ALISHA

I sat in one of the taverns,drinking away my sorrows.

My father had become a northern dog in service to humans. King Artemis housed the most hated and despised killer in Elysium, walked him through our streets,openly gave him a place to sleep with his little farm girl...

I gripped my tankard tightly and chugged down another full tankard of mead.

The barkeep approached,laughing softly. "You're going to wake up with one painful headache tomorrow Alisha. Something bothering you kid?"

"I'm fine,pour me another." I said.

The barkeep shrugged,pouring me more of...whatever he was serving me. I didn't care. As long as it got the job done and got me drunk off of my ass,I was happy.

"My fucking father. Defending Nova Vi Britannia of all people. I want him dead. I want to kill him with my own bare hands."

"Line up then Ali," a voice came.

A man and almost the entire bar came to sit with me, their faces serious and ripe with anger. "We all want to see Nova pay too."

"He's murdered several of our kin. Too many for us to count."

"He killed my uncle!"

"My Mother!"

An outcry of people who Nova butchered were shouted by all those around me. I could feel their pain,their suffering. Their hate through each cry.

I hushed each of them, silencing them all.

"I know where the two of them are. I say, we go, smoke their room out, and let them suffocate to death."

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

"Nova will live! But he'll be weak. When he's out,we'll each take turns giving him his due."

"Yeah!"

"We can dip our arrowheads in sap,ignite it and fire them through their window, it'll light their tree up like Huntress day!" One of the men suggested.

"Then lets go! Go and gather your things. We do it now. While we have the element of suprise on our side."

The men dispersed, and I took a final swig of my mug before grabbing my bow and arrow.

If my father didn't have the balls to eliminate him while we had the chance. I would.
