Bounty Hunter Bash Quest Lock Part Five

The Warlock

They made a great distance than the day before If they kept this up then they would arrive at their destination within a week. Provided that there were hardly any interruption along the way.
They were just another day's away from a inn when they the sound of of an old man scream. She heard the sound of the uneven pitter patter of a slow old man with a limp.
“Help!” he called.
“They soon saw him. He was dressed in black and white robes. Clutching most of it in one hand as he ran. Swinging the other like a pendulum in order to run faster.
“Help! Help!” he cried as he ran over to Chashathrophogh and clutched his bony fingers.
“Please young man. You have to help me!” he begged.
“And why would I do that?” he asked coldly.
“Because they're coming! By Sadesh! Why would the Hunger Highwaymen target me?”
Hunger Highwaymen? Now they could rack in some big prices! Bounty Hunter Bash Drew thought with her eyes flashed.
“We will.” she said.
Chashathrophogh looked scornfully a her. She took him aside and leaned in closely so that the old man would not hear.
“What? Why are we suddenly in the business of helping old men?”
“The Hungry Highwaymen are the most infamous highwaymen. If we help him then we will get a lot of emeralds for our efforts.”
“And you think that it's just a coincidence?”
Then the old man screamed. They looked back to see the gang had him at his throat! Knowing that they did not have any time to debate further. Bounty Hunter Bash Drew pulled out her bow and arrow. Chashathrophogh then pulled out his sword.
“Have it your way.” he said.
Then they spotted them but it was already too late for some already had arrows in their arms and legs. Then others had their head off.
“I thought that we had-”
“I know however I had the impression that I had to remind you for who I am.” he said he looked at the others. They looked at them and dropped the old man and started to run away.
He looked at the arrows in the ones that were alive. He focused his magic and pulled them out and before she could say or do anything the arrows flew in the air and the ones that were running away fell only seconds later. Leaving Bounty Hunter Bast Drew in nothing but shock. She looked at him in horror.
He then looked at the old man.
“Now old man, whet do we get for saving your short life?” he asked.
He flinched.
“Oh! How about this?” he whimpered holding two of his pendants. One with a red crystal and the other had a blue. Both were on a black chain.
Chashathrophogh threw Bounty Hunter Bash Drew the blue one. She caught it. For some reason the moment that she did she felt an immediate emotional connection to it as she put it on.
See? That is how you reap your reward.” he said as he climbed on the carriage.
“Oh Young man!” he called as he held caught on of his hands.
“My gods command of me to be your slave for a year now that my life is in both of your debt.”
His eyebrow raised.
“Fine, just don't slow us down alright?”
“A-alright.”
Bounty Hunter Bash Drew climbed and held out her hand and helped him up. She looked at him concerned.
“Are you alright?” she asked.
He smiled and nodded. She then gave him a hug. He pulled away.
“Oh you're too kind!” he chuckled.
She felt a sting in her arm. She looked at her arm and spotted a small cut. She then looked at the old man and spotted that he was awfully calm considering what he had been through. He then put hid hands in his pockets. She was about to warn her uncle but her mouth suddenly no longer obeyed her. Now she knew what her uncle was concerned about. She also knew that this man was a warlock, a mail witch!
She turned to her uncle but he was too busy at the reigns guiding the horses. Then she felt something cold in the palm of her hand. It was tube like but she could feel the leather indicating what it was. Her eyes widened as it sank in what he planed for her do. She tried to use her magic to stop her from moving. She tried to shout for help, she tried to use her magic to signal her uncle but then her arm rose and she soon spotted that the point of the blade was pointing to her. Now she knew what he wanted for her to do. She used her magic to keep her hand away from her. Then she felt magic work against her. The blade started to get closer, she knew that he was deliberately taking his time. No, if he wanted to kill her quickly she would already be dead. He was doing this just to prolong the agony. She focused more of her magic to with her hand away but the power that was forcing her hand to edge closer and closer to her heart was stronger than hers. She could see that her hand and arm was shaking as she started the feel that her arm and hand were going paler and paler. They even started to ache.
She knew that she had to stop him. She knew that she would even have to do something drastic to stop him. She suddenly focused all her magic on the warlock. She wanted willed her magic to stop him. She willed it so much that she could feel every part of her will for it. She willed him to stop once and for all. She heard him cough. Then scream. Then he fell.
The carriage stopped. She looked. She knew what she did. The knife fell. Her vision became blurry. Tears fell. Arms embraced. She knew who they were. She cold not believe what she had just done. She did not mean to do it. She just wanted for him to stop. She did not mean to do it. She just wanted to live. She did not mean to do it. She just did not want to die.
Chashathrophogh knew what she did. He did not ask. He knew. He looked at the corpse. He rapped his arms. He let her cry. Like he had done once. When it was his turn. She was so much like him. He would have done the same as she. He held no judgement. For this was where he started.
