The Lord’s Castle

Lith, Arya and the mercenaries were inside the Lord's castle. 

It was dark but none of them seemed to have a problem navigating their way to the man's chambers. 

On the way, the mercenaries did their job taking out the maid servants who may have posed a threat. So far, they did not encounter any traps.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. 

A little too smoothly…

Arya stopped in her tracks and stood still. Watching her, Lith stopped as well. The mercenaries were in the front and didn't notice the two stopping. 

"Something's not right…"

Arya suddenly had a bad premonition.

She looked around, as if she could see with a blindfold on her face, and held Lith's hand. 

"Stay close."

*Fssshhhhhhh*

Something went past the two and creeped right behind two assassin mercenaries.

Thud. Thud.
