The King's Jester - Chapter 1 An Incident In The Forest

The girl screamed frantically begging for her life. It was only natural considering what was happening.

"Shh" said the boy. He took out a rusty knife from his sheath. The blade made contact with her bare chest and worked slowly it's way up to her neck.

"Please! You don't have to do this!" shouted the girl in one last pathetic plea.

The boy slowly slits her neck. His eyes stared into hers as he laughed hysterically and slashed at her neck repeatedly.

*A player has been slain*

"HA HA HA! This is too much!"

The girl did nothing to deserve this torment. She merely crossed paths with this sadistic boy. Now the blood of her corpse was spewed all over the forest ground. As the girl's party arrives the boy slowly slipped into the nearby trees. They were looking for the girl and what they found was beyond disturbing.

"Who... Who did this!" The tall warrior shouted in anger. He searched around for the culprit but no one was to be found.

The moonlit night made the pool of blood shine in a austere light. Her silvery armor was dyed crimson.

'Hehehehe...' The boy hid in the shadows waiting for their guard to go down. Normally he wouldn't bother killing members of a part since they usually end his fun prematurely. He enjoys killing his prey slowly and methodically. First the tendons, then the muscles, and finally their necks. Sometimes he has a thing for eyes. Especially brown eyes, they remind him of his late mother.

"We have to tell the guild about this. Murders will be the end of Royal Road!" more people arrived to the scene and they were looking for any clues of the culprit.

'Tch tch tch...they are too cautious for their pathetic lives, maybe next time i'll kill the rest'

The boy walked away from the scene. Not much loot was obtained from the corpse, after all he didn't hunt this one for her items but because she had a nice smell.

He took out a flute and started playing it as he walked along into the cool forest. The trees swayed open a path for him to walk upon as he ventured to a small lake.

'Ahh, the moonlit night sky gives my murderer's consciousness solace, do you appreciate this wonderful night Ahari?'

"Oh course Lazarus" Ahari was an eccentric pet, she had randomly appeared one night as he was ripping apart an old man. No one else but Lazarus can see her.

"That girl's death was most invigorating! It makes my blood feel nice and fresh." Ahari is in the form of a snake like bird. She swirled her tongue as she said her words. Her scales especially glistened in this wonderful night.

"Will you hunt more tonight Laz?" He nodded no and smiled. "Then perhaps another time young master..." She spiraled into a point and vanished.
