a few enemies along her travels merchants robed of coin, tabs left unpaid, debts left scattered around the maps both new and old, and this night this dancer had relaxed her mind, something that is never advisable for someone who is unarmed. out the rafters above her dropped a man with twin daggers on his hips. the black cape that surrounded him looked as if a shadow was thrown about the floor. he landed silently, on one knee he slowly rose the black cape rising with him. he took off his hood the green ribbon tied across his forehead matched his leather jerkin and boots. dark green almost to dark to be considered green. he stalked her ever moving closer, she inhaled.
opened her mouth wide Sonja went to yawn her eyes closed and her hand went to cover her mouth. she didn't have time to react as a searing pain opened up in her lower back.
Artemis clasped her hand over her mouth and pushed his dagger deeper. when she went limp he laid her down. he laid a coin over each eye and kissed her forehead. he left out the window that had distracted his target.
