I've never seen him so upset.

We arrived at Fiona's and trained for weeks. Once the weeks passed we learnt how to toss darts and got new equipment. We are now on our way to Middlebay. Molly walked in front while Sam and I held hands. We soon arrived to where we tied our horses up when we first arrived. Sam helped me up on my horse as arrows flew down from the walls. Bodies tumbled off afterwards. A man stood there, it was the man from the gallows, "Haha! You think you can escape fools?"
"Think I can take them?" Sam turned to us before taking out his bow and several arrows. He took aim and fired as I sat scared that the archers up on the walls would hit us. Arrows flew up and down the walls, most landing near us. Sam took out half of their archers as a couple fell to the ground, but not by Sam's arrows.
"Think you can have all the fun Sam? We were given these darts for a reason." Molly chuckled as an arrow flew into the ass of the horse I was on. The horse went wild and ran all over the place. I was hanging on, just barely. Sam freaked and ran towards me when Molly told him to focus on the archers. Molly was foolish enough to jump on the horse and rip the arrow out, "Sorry girl but theres no time to take care of you." She leaped to the front, drew her sword and slit its throat whilst we were still on it. The horse tumbled to the ground as well as me landing on Molly.
"You will fall by Hansen's guards! Especially since the four of you are no longer together." The man chuckled as a guard pushed Leonis forward with a tight grip on the strands of his hair, "Take care of him." The guard kicked Leonis off the tall wall, he toppled and screamed until he landed on the ground with a thud. The man and guards retreated from sight as I helped Molly up. Sam was over by Leonis' body and checked if he was alive.
"Fuck you! You will pay for this, you, your puttana and Hansen!" Sam yelled rising from Leonis' body and rounding another horse. He hopped on the horse and road towards Middlebay. I turned to Molly as she got on her horse and helped me up, "Sorry babe. It's obviously his way of dealing with death. Lets follow." She kicked her heels into the side of the horse and we followed Sam.

We stopped to set up tents as the sun begun to set behind us. Sam set up his tent fast and went inside. I turned to Molly who placed her hand on my shoulder. The expression on her face was telling me to go in and talk to him. So I walked to his tent and entered to see him sitting in the back with his face between his hands. The way he was made me feel horrible. It hurt so much to see him cry, he was the strong one. He has never cried in front of me before. I sat behind him and reached my arms around him. He turned with his face soaked with tears and hugged me back. It was nice until he kissed me more violently. I pulled back, "Sam. I have no idea how you feel but you need to feel better. Cozza! I'm merda at making people feel better"
"Jessie. I love you so much. You don't need to try." He said crawling over to me and hugging me, "I just need you."
"This is going to come off wrong but I'm not going to have sex with you so you can feel better." I stopped, "I mean I will if you want, but only if that's what you want. Not just 'pity' sex."
"Oh Jessie!" He yelped before hugging me tighter and cried more heavily, "I would love to but. Not. Now. Sleep with me. But not that way." He let go and I left the tent. Molly came over and asked how he was as I grabbed the sleeping bags, "He's really upset. I've never seen him so upset." I turned away and looked down.
"Well you keep him company tonight and make him feel better. You're the only one that can." Molly said as I nodded and entered the tent to see Sam already stripped of the clothes and was in more comfortable ones. I chucked him a sleeping bag and got undressed. He got in the sleeping bag as I put on the usual bed gear. I left the sleeping bag that was close to me and snuggled into the same one as Sam. He turned to face me and then kissed me.

Hired by the princess?

I left the run down building shrugging off the thought of what Fiona could have meant. To be honest I wasn't sure if I could find this place again. This place was full of filthy people that stunk. I couldn't handle it when I ran up a wall and begun to climb. Half way up the wall, I slipped but quickly grabbed a hold. Once on the roof I saw the remains of dead guards on a roof not far from me. I ran there and then ran the way I came from. The journey was long but I arrived at the gallows to see the general and the sergeant talking. Dead bodies surrounding them. My eyes zoomed in like before. Using this to my advantage I scanned the bodies to see if it was the others. I couldn't see them so I rushed towards the bar.

Upon my arrival the barmaid stood there with a smile on her face, "They're in the back." I approached the back as the barmaid slowly followed. Opening the door I noticed Molly awake and explained that we had to see Fiona. The barmaid pushed me to the side and helped Molly up. Molly went and waited out the front. I sat down on the bed where Jessie now laid. The memories of what happened that night flooded my mind, I blushed. She was still sound asleep as I reached my hand down to her hand. I held her hand as she held mine back. I sat there and what felt like hours passed by until she woke up. She looked at me with those beautiful Hazel eyes, as my heart jumped. I begun to speak but at first it was as if I was winded. I explained the situation about us needing to see Fiona, as I found out about Leonis being captured. We were leaving the room when the barmaid chucked metal plated gloves to Jessie. We met up with Molly at the front and then the three of us left.

We arrived to the building and I opened the door for Jessie and Molly to go in first. Jessie walked in as I heard a loud thud. I turned to see what happening when I see a crying boy on the ground with a man standing above the boy. The man chucked a pouch to Molly. I placed my hand on Molly's back and guided her in, "What happened?"
"That boy tried stealing my money pouch. But then that older man pushed him against the wall and told him not to steal 'from people that wear that emblem!'"
"Weird." I said as I shut the door behind. Fiona walked in and begun to talk. Molly demanded to know who we were and such. Fiona explained that we were assassins called Dakorians, hired by the princess.

We then begun training. Once we were finished training Fiona gave us daggers each, metal vambraces, a pouch of darts and gave me a short sword.
"Where will we go next?" I asked.
"Morhollow camp. That is on the east side of the Volcano Islands. To get there, go to Middlebay and use boats to get to the west, next to the abandoned castle and slowly kill everyone at the camp. They are a big threat. A bunch of Necromancers that conjure up skeletons, a massive threat to Tethys." Fiona explained. We begun to leave as Fiona pulled me aside and handed me another dagger wrapped inside a silver cape which had the Dakorian emblem on it, "You will know who to give this to. When you meet them, do not ponder as you will make the right choice." She stopped and then projected her voice so the others could hear, "At Middlebay is a man who will teach you about your spiritual animal things. To be honest, I think the guy is crazy. Have fun kids."

Dakorians

I woke up wounded badly, in a bed with Jessie. Jessie was fast as I begun to recollect my memory. I remember when we arrived at the gallows there were two people standing on the floor with nooses around their necks. A man and a woman (also the executioner) were standing next to the noosed men. Sam made the first move by freeing them from a roof top by using his arrows. Sam opened the door and explained that we have to meet some lady named Fiona. The barmaid wandered over to me and helped me up, slowly. Once I was up I walked to the counter in the main room of the bar. Moments of waiting past and Sam and Jessie walked out and we left. We entered a dark alleyway with thieves, whores, thugs and drunk men walking around. I held my pouch to make sure no one will go near my money. The people moved to the side as we approached the door. Sam opened the door and gestured that we go in first. Jessie moved in first as a hand grabbed my pouch and yanked it off. I turned to see a kid being held to the wall as my pouch fell from the kids hand. The man pulled him away, slapped him and yelled, "Not from people that wear that emblem!" The boy begun to cry as the man slapped him again and threw him on to the ground. The man grabbed my pouched and chucked it to me, "Sorry ma'am." Sam placed his hand on my back and pulled me into the door. The room was dark, dull with candles placed around. Not much candles. A woman pulled out a match and lit the rest to make it more bright, "Welcome."
"Fiona. Good to see you again." Sam said bowing
"Glad to see you brought your friends. I'm assuming Leonis isn't with you?"
"No. He got captured."
"What a shame. He will be fine. Anyway where shall I begin."
"Who are we? What are we? What is this group we are apart of!?" I demanded.
"Molly. You three are assassins. You kill for the good of this nation. We are known as Dakorians. A group formed from Hansen's very own sweet heart, Princess Leena. Why did she form us?" The woman asked rhetorically, "So that her father could be killed to make this nation a better nation. She loves her father very much, he's a good father, a good husband but a horrible king and she knows that."
"Dakorians?" Jessie whispered under her breath.
"Yes. Now shall I begin to train you three? I will teach you how to throw darts directly into ones vital areas. I am aware you have learnt vital spots from Molly's mother?"

Weeks past of training and Fiona chucked us metal vambraces. Three men walked in and handed us daggers with the Dakorian symbol on the grips. I hooked the sheath for the Dagger onto my belt. We also received a pouch with 20 darts in them, which I also hooked onto my belt.
"Sam. I hear you have trouble in close combat? I would like you to have this." Fiona said grabbing Sam's quilt and attaching a sheath. She then slid a short sword with the grip in the shape of a arrows end, "Use it well."

Another, here?

The guards surrounded the three of us. We fought and fought as blood stained our clothing. My fists begun to swell, Molly's arm begun to go numb and Leonis sat swinging his scythe around. I collapsed as everything got dizzy. Molly fell soon after. We were screwed, we need to be saved. Where are you Sam? Leonis stood up still swinging the scythe around to make sure the guards didn't come closer. At one point, everything faded dark and 4 skeletons appeared. The skeletons took care of the guards until an arrow slammed into the back of Leonis' hand and the scythe fell. He stumbled back as the Skeletons disappeared with a puff of smoke.
"The four can not bring down Hansen when they are not united. Take the boy!" The general yelled as guards grabbed Leonis. He kept kicking and squirming until one guard slammed his elbow into Leonis' head. Then. Everything went black.

I woke up on the bed Sam and I slept together on the night before. Molly laid next to me with bandages around her arms. The barmaid leaned against the wall with a smirk on her face. Blood was splattered across her, grazes on the visible skin, cuts here and there, a black swollen eye and yellow bruises on her cheek, "You two are lucky. It seems you need to be taught how to fight. Luckily I know who can teach you. A young fine, beautiful woman named Fiona trained me when we were young."
"We know how to fight!" I yelled before realising I was rude, "Sorry."
"It's okay. What I send wasn't what I meant so I don't blame you misinterpreting it. You all know how to fight, but you do not know how to counter and how to break someone's defence. Fiona will help you with that. You should go see her when you are feeling better." She said leaving the room. Something on the heel of her boot stood out. The symbol, the symbol on my necklace. She was one of us. My eyes got heavy and I fell asleep.

Sam was staring at me when I woke up again, "Thank goodness you woke up. We have to go. This lady, called Fiona wants us to meet her. Where's Leonis?"
"Leonis was captured. So this Fiona is a acquaintance of the barmaid, which is also one of us?"
"Leonis is gone? Merda. We must carry on without him." Sam said as I knew we would meet Leonis again, "Molly is at the front waiting. Let's go." I got up and got ready to leave. The barmaid chucked me gloves with metal parts on it, "It'll help you a lot, hun."
"Thanks." I replied as the three of us left.

Fiona

I closed the door behind myself and the four of us ran out towards the gallows. Leonis fell behind as usual and so we waited. Once he arrived we all sprinted off towards the gallows, again. We arrived and there were two men with nooses around their necks. A cocky man walked up and down the gallows yelling rants like, "This is your final chance Lochfield! This is your last warning. These two conspirators will be the final warning!" What a fool but he carried on, "These two are apart of an evil cult against your king Hansen and have been here altering your news and making you hate us for nothing! They must be punished. And you will watch!" I couldn't watch more of this, I looked away and when I looked back something weird was with my vision. My eyes zoomed in on the two men as if my eyes were an eagles. One man wore a necklace with the same symbol that is on my cape, while the other wore a eye patch with the symbol. My eyes zoomed out and returned to normal as I knew I had to save them. I dashed behind a building and scaled it's walls. Once I was on top I withdrew my Bow and 2 arrows and wait for the right moment. On the number 3 I released the arrows and once the count down was done the arrows flew through the ropes of the nooses and the men ran off. I chased after the two men as a loud voice yelled, "Get that boy!" Boy? I'm 17 not 11. The men ran around the back streets with speed and precision that I was unable to keep up. Eventually I lost them but I didn't lose the guards that were tailing me. One by one fell to the ground after an arrow landed into their chests. Until they got close and all I could do was dodge. I noticed that they weren't trying to kill me, only capture me. At one point I stepped too far off the edge of the roof and fell.

I awoke with a sore back in a dull room with candles lit around the room.
"Lay down." A voice said, "It's okay, we saved you from the guards."
"Who are you?"
"By the looks of your cape, you are one of us." A young woman in her twenties said stepping into the light. She wore a violet corset with a dark purple cape covering her arms, "You're lucky it's not serious."
"What happened?" I asked as the woman, named Fiona, explained the whole situation, where the two men who I had saved through darts into the necks of the guards and carried me here. She also explained how I was asleep for two hours, "You should go look for your friends."
"How do you know?"
"We've been watching you. Question, who is the man with the scythe? He's not in the pro-"
"Leonis. Pro what?"
"Do not worry Samuel. Get out there and find your friends." She urged me to go, "Come back when you find them." I left and begun to look for my friends, but what did she mean that he's not in the, what ever she was going to say?

A new friend

I watched Jessie and the barmaid carry Sam into the back room. The man on the ground just watched as I approached him and threw is arm over my shoulder. He was still with us but just overly drunk.
"My name is Leonis, what's yours? Sexy fox."
"Molly. Thanks." I said looking away from his face. He smiled and the alcohol on his breathe made me feel a bit sick. I dropped him in the room and walked out with Jessie. We sat at the bar and drunk a little. After a while I sort of got tipsy and kissed Jessie. She ran of crying. Over exaggeration much? Well I sat there for a bit with the words, "Why did you do that?" Running through my head. Moments later Leonis stumbled out and passed out on a chair. I turned to the barmaid, "Any other spare rooms?"
"Well, no. This isn't an inn. But you can sleep in the my house across the path with me. Your flirty friend can sleep on my couch."
"Thanks. Means a lot."
"You're welcome." She said. A conversation between the barmaid and I went on for quite a while. We continued our talk throughout the locking of the bar and up to the door of her house, through her house as she got ready until we went to sleep. It was a great conversation and I hope I can meet up with her one day without this assassin business going on. I slept.

The next morning I woke up to see the barmaid, also known as Kelly, down stairs making some breakfast.
"Want some?"
"Nah, I think sleeping over is the enough."
"What's that mean?"
"I mean, I can't take any more from you."
"Oh okay." She said as Leonis sat up with his hand on his head. She then whispered in my ear, "I'll make him something for his head, though." Leonis slowly walked over as the barmaid handed a warm drink to him. Time passed when we ended up going back to the bar. Leonis heard something from the north and we left Kelly behind to investigate. It turned out to be others being hanged and a lot of rambling from some male guy, obviously a Hansen man. We rushed back to the bar to wake Sam and Jessie. Leonis opened the door to a naked Sam and a naked Jessie covering themselves with the blankets. Leonis told them what we saw and then shut the door for them to get dressed. Once the two were ready we rushed off.

More enemies.

I woke up laying next to Sam laying beside me. I placed my arm on his naked chest and left it there. Others had awoken as well but Sam was fast asleep. He laid there peacefully as I rolled over and stared at the ceiling for minutes, hours. After a while a knocks on the door begun to echo within the dark room. I immediately sat up as Sam swung his legs off the bed half asleep. Molly was shocked at the sight of us naked in a bed, like seriously, come on! The random guy that seemed to have known Sam went on about something happening at the gallows. Sam told him to shut the door, once the door shut he kissed me and got up. I soon followed to get dressed. Once the two of us were dressed the four rushed off towards the gallows with everything we owned. The man gave a kiss to the barmaid before catching up to us when we were at least 5 km away.

We arrived at the gallows to see two people with nooses around their necks. Two other people stood up on the gallows with the executioner. One was male and wore chainmail, weird gold and metal armour plates with a sheild, a sword and a cape with the Hanson symbol on the back. The other was a female human-wolf with the same sheild, armour plates, sword and chainmail but she didn't wear the cape. She wore long boots that went under a long skirt which wasn't very fashionable. I stood there watching the two as the male blurted out stuff like the two people with the nooses around their necks were evil. Sam quickly ran behind a building and climbed it. Upon reaching the roof he perched himself and aimed his bow. Two arrows in his bow, who were they for? The two guards or the nooses. He sat there aimed until the count down begun.

Sam let go and the arrows flew through the air.

PULL!

As soon as the floor was pulled beneath the men, the two arrows through into the nooses and the men landed beneath the gallows before sprinting off down the back streets. The crowd stood in shock and turned to see who had shot. They saw Sam running across the rooftops after the men. What was he doing?

"Get that boy!" The male guard guy on the gallows yelled.

"Okay General." One guard replied before signalling his men to climb the builds and chase Sam. The female stared at us for a while before whispering in the Generals ear. I turned to Molly with confusion as guards begun to surround us, "Shit!"
