Chapter 99: A New Set

"Who are you?" Is my immediate question. The both of them sit cross-legged in the snow, holding their thighs tightly as if anxious for something.

Given the scene of death behind me, I can give a solid guess as to what they're expecting. 

For their sakes I stuff my bloodied hands into my pocket and act as relaxed and incapable of harm as I can.

The one on the left, a burly man with a sword sheathed by his side, a warrior no doubt, if we get into a tussle, I shouldn't underestimate him, my last experience with a sword-wielder wasn't pretty. 

I'm not particularly ready to replicate that event as I stand now with less than a hundred MP left in me.

The warrior contrasts his partner; coupled with the plain white of the snow and the dull grey of the hair on his head, the deep auburn of his partners hair stands out like a sour thumb.

The sight of auburn hair brings back some memories and that's how I know for sure, this man, is the Mayor.
