[QUOTE="Walking Dad, post: 4948621, member: 59043"] Challenge II - Fond Memory ________________________________________ In the nights of the full moon, when Bashu’s power was greatest, Fury dreamed and remembered: [COLOR=Gray]“Bha-Ka-Thet, You have completed your training at the temple. Now you have to pass a last test. Go to the villa in the north east of the merchant district. You will find one of our greatest patron in need of your talents. Leave now!”[/COLOR] Fury growled slightly in his sleep, his dream racing forward to the moment he entered the villa. Bha-Ka-Thet smelled the aroma of the cultivated wild-flowers as he entered the garden surrounding the villa. Like a shadow he slipped over the wall and into the manor. He finally reached what must normally be the eating room, for it had the size of the one in the temple, where the entire of the priest ate together. [COLOR="Gray"]“Bha-Ka-Thet, please enter, I have waited for you!”[/COLOR] He heard a shrill voice. On a massive pile of cushions laid the biggest and most obese man he had ever seen. And he was not alone. Rows of warriors flanked the room, wearing blackened leather armor, a red full mask, holding falchions in their hands. [COLOR="Gray"]“Bha-Ka-Thet, my second wife has betrayed me. Here is the information regarding their hiding spot.”[/COLOR] The obese man said gesturing at the scroll a small undernourished slave-girl brought. [COLOR="Gray"]“Kill them and bring me her tongue who lied to me and his eyes who dared to see what is mine!”[/COLOR] Fury dreamed further… Bha-Ka-Thet moved through the chaotic streets of the foreigner district, avoiding all the guards that patrolled there. They were more for thwarting any riots and hinder the dwellers from leaving their district, but they were brutal and many. At last, he found the building he was looking for. He entered through the skylight and nearly instantly heard a man and a woman speaking. After preparing himself, he simply stepped into the room. [COLOR="Gold"]“For the sins against Bashu, I’m here to collect your souls.”[/COLOR] He said, nearly praying the formal litany.

[COLOR="Gray"]“He is a monster. This is my true husband. This fiend had taken me away and forced her to obey him.”[/COLOR] She started crying and fell into the man’s arms. Bha-Ka-Thet contemplated about her words. It was truly odd for such a merchant to marry a foreigner girl. And he heard stories about such things before. And why was he send and not something more official? He made a decision and left the couple as fast and stealthy as he had arrived.
