"Run!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. They were just a few yards away. I was sweating buckets of water every second. How could he? How could he betray his own family?

Hi, my name is Kornos, and i'm a wanted muderer, an outlaw, or maybe just a refugee. It was'nt what i had in mind. When i was hired, I thought it would be easy, walk around killing important people, but not the one on my sixth mission.

How did this happen? It all started when I was sixteen....

"Wow, this place gets hotter by the second!" I said to my best friend, Hald. His name isn't really nice, but don't mess with him, he can put up a really good fight(and I mean it).

"You betcha," Hald said. He was about as high as i was. About 169cm tall. He has a strong body. There's not much to describe...except that he's lazy and quite dumb. I'm the one who always does his homework while he sits on the sofa playing his laptop.

Now, we were working on my father's farm. We're raking the leaves that had fallen last week(guess thats what you get for not raking it). Suddenly, Hald shouted, "On guard!" I barely had time to defend myself before he jabbed me with a stick. I was lucky though, I managed to dodge and jump backwards.

Good? I don't think so. As soon as i jumped back, I almost lost my balance but Hald caught me in time. He pulled me up and shove me towards another direction. "The duel is still on you know," he said. I saw a stick by my side and instantly grabbed it.

As soon as I grabbed the stick, Hald struck at me. However, he misjudged me and I rolled to the side. Before he could get his senses back, I struck at his waist. After the strike, Hald instantly moved behind me for a close stike. I felt him move and was able to parry his strike on time. Although I was winning, Hald showed no sign on giving up.

I gave a sly smile and faked a stab at his gut. Hald winced and I got the chance to disarm him. He backed off and got into a defensive stance. "Admit it, you can't win me," I said teasingly. "In your dreams!" he said. I grinned and faked a strike at his ribs. He winced, but i wasn't able to make the second strike because Hamilton walked up towards us.

Hamilton wasn't a person you should mess with. He's a big guy with a muscular body. He is also, my father's best guard. Hamilton doesn't like us fooling around, especially during work time. "Third time this week Kornos. One more time and you'll be in big trouble. And I'll be there to watch the show," Hamilton said grimly. After he said that the laughed. I knew he would like to see my father punish me. He's been dying for that moment to come, but I always got out of trouble.

As Hamilton walked away, I sneered at him. My father was a good man, he took Hamilton to work on his farm because nobody wanted to employ Hamiton. I was also wondering why my father employed Hamilton.

School...everyone hates it. However, I don't hate school, I just hate the strict teachers and the loads of homework.

I went to school as normal today, but to my surprise, the emperor's head spy wanted to see me.
