The Shadow Games

"In a place like this, why would I stick around to meet anything!" you think.

You rush and find cover under some bushes just off the trail. And you wait and watch for the thing's arrival.

And suddenly you feel it. The sharp end of some weapon digging into your back.

"Stand and declare yourself!" a voice shouts behind you.

When you stutter it turns you around and you come face to face w/ your assailant.

It's a boy that appears to be just out of his teens. His hair is quite long--down to his waist in fact--and silver-toned. He holds a slender blade in his hands which is placed directly at your neck.

He glares at you w/ sea-grey eyes and awaits your answer.
