Before he even realized who it was, Viktor had his crossbow pointed at the welp. The mists cleared a bit at last giving him a good look at his attacker. "Louis! You idiot! What have you done!" He couldn't very well kill him for this mistake, no matter how much it angered him.<br/><br/>But then Louis mentioned the mists.<em>Damn! How could I be so foolish, to have not thought it through. The others will see this, and I have not an explanation for it or my presence within it.</em><br/><br/>"Well, boy. You just made yourself useful," he said in a low voice. "Lucky for me, you have come at just the right time." And Viktor moved forward slightly as he yelled, "Evil boy! What have you done!? You will not harm these people with your foul magics!" Viktor aimed at the boy's heart and pulled the trigger. The bolt firmly implanted itself in his chest. Viktor went forward and covered the boys mouth and nose, just in case he had any more breath in him to call out, and to speed up his journey to the other side. Viktor slipped his spellbook into the boy's pocket.<br/><br/>When he felt the last bit of life leave the boy, Viktor looked around him for anyone who might have seen what just happened. Satisfied the two were alone, he ran out of the mists toward the other men in a panic. "Come quickly, men! There was a wizard among us, and... the mists... Louis! It was Louis! He attacked me, and... I shot him." Viktor stumbled around as if he were wounded. The small cut on his arm was not nearly life threatening, but he had to make a good show of it. He held his arm, fell to his knees, the crossbow landing on the ground near him.
