The Witchers

Lila,

I guided my horse out of the gate following the others cautiously my sword sheathed at the side of my body. My hand hovered cautiously over it, I wasn't taking any risks. My keen eyesight picked out the details of the landscape in front of me. It was so beautiful and peaceful, that it was hard to beleive what was happening in Cormathor. Sam voiced my thoughts,

"It's so peaceful out here." I nodded in agreement and kicked my horse lightly sending her trotting forwards. I thought I was going to get on with Sam, she seemed to be the confident girl that I wasn't. But she was quiet at times, when she seemed to be lost in her own little world. I had yet to see her lose her temper, although she could be spiteful at times.

I laughed under my breath at my summary of Sam and I saw Tristan glance at me out of the corner of my eye. I quickly dropped my gaze, pretending to be observing the ground below me and kicked my horse forward breaking the formation slightly. I took a deep breath and pulled her back under control, avoiding Tristans gaze.

Kaladore quickly got bored and was soon nodding off. He whispered softly to his horse calming it's trot so it was moving more smoothly. Finally comfortable he laid forward in the saddle and slipped into a light sleep. The steady breathing of the horse as she moved put Kaladore in such a relaxed state that he didn't even notice his horse was slowly moving to the right.

The next thing he knew he heard someone scream. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see Lila starring down at him. "Lila, what are you doing by my horse?"

"Why, why are you over by my horse?!"

"What," Kaladore looked over and noticed he had drifted over. "I'm sorry, guess I fell asleep." He got up and smiled while scratching his head and moved his horse back over into formation. Laying back he decided he would watch the clouds instead of sleeping so he could at least control his horse.

Sorry, people I am dropping out of this. Just kill my character.

sorry to hear it.

Sam~~

The morning dew coated Sam's boots, sending little metallic sparkles onto her horses saddle.
A scream echoed through what seemed to be her conscious state of mind and her eyes shot toward it's maker, she let out a small chuckle.

"Are we going too slow for you?" She chirped to Kaladore merrily.

"No, it's just perfect," He muttered, zoned out looking straight ahead.

"Lila are you feeling ok?" Sam echoed back to Lila whom had just screamed, noting that Lila nodded back.

Sam continued to smile, something in the air wasn't right but she couldn't quite tell. The elven girl looked over at Tristan whom seemed unruffled.

"Is something off to you?" Sam slightly mouthed to him.

Tristin~~

I nodded to Sam. We were almost in Cormathor, and I could already smell the smoke. A village was burning near by, but it was too close for it to be the one they were looking for. I motioned for her to stay silent and got back in position. Right now there was no trouble, and it wouldn't do any good to get them on edge in case it was nothing.

I patted Horse on the neck and he shifted his head from side to side playfully. This horse had been the only thing constant in my life since I left Malkier, it was a pity I had never gotten around to naming it.

We rode for another mile slowly before dismounting and allowing the horses to feed. We made Kaladore fetch water so he wouldn't fall asleep on us. After the horses had gotten a drink and filled their stomachs we all mounted up and took the formation, only this time Sam and I took point, and the other four stayed in the diamond.

As we rode I knew the others were starting to smell the smoke and they became more and more restless, except for Kaladore, who seemed to notice nothing.

"Be on your guard, but don't attack unless fired upon."

Lila,

We were nearing Cormathor, and I could smell smoke coming from up ahead. I gripped the hilt of my sword anxiously. I didn't know how Kaladore could be so relaxed.

We rode on for a while, climbing a hill gradually. As we neared the top a scene of devestation met our eyes below us. A small village was burning, but it could not be the one we were looking for as we had stumbled across it to quickly. Sam and Tristan slowed to a stop and looked at each other.

Kaladore looked upon the burning town and sighed, "And here I thought we'd be able to have an easy assignment, but I guess nothing can be so simple when you're a Whitcher."

Lila shot hin a glance, "How can you be so calm when there is a burning down right in front of you."

"Because I never see any need to tense up or to get up set. It's too much of a hassle and in all honesty it can interfere with battle as I learned from that troublesome training." Yawning Kaladore dismounts his horse and walks up to stand between Tristan and Sam.

"What the, Kaladore why are you up here?" Asked Tristan.

"I don't think who ever did this is far away."

"How do you know that?" Asked Sam.

"Well, for one, the buildings are still standing while burning which means they were set fire not too long ago. Besides, I think those who did this are still near by. I can't sleep."

Sam~~

Sam's eyes widened a bit, in an attempt to remain calm she tightened her grip on the reigns of her horse.

"We need to do something now," Her voice was shaking as she watched one of the house crumple into ashes.

"There," Kaladore pointed with a sigh at a couple of men who were obviously just a bit more than tipsy. They had something on a leash, it was large and certainly not a dog nor horse.

"We are going to stay calm and trot into the village," Tristan whispered.

"How can you stay calm?" Sam questioned as she watched, trying to get a closer look at the beast.

"Is that a dragon?" Lila noted too, her voice a bit shaky.

Can someone take over Esony?
Tristan~~

My heart leapt. Yes. Yes it was. Dragon's hadn't been seen in over a hundred years? What were they doing with one, even so small.

"Sam. Take a bow, get on the roofs to provide support. Esony, go with her."

The two female Witchers rode quietly into town and hopped on the shallow roofs, keeping low to avoid being spotted.

"The rest of you, stay tight. Don't spread out too much, and we should be fine. If they attack, I'll go for the dragon and I'll need you to keep the men off my back. Understood?"

Kaladore seemed relieved that he wouldn't have to fight a dragon and nodded. Lila however, seemed disappointed.

Lila,

I was a little dissapointed about not being able to fight the dragon as I wanted to prove myself to the others who regarded me as the baby in the group. Me and Kaladore split up taking either side of the village. We trotted closer, soon dismounting our horse and tethering them to trees.

I unsheathed my sword. I looked across at Kaladore, nodded and we advanced keeping to the edge of the village. I saw Sam and Esony up on the roof and Sam smiled reasurringly at me. I nodded back. Tristan moved forward getting closer to the village convinced that there was no-one but the dragon left.

An arrow flew out of the village and glanced off a tree not far away from where I was stood. Tristan's eyes widened in horror and we all ducked for cover as more arrows flew through the air.

Kaldore ducked behind a building on the outskirts of the town just as the arrows began to fall. Looking out he saw Lila running for cover, but noticed she wouldn't make it in time. "I really don't want to be doing this." Kaladore ran out grabbing Lila and leaping for cover just as a volley hit ground. "You alright?"

"Y, yeah, thank you," said Lila.

Kaladore gritted his teeth as he noticed an arrow was lodged in his left thigh. Girting his teeth he broke the shaft, "Great, what I get for going out of my way. So not like me."

Lila noticed the arrow and gasped, "Are you going to be okay?"

"Fine. The arrow head isn't deep, give me a second." Slowing his breath Kaladore dug into his leg and yanked the arrow head letting out a loud curse. "Now, I just have to dress it."

"Let me." Lila placed her hands hover the wound, and with a few subtle gestures her hands began to glow. Slowly the bleeding stopped and soon enough the wound had closed.

Once she removed her hands Kaladore took some bandages he had in his pouch and wrapped his leg. patting it he smiled, "Thanks, that should hold just fine. I guess we're even." Standing he stretched a little bit. And waited as another volley hit home. Then a voice could be heard.

"We know you're there Witchers! Come out and face death!" The voice appeared to be male.

"Great, know what. We're pined, who knows what happened to Sam and Esony, we have no idea how many enemies there are, and Tristan has a dragon to deal with, baby or not. This is turning out to one crappy day."

Lila,

We were in a lot of trouble, Kaladore had already been hit and who knew what had happened to Sam and Esony. I nodded in agreement to Kaladore's comment. Crap, that was as good a word as any to describe what was happening.

"Come on," Kaladore said taking my hand. "We might as well fight, they know we are here and we won't escape now." I nodded and moved forward allowing Kaladore to guide me. I balanced my sword in my hand. A flurry more arrows came our way, we ducked and I knocked a few away with my sword.

"There must be loads of them." I commented, "that was a lot of arrows."

Sam~

Sam looked at Esony who matched her grin, they both were in for a treat.

"We are not going to attack them head on are we?" Esony asked as their demeanors faded to worry as another team of archers shot at the rest of their ground team.

"If we shoot out the rafters of their buildings they will fall like rocks into the dragon group if we plan it right," Sam offered while she knocked her bow, she laughed at the idea of those people in chaos.

"Let's have at it then mate?" Evony aimed.

"Oh let us darling," Sam laughed, waiting for the dragon's group to come closer. The dragon wasn't doing it on purpose, it wasn't even full grown yet, the poor thing was confused.

The girls pulled back their anchors and aimed at the weak spot of wood. Letting go again and again made the duos hair swish back with the wind they produced. Soon enough the wood creaked and the other archers fell to the ground confused upon their own team.

(Tell me if this is an ok character.)

Name: Amy Little

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Personality: Usually she's quiet and "to herself." She doesn't really talk alot, but does enjoy the company of others. She is not shy, she just doesn't prefer to talk. All of her life she's been the observant type, not really standing out.

Appearance: http://l.yimg.com/img.omg.yahoo.com/omg ... 725210.jpg Has a tattoo of a snake-like dragon coiling around her right wrist.

History: Was born and raised in the Dragon Coast. Her mother taught her to always be swift and silent, as a way to protect herself from creatures of the forest. She never knew her father.

Witcher Status: Amy is a Sneak, and tends to stay back in the dense forest to hide. Her tattoo is used to summon the Dragons from the coast. It is very powerful, but hard to control. Sometimes the dragons will come to her, but do as they please. She uses a very long knife to silently cut the throats of her enemies. She is very fast and hard to detect.

Other: Uses the magic of the Witchers when she uses her tattoo, so it often drains her energy. Up for love.
