     Terror lies in the heart of every man.                      👽

   
        The sky was thick with black clouds, the wind pushed angrily at the trees, and birds flapped their wings with urgency as they flew with the strong wind, trying to find their way home.

Despite the chaos, Argon felt like a new man. He was rejuvenated, Bianca had done a good job. He hadn't felt this good in a long time.

Hell it has really been a long time.

Looking up at the sky , with his left hand shading his eyes from the dirt and debris flying around. He dropped his tattered bag at his feet, he needed food and clean water before the rain comes.

Moving his heavy form, he went in search of meat. It was easy to find one owing to the frenzy of the animals. An hour later, with the increasing tempo of the wind, Argon held a dead bird in his left hand.

Placing the bird on the ground, he went ahead to pick up as many wood that he would need for preparing the meat and keeping warm, during the night.

As he stretch to carry another chunk of wood,he saw a thin shiny thing on the ground.

Reaching for it, he  place the thin object on his palm. He wouldn't have noticed anything suspicious about the object, but something piqued his curiosity.
It was too clean. He rubbed his thumb around the edges, as he wondered.. Has someone passed through here? Surely this route was not for the usual travellers.

He put the piece of jewelry in his breeches. Maybe when he goes back to town he would give it to Bianca. It would look beautiful on her delicate arm.

Several hours later, the sky began to weep. The drops hitting the ground and pushing out the earth with its force. Argon sat like a brick in the small cave that he'd managed to secure, just before the rain hit the ground.

He put the last piece of meat in his mouth as he thought about his target and how he was going to accomplish his mission.

Ponti was three days away, but with this weather it would take a week to get there.

He let his back rest on the wall of the cave. Closing his eyes, he welcomed the cool calm breeze that kissed his being.
