Raining Nitre

Battle of Donkyrk

"So what brings you to Donkyrk?" asked a short pudgy woman behind a long wooden desk with M-O-T-E-L written in large golden letters.

I considered how much I should reveal to her and said, "Donkryk was on our way to another town so we decided to it was a good place to rest."

She handed me a thin golden key and I headed left to the rickety stairs. I walked up to the third floor and inserted the key into a large metal key hole in the middle.I pulled the key out and the door creaked open to reveal a tiny room with two beds and an open door leading to a closet. I walked over to a broken window facing the desert where Agrippa was hiding and I signaled to him to climb up to me. He swiftly jumped up fifteen feet and gripped on to a second floor window sill, he quickly grabbed with his overly long arm and sent himself flying up to my window. He entered breaking away the wall and leaving an Agrippa sized hole in the wall. "Want me to go somewhere to buy food? It sounds like there's a lion in her" I asked hearing his stomach loudly rumbling.

"S-s-s-s-s..." realizing he wouldn't finish the word sure he just nodded his enormous head.

"Ill be back in ten minutes." I called behind me as I walked out of the room.

I walked down the hall and a door swung open violently, I dodged into a corner hiding myself just in case. I heard one man walk out the door and he yelled at another still in the room, he slammed the door and muttered under his breath, "Fucking Draken scrum I'm his superior he should be obeying ME."

I pulled out a three foot metal bar and pressed a button which extended a sharp blade around the same length. I darted to the man and slide my blade between his shoulder blades while I put my hand over his mouth. I dragged him to a window and threw him into a bush, quickly I slid out the window and hand over hand swung myself to the window of the Drake 's room. I peeked through the window and looked around noticing one man laying on a bed with only a blanket over his midsection and to the side of the bed a nude woman was sliding on a pair of pants. The woman finished putting on her pants and she grabbed a bag most likely with money in it from the man. Just as the door closed I leaped through teh window and hovered my blade over the man's crotch. "Don't move or I will lower my blade." the man nodded as soon I finished my sentence.

"Do you have any information you would like to share with me about Draken activities?" I asked slowly.

"In a week Draken forces are coming here to murder the citizens because they don't follow the the government." the man rapidly spoke but then he began to reach for his pistol.

I slit his throat immediately spraying blood everywhere and rushed out the door to warn Agrippan.

I sprinted to my room and opened the old wooden door, "Agrippa!!" i yelled, "the draken are planning an attack on donkryk." I spoke barely managing to get through them.

"we s-should a-alert anyone with a weapon and t-take them d-down." said Agrippa.

i jumped out a window and landed on old paved road. agrippa quickly followed behind me and we ran into the center of town. agrippa yelled at the top of his monstrous voice, "attention!"

Everyone's head turned toward us. "attention, we have gotten word that draken forces are coming here to kill us all, everyone with a gun please barricade yourself in building and prepare to fight back!" i said as i thrust my fist upwards.

everyone followed suit and raised their fist yelling at the top of their lungs, "down with draken!"

people scattered grabbing anything remotely weapon-like. i turned to agrippa and said, " lets go to the highest window of that church i have a rifle."

we hurried up the stairs of the church to the highest tower. we reached the top and set up my rifle on the window sill. i looked through the scope and saw close to the town was a coyote with white fur. i zoomed in closer noticing thick green veins going along its body, it long sharp protruded from two holes on the bottom of its jaw, his mouth was contorted in a way that it looked as if it was smiling. "that's weird, have you ever seen a white wolf?" i asked agrippa.

"no." he answered.

i looked back through my scope and it was gone. i just waved it off as i had better things to do. little did i know that wolf would play an important part in my journey
