Zilior walked along the long path that seemed immense as he looked in front of him.<br/>As far as the eye could see there was nothing but the sandy road, grass and some trees now and then.<br/>A gentle breeze blew through the man's hair. Then he stood still. Was it just his imagination or had he heard a scream? He looked back at the barely visible inn. Could it be...?<br/>He listened as focused as he could. Another scream sounded, this time he was sure of it.<br/>He turned around and started running towards the inn as fast as he could.<br/><br/>Why did he even care so much? He didn't owe these people anything. He had paid for both his meals and stay at the inn. The scared face of the cute faerie appeared in his mind. He shook his head and ran even faster.<br/>The inn seemed larger and larger as he got closer. He could clearly see horses tied up to a pole. They looked dehydrated and tired. Another scream sounded. Out of instinct Zilior grabbed his dagger. He made it!<br/>With a harsh pull he opened the door and rushed in. Two men looked up with a surprised expression on their face. The men were rather muscular and looked threatening. Taking adventage of their confusion he charged right at them and attacked, aiming for their heads. One of the robbers couldn't evade in time. His dagger left a huge gap in his neck where blood was gushing out. The second one jumped away and pulled out his sword. 'I'll make you suffer for that!' he threatened Zilior.<br/>Without saying a word Zilior threw his dagger at the man hitting his eye.<br/><br/>The man fell on the floor while cursing and screaming. Zilior simply looked down on him and pushed the dagger trough his skull with his foot. Then he noticed the maiden lying on the floor. Her clothes were ripped off and it seemed she was unconscious. He kneeled next to the girl and wrapped his mantle around her.<br/>She slowly opened her eyes and her wings started flapping a bit. He smiled, a quit rare occasion.<br/>The girls eyes grew big and her lips moved, but he couldn't understand what she tried to say.<br/>Then everything around him became black. The last thing he remembered was falling down.
