" Get down this instance you fool "A soft angry voice pierces the silence of the plains. "Everybody can see you up there. Think before you do something or i will have to teach you the hard way." A man dressed in black looks up at something nobody has ever seen before. There hanging in the sky a young boy plays with some remaining birds. " Oh come on Blood, you seem to forget who you are talking too here. I am still royalty and therefore want to be treated that way " His young voice sounds offended as he looks down to the blond man with the cold blue eyes. The royal assassin, his fathers servant. His body fully trained, skilled and deadly. A wide dark grey cloak flutters around the athletic build man totally dressed in black. When you look at him for the first time you won’t see anything special about the young strong man. But when you look in his bright eyes you will see the cold, the cruelty. This man who was trained to kill enemies of the royal family and now after they have been slaughtered he is responsible for the young prince, whose life he saved on that day when he failed to save the whole family.

The boy looks at the bird on his hand. He hears the busy light voice of the little bird. Telling him that there are just a few birds left in the Golden Plains. Then with a soft sound, a sharp knife pierces the bird. It falls down dead, the happy twitter is broken off at one instance.

The boy looks down and sees the man cleaning his knife. " Are you insane Blood? Why did you do that for?" With his shocked voice the boy flies down.

" Don’t cry like a baby boy. A gave you a warning, i never give people warnings so be glad i gave you one. You chose to ignore it so it isn’t my fault your little friend is dead." Blood looks at the young prince. Deep down he feels sorry for the child, but he knows he has to be this way to protect him. He sighs as he walks on. " Let go my prince. We have a long way to go and i don’t know if we will make it." Again he looks over his shoulder. He knows they are being followed by something. He grins and feels the excitement running through his body. He can’t wait to see what it is and kill it.

" Blood? Where are we going too? I mean we have been walking for weeks now and we are in the Midlands already. At least we crossed the border just before didn’t we?" The prince looks at the grinning man next to him. So much mystery about that man. The boy shivers as he remembers the big slaughter. He remembers how Blood lifted him up and everybody that got near them was killed with a deadly precision. Again he feels scared and alone. So he relaxes as he walks and clears his mind. " Hello? Are you there? I need you. I am so scared now and i don’t know where we are or where we are going too. Hello? I don’t know if this works but i have this strange feeling you might hear me and i have to try. Hello?" The boy concentrates and hopes the mysterious voice in his head will return. He hasn’t heard it since the big slaughter and now he needs it so much. He sighs as he hears complete silence. Again no response from the voice.

" My prince? Thank God!!!! I couldn’t get through to you for weeks, but i knew you were still alive. That means you must be close to where i am now! Where are you my prince?" A soft voice penetrates his mind and the boy smiles. Finally an answer! Again he concentrates and sends a message back to her. " I am in the Midlands, just across the border with the Golden Plains. Blood is with me but we are being followed. He has this grin on his face and i saw that on the day of the slaughter as well. He is preparing for battle." His voice sounds scared. Blood looks back again and pushes him in his back to move faster. His face is cold as ice and the grin is still there. The young prince is really scared now and almost starts running.

" No my prince! When you start running we are dead! They are close and can smell your fear!" Bloods voice sounds calm as he looks into the dark eyes of his important friend and sees the fear in them.
