The warm night sky glistened over the starry land, stars flickering on and off like a million fireflies in an invisible garden. The moon was new and its light gave a ghostly glow to the landscape below; it touched the green grass with silver, and made the leaves of the trees shine as if they were covered with frost. The night blanketed the silent eerie kingdom city, devoid of any activity, the only sound was a distant rumble of thunder that struck down sporadically in a rhythmic pattern hoping to hit anything to cause mayhem and chaos in the houses and trees.
The wind blew through the empty streets, caressing the stone walls with its soft touch, brushing the cobblestones and causing them to squeak under its weight. It rustled through the leaves of the trees making them creak and groan from their sleep. rubble of stone strode through the dead of night as it was guided by the currents of strong winds down the rugged and winding streetways, it felt like it was the only life there in the city yet it was the only a piece of stone controlled by the wind like a puppet.
The houses loomed above the wide stony roadways that split away like branching trees in different areas of the city that lead into each other's territory. Long metallic lamp posts stuck to the ground with a triangular shape of dimly lit fires lighting the low pathways for any late wanderers traversing the darkness.
"SPLASH...CRACK...SPLASH" came to the sounds of raindrops falling from the sky as they made contact with the stone ground, the crackling sound of the raid soothed the night for anyone that was sleeping.
"CRASH...STAMP" rapid heavy footsteps echoed through streets while being accompanied by the calm rainfall. a dark figure dashing across alleyways and open streets of the maze-like layouts of the city, the mysterious figure hurtling towards the south of the great outer wall that separates the city and the unknown.
her brown long tattered cloak flapped wavily like the ocean's waves as she ran at full speed. Her hair was dishevelled and tangled but she did not seem bothered about this fact as she kept running, the hood of her brown cloak hiding her face. Arms hugged tightly around the chest area of her body, protecting a small brown bag snugged within her arms, and her legs pumped hard and fast against the pavement as she sprinted down the path. she wore long black leather boots that covered part of most of her thighs, red stripes going around each boot at the end of her thighs, she also wore black full-body clothing that covered most of her body, it also was tucked nicely under the boots. a set of thick strings that weaved around fabric vertically down the stomach to indicate how she got into it. there was a small cut on the top section to reveal some cleavage. there was more hint of dark red that was stitched around the arms. she also wore a pair of golden moon earing that shined brightly like the moon itself.
she kept sprinting down the crooked streets, tears were streaming down her face as she pushed through the pain, any moment her legs would buckle and break like twigs. the only thing that fuelled her was the slow feeling of fear that was building up like an erupting volcano. she saw it, and what she saw is burnt into a memory that will never go away.
"DONT LET HER ESCAPE YOU HEAR ME" a heavy crescendo voice came to life as it boomed behind the cloaked woman, the sound coming from a large metal helmet with two glowing red eyes that stared out of the front. "SHE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS CRIME!" a bunch of men followed suit coated in white silver armour as they pursued her, the metal armour clanked and jittered like percussion instruments as they ran, they had a green layer shirt that covered the arms from underneath the metal armour. the distance between the men and her was far but was closing in rapidly.
"a huff a huff" the woman cried out in unrelenting agony with every step she took. she quickly dashed around on her right to an approaching thin alleyway that felt claustrophobic. from behind she can sense the army still after her. she stopped for a second to catch her breath.
"I SAW HER WENT THROUGH THAT WAY COME ON" one of the men called out, the voice echoed and got louder, it felt like it vibrated through her bones, causing her to shake slightly from the force of the voice. she continued not wanting to face the impeding fate that's behind her, her feet pounding against the wet stone pavement, it was like ice on each step.
"I have AHUFF AHUFF no choice *cough* I'll use it now while I still have distance with them. I can't and don't want to turn out like them" she uttered under her breath, not wanting to speak louder so they don't find her quicker.
something was occurring near the bottom of her legs as she ran, green ghostly energy was circling clockwise around her legs and speeding trying to build. within an instant the cloaked women quickly shot up high into the air and hit the right wall house in the alleyway, both feet made contact with the stone wall. in a split second again the same green ghostly energy came back to life and propelled her higher and towards the left side. this was repeated until she landed on the slanted brick roof, unfortunately, with the unbearable fatigue she built up she wasn't able to stick the landing and crashed heavily on the roof. she lay flat on her stomach as she gasped for air.
"AHUFF AHUFF heh it hurts this feeling its agony?" she squealed out, she paused for a moment "those no other choice I'm sorry," she said aloud, a small tear trickled out of the hood of the cloak from covering her eyes.
She coughed trying hard to not pass out from the overwhelming aching that's forsaking her. she could feel her strength waning, the cold wind whipping through her hair and chilling her body. she rolled over on her back and looked at the starry sky above her. she closed her eyes tightly as she tried to stop herself from passing out. quickly springing back up on her feet, from the vantage point she can see the layout of the city winding and branching out in the distance. she scanned around beaming in all directions, the darkness shrouded her vision.
"there" she whispered as she pointed at the south wall, which stretched around for miles that enveloped for miles
"I'm close I can feel it, once get I get through the walls they won't be able to chase me anymore" she whispered again, she was still breathing heavily causing her shoulder to rise and fall slowly. limbs were still shaking in fear and expressions grimacing in pain. she can still hear shouting from the men behind her like a giant hide n seek.
"Well here I go, those royal guards still don't where I'm heading and let's make sure of that." she thought to herself. she continued with the thought "this thing in the bag I can't them let get it even if it kills me, especially from what I've seen I've seen".
