I stood in my room in the Red Lion completely decked in black. Longsleeved, turtlenecked woollen jumper and leggings. I had signed off for my day off this afternoon, so no one would be expecting me back at the castle for another day. Having already paid for the room, I hopefully wouldn't be returning, here so I quickly packed my few possessions into my belt bag. Finally, I picked a few raven feathers from my collection and threaded them through the back of my shimmering mask. I tied it my head with a piece of black ribbon.
Picking up the black bow I had stolen from the weaponry and slinging my quiver across my back, I opened my window and leapt out into the night. I have yet to figure out how to fly but that didn't matter because I was only one storey up and one of my many lessons included how to land safely and quietly.
Slipping round the back of the cabin, I was suprised to find the back door firmly shut but not locked. Carefully, I drew it open and stepped inside.
There was no one in the small, one-roomed interior, but I asked the wind what it felt in the room. At first, it didn't reply, then at last it hesitantly talked. I drew an arrow and notched in my bow. The only explanation for the wind's reluctance to speak was that another sorcerer was here too, preventing the wind speaking.
It instead began to murmur about once how it had seen a man who could move so fast, that he vibrated and turned invisible. At first I was confused by its sudden change of topic. However, then I realised it was trying to explain what was going on. I slowly scanned the room looking for any signs of the "invisible man". I noticed at one place that the air was rippling but I could sense no wind presence. Drawing back my bow, I aimed directly at that spot and said slowly, "I know you're there. I can feel you. If you don't, I will shoot you and then I'll walk away and never come back."
A few moments passed but at last the air began to vibrate slower and a figure became visible. When I saw who it was, I smiled to myself. Lowering the bow, I said to him, "So you came. I think its time you tell me who you are."
