Shadow Company-The Beginning

Chapter 3 Zoey

Five years have passed since that day and now the brothers wait but one normal day it all changed.

"Hey Rythian guards came by the house today, said that you were causing trouble"Rydian exclaimed as his brother entered the room.

"It's not my fault the thief dropped dead I swear"Rythain answered with a smirk.

"Rythian the glory days are over, if we get caught the order is finished" with this Rydian went back to his tinkering.

"We'll I'm going out"Rythian grabbed his robes and went out the door into the dark streets.

The streets were covered in people trying to survive every last one of them in poverty and still the king did nothing.

Rythian ignored the peasants and walked off, while passing an alleyway however he heard guards talking, he decided to advance to the rooftops in order to get a better look. Rythian made his way to the top and peered down.

The guards laughed as the lady fell, she was young but they didn't care, all they knew was she threw a rock at a guard so she needed to be punished, the lady had red flowing hair and leather robes, Rythians heart missed a beat and watched as a warm feeling spread throughout his body. The guard drew his sword but oblivious to the hooded man dropping behind them, a Rythian grabbed one snapping his neck and grabbed the dead guards knife and threw it perfectly at the other. The guard fell lifelessly and Rythian helped the lady up. The lady smiled.

"What's your name"Rythian asked.

"Zoey" Zoey answered,

"We have to go other guards will be coming after those guys don't return"He turned to Zoey and threw her his knife.

"Know how to use one of these and or climb" Rythian asked.

"Of course" and with that they were off, every step taking them closer to the battalion of guards advance towards Rydian.
