Storm lived up to her name. Strong, dark, and angry. She was an orphan girl, who was abandoned in the woods for reasons unknown. Having to learn how to survive without anyone at a young age made Storm strong. She learned to hunt and trap all on her own and as if it was in her blood she could climb and run silently without difficulty. She made her weapons with materials she found in the woods, using stone arrows and a wooden bow to shoot her prey. While on one of her hunting trips she came across a man walking in the woods. Curiously, sense she did not see many people, she followed high up in the trees so she would not be seen. After following this man for almost and hour, he suddenly stopped and as if he could sense her he looked up. Storm help her breath and hid behind the tree she was in. Peeking around it she saw that the man was not there anymore. She focused using a extraordinary skill she used to hunt. Everything went into a hazy blue but there was one thing that was a bright gold. She focused on it and saw that that man was also up in the trees looking in her direction. As her world went back to normal she saw that he was indeed in the trees and was looking right at her. As she made eye contact she saw that the man was wearing white robes and a hood that covered his face. He looked at her and said something but she could fully understand for he spoke with a slight ancient. She tilted her head indicating that she was confused. The man looked at her then pointed to the ground. This she understood and cautiously climbed down the tree always keeping and eye on the strange man as he did the same. She stood on the ground in a slight defensive stance just in case this man were to try an harm her. The man seemed to be looking at her but she could not tell because of the hood. Storm sized him up knowing that she could not beat him in strength but may be able to beat him in speed. The man raised his hands as to indicate that he meant no harm but Storm did not relax and kept in her stance.
"Can you speak?" the man asked. Strom stayed silent not trusting the man. The man tried again.
"Do you understand anything I am saying?" he asked slowly. Yes she understood but why would she talk to this man. She could have went to a town and lived there but people were awful and much to loud unlike the woods were it was peaceful with the birds chirping and the leaves rustling. She continued to look at the man without a single emotion on her face as if she were a statue.
"Why are you following me?" He asked a question once again. She continued to stand there in her stance silently wondering how the man sensed her. She knew he did not see or hear her for she blended right into the woods and even the animals with the best of hearing could not hear her. He took a step closer making Storm going into a full defensive stance. The man noticed and eyed her curiously.
"I mean no harm as long as you answer my questions." Storm did not like this she would not be restricted. She would not be made to answer questions if she did not want to and he most defiantly was not going to make her. He seemed to see the challenge in her eyes and smirked slightly.
"Don't make this hard on yourself. Just answer my question," he demanded. I answer to no one, Storm thought becoming angry that a man she just met thought he could control her. She reached into her belt and pulled out her stone dagger, not much but she knew she had a chance of winning. The man noticed the movement and stood in his fighting stance eyeing the stone dagger curiously. Storm sized him up once again notice his almost perfect fighting stance. The only problem was he was ready for some one who was trained Storm only relied on instinct. They circled each other both sizing each other up, looking for weaknesses. Storm faked a bad left leg tricking the man into thinking that was her weak side. She watched as the man seemed satisfied with what he found.
"All you have to do is answer why you were following me," the man tried to negotiate but Storm had her mind made up. She was not going to answer to anyone especially some fool who walked into her woods.
"Fine," the man said taking her silence for an answer extended his hidden blade faking a right only to go to the left but Storm saw this coming and quickly dodged. The man seemed surprised by her quick reflexes but dismissed the thought and focused back on his target. They circled each other once again and this time Storm was the one to attack. Letting her instincts take over she faked a swipe to his gut only to kick him in the chest. The man backed up a few steps in order to gain balance only to trip over a branch and fall onto the ground. Storm quickly took this to her advantage. Straddling him she pressed the stone dagger to his neck. That was easy, she thought happily.
"I answer to no one," Storm said in a deadly calm voice. The man did not move but instead sat there motionless. She did not like this and knew that she still had to be cautious of this man for he had something up his sleeve.
"Ah so she does speak," the man says cockily.
"Why are you here?" Storm asks calmly but on the inside she was very annoyed by the mans attitude.
"Why were you following me?" the man asks once again. Storm was ready to cut the man throat right then and there but she knew she needed answers as to why the man was wondering around in the middle of the woods.
"I do not think you are in any position to ask questions," Storm said still calm.
"Hmm...you may be right. Let me introduce myself my name is Ezio Auditore da Firenze and I am here to look for you."
