Richard had followed the mercenary for quite a while now. They were walking trough the coutryard when his friend Markus noticed him:
'' Richard!'' He shouted with confident voice and started eagerly walking towards them. But for his surprise, the man leading Richard, the mercenary, raised his gunblade in a mere moment and pointed it at Markus.
'' So so... what we got here? A friend of Richard huh.... Want to come closer? If that's the case, you can say goodbye to Richard before you try!'' The man said with mean and irritating voice, but his face was still cold and emotionless as it had been before. The face of Richard's turned worried and he said quickly.
'' You darn bastard, watch your words!'' Richard's voice was powerful and quite loud so it took more attention to the event. Two girls from the main hall had came to watch what is going on.
'' Whoaa ... Rich, what's going on?'' Markus asked while he had come a step or two closer to Richard. His face reflected astonishment and fear.
Then a bang.
'' Told ya not to come any closer!'' The mercenary shouted and continued walking. He had shot to Markus leg. Markus was lying down holding his leg and screaming. His eyes were filled with sorrow and pain, body reflecting the pain caused by the bullet in his leg. Blood was slowly spilling out from the wound and spreading on the ground.
'' You ..'' But he couldn't finish the sentence because Richard interrupted him.
'' Wasn't this a lesson for you? Just stay out of it!'' The voice of Richard's was unusually fearful and weak. A tone of sorrow was hidden in it. His face was still calm, it seemed as Richard knew a way to save himself and his friends.
'' Wow, Richard you really are a smart boy!'' The man continued and headed towards the gate while giving a glance or two to behind to make sure if no-one is following them.
The moment when they made their way to the gate and mercenary started unlocking the door, Richard had unseated his blade and had hit mercenary with the flat side of the sword. The mercenary lost consciousness and Richard knew that that's his only opportunity.
'' Now or never!'' He thought and smashed the door down with his bare hands. The door fell down to outside.
'' Shi..'' He mumbled. The door had been quite strong and big so he had sprained his elbow quite badly. Even his armor didn't defend it enough.
Without a moment of thinking he started running towards the way trough canyon to a forest. He once had thought that it would be the best point to hide.
