Demitri


The air was filled with a smell of dead meat, the sweet smell of victory; as my deadly silver sword , crafted by one of the best smith's known in town, slowly slid out of the animals fearce looking body.
Victory, was honestly all that mattered to me. Is there anything else in this world that would be so important? I have nobody to do this for -except myself, and the wonderfull cheers of the people in the town when I come back with the prize.
Slowly, dragging the animal and leaving a long bloody trail behind me.. I saw and odd shadow, - it wasn't a usual human shadow, and it certainly did not look like an animal... I tried my best to make out what it could be.. usually I was good at those sort of things, but this was different, this time there was not even a chance of me guessing. I had no idea what was behind that tree. 

Slowly I approached the large bark , tall as the towers in the castle.
I tried to make no sound whatsoever, which was actually something I was pretty good at. But today, I could feel my luck just slowly running out. I knew something was bound to go wrong soon.
Suddenly, I stepped on a branch and as I heard the long cracking noise and the rustling of leaves as I hid behind the tree, I could feel my heart pounding hard as ever. I swallowed.
This swallow almost hurt , and it slowly passed through my neck.. I could feel it, like swallowing a large gulp of something bitter. Quickly, my hand covered my mouth, even breathing at this point was dangerous.
My pupils grew so wide , as I noticed the creatures large outspread slightly sapphire-coloured black wings. They looked almost black, nearly like a twilight night sky. Beautiful actually, but I needed to keep my distance, this could be dangerous... For both of us.
