I smiled happily as I looked out into the sunset from my home in the iron woods. The tiger didn't chase me thank god and I was able to make back it unseen. Well that was two days ago and the rhino guards were looking for the perpetrator, they even came to my house. They didn't find anything of course due to me ditching them in the village.

So today I'm supposed to met a antelope wearing black royal messenger robs at the noodle shop in town. I was going to be paid a Hefty sum for the assassination I pulled off a few days ago so I hope they don't back stab me.

I walked over to my closet and grabbed a nice green tunic with black leggings and no shoe's, but not before hiding a few throwing knives in the sleeves of my robs. I grabbed a small sack that was on my bed and wrapped the straps around my shoulders. I walked towards the front door prepared to leave, but before I opened it I remembered something , my bamboo hat (didn't look it up before). I quickly ran back to my hat rack and plopped it right onto my head.

I was soon out the door and walking through the iron woods on a lone path towards the village. The forest was quite nice this morning and the nice green colors were returning after the long winter. I sighed happily, why I just love spring.

It didn't take me long to get back into the village but one thing was for certain, there are more rhino guards than usual. I walked over a bridge giving me a good height advantage, I looked over the crowd and a lot of them looked paranoid and only a quarter of the shops were open today.

Sheesh, there so easy to frighten, I just hope that noodle shop is open, I love that place!

I walked through the crowd and a was all alone again on the lonely street to the noodle shop. The people probably won't be back to there normal routine for a few days.

I smiled as I saw the entrance to the noodle shop and I wasn't surprised to see it completely empty. There was no one here, not even in the front, dam, must be clos.."What would you like to order". I jumped at the voice and looked to my right, there stood Mr.ping, the owner of the restaurant.

I sighed then calmed down, dropping my ready stance "I would like 1 secret ingredient soup aaannnddd 1 dumpling please" I said happily. He nodded and scribbled down then order "it'll be out in a minute" he said quickly the ran into the kitchen. I smiled then went to go sit in a corner, waiting for that messenger and my food.

Mr.ping came out with my food a few minutes later and I paid for my meal, but the sound of voices grabbed my attention.

I listened a little closer but my eyes widened when I heard her name "come on tigress, my dads noodles will cheer you right up" the voice said encouragingly. Shit. If the five and the dragon warrior are here then that's going to be a big problem. Lets just hope that amnesia grenade worked or else I'm screwed, royally screwed.

I casually looked down at the table when the six entered the establishment, hiding my face from view. I pulled off my pack and casually pulled out some lead and some paper, and started drawing. I usually do this to make myself seem more casual, so I hope she doesn't look this way and/or remember anything about me.

Mr.ping sounded joyful as they entered and quickly took down there orders, most of them being regular noodle soup. I quickly took a glance at the group who sat in the middle of the restaurant and thankfully tigresses back was turned towards me. I looked back down and continued on my drawing I started it a few days ago. It was a sunset by a lake with mountains on both sides, it looked quite nice and I just had a little bit more to draw.
