As they trudged through the woods

The Witch, the Paladin and the Warrior 

In search of the Maniac

For he hath threatened the people's lives

And the destined fighters sought to eliminate him

As they continued their strides

Their body going rigid and tense

And immediately assuming the fighting stance

As their senses were on high alert

Their eyes picking up the slightest moment

Their ears perking up at the smallest sound

A deep chuckle rang through the forest

It cut the blanket of silence in one sharp snip

Just as how one swing of a blade cuts the thread

Just as how one small mistake breaks the trust

The chuckle cut through the eerie silence of the forest

All the three of them turned

The Paladin had her bow and arrow in position

The Warrior had his sword drawn

The Witch lashed her whip out 

The outlines of the whip glowing a soft glow as her magic tingled along it

The Maniac-

With a hatchet in one hand, a glaive in his other

He had his hood drawn

Obscuring the view to his face

But even a child could say he was smirking under his cover

For it was that obvious

His laugh ran through the forest again

And he slowly lowered his hood

The Paladin gasped

She went weak on her knees

Her heart beat erratically

But she remained standing straight

Her face giving nothing away

She lowered her bow

But it was still drawn

Ready to launch

In a clear voice she spoke:

Her voice unwavering:

She spoke the words that made the Witch and the Warrior gasp

While the Maniac smirked~
