Something wet falls from above,it's red " take cover" Simil shouts. Curious they all look up and to there horror discover the source of the rain. All had heard the tales of Charred Waters bay, all sorts of dark things happen in there it was said. Now here they were staring at the lost party they were tasked with finding. man and horse all hang from the trees, belly's and throats slit and their entrails hung on display with what seemed like an endless supply of blood raining down onto the snow. "At least fourty, I count at least fourty man and horse included " said Gabriel as some of the torches were put out by the blood rain.

They had all but turned around when a voice they heard "PARDON ME, BUT DOES MY ART BORE YOU?" in horror they froze. Arrin was the first to turn around "don't look boy" wispherd his uncle as he tried to still the boy,but the boy had looked.

A figure in the shape of a man, not so small not so big either in it's hands it held a rusted old blade and in the other a horse's head. Arrin stood there, stared at him for a while then recognised the figure, "Petyr, Petyr is that you? look everyone it's Petyr." At that they all turned and horror struck them from the vision they saw, the stable boy was completely drenched in blood. "Our horses, what happened to our horses." Shouted Gabriel, "why I ate them of course" spoke Petyr "and good did they taste, as did the boy.....sorry I forget his name.......aaaaah Benjamin, Benjamin was his name put up a fight that one,or at least he tried to ,he thought he could warn the rest of you lot frankly he was a bit squimish for my test. Benjamin or toy, he stood there Frozen in horror and confusion as I gutted away at the first horse and began my dinner.

Simil lunged at the stable boy in a burst of anger and fury swinging her sword wildly while the rest watched astonished at her speed and ferocity. Servati was the quiet of the lot as the rest cheered her on for he saw that though her blows were straight and true they did not seem to phase her opponent. So fast was the blade they barely caught but a glimpse, Simil's Torso went flying through the air . All froze at the sight before them , Arrin the boy, though he had seen death this was the first time he had seen of such, Simil lay in the snow coughing up blood the swiftness of her opponents blade too quick for her mind " kill it ,kill this unholy thing!!!" she managed to yell with a mouth full of blood as it gurgled out and spewed from both her nose and mouth staining her hair an even darker red.

Moonlight shone through the stable boys wounds and slowly they begin to close, all the while Arrin just stood there staring back and fourth from Simil to Petyr while the rest made their stance. "Who......who and what are you really? " the stable boy looked upon Arrin , "I am Arrin of house Whale ,who are you ?" he managed to sound braver now. The stable boy smiled a bloody grin then gave an eerie laugh "finally , a boy with some manners" it spoke. bowing down in courtesy , " you little one may call me Luorim if you like.
