				This was the mission...<br><br>The best strategy had been laid out, as the targets lived on a mountain side.&nbsp; Two bandits, had taken residence in a cave with a steep slope.&nbsp; There seemed only to be one entrance.&nbsp; It was militarily sound, apart from what if they were approached from above the mountain.&nbsp; Vatik, would easily be able to perch herself above the entrance to their cave, able to see them walking on a narrow path with her dimly growing green eyes.<br><br>"mmm..&nbsp; mmph!"<br><br>There was a third person, female, and bound.&nbsp; The two bandits were shirtless, one of them carrying a woman covered in brown robe, the other holding a sack over their shoulders.&nbsp; Both of them armed with a few knives, a longblade and one of them with a crossbow strapped to his back.<br><br>"Heh heh ha, betcha wished you'd a listened to your husband 'fore we killed em"<br><br>"ruuunn", whined the second, whilst she struggled, followed by a hoarse laugh.<br><br>The bounty was specifically for an Amulet Brooch, of the Hoseland noblehouse.&nbsp; The brooch was an identifying mark for messengers.&nbsp; It could easily be used for subterfuge.&nbsp; The Hoseland noble family requested it be returned...&nbsp; If the bandits are killed in the process, a second bounty is applied for making the Nobles of Hoseland...&nbsp; Seem that much more noble.<br><br>The bandits approached the entrance to their cave

				Vatik had been watching for a long time, finding the bandits in question and tracking them back to their cave.&nbsp; And then she waited more, her eyes following as they left.&nbsp; While her prey had been gone she had positioned herself carefully above the cave entrance, readying her crossbow and spare arrow for when they returned.<br><br>When the two lowlifes came into sight Vatik had not been counting on them to be carrying a woman.&nbsp; She knew of a seal but it was of no consequence.&nbsp; She aimed at the taller of the two men and fired, her steel arrow cutting through his neck.

				A spray of blood filled the air, as the man released a "grulg!" noise.&nbsp; Falling to the floor like a sack as his neck was pierced through.&nbsp; The other man, holding the woman over his shoulder stood dumbfounded.&nbsp; Didn't come to his senses just yet, he gave an odd look on his face, then quickly coming to his senses he would begin to draw steel.<br><br>The sack(held by the taller man), fell to the floor and several goods fell out of it.&nbsp; It seemed as if they were spoils of few precious metals and other assortments came as they opened.&nbsp; It seemed as if Vatik's position was still unknown

				Quickly sliding the next arrow into the cross bow and setting it Vatik took aim once more.&nbsp; The bandit was confused and preparing himself, but had not seen her yet.&nbsp; She set her sights on his head and launched the arrow.<br><br>The faint sound of rushing air could be heard as the arrow ripped through the sky at its target.

				And like that it was over before it started.&nbsp; Two bolts from somewhere placed well, two lives over.&nbsp; The second bolt, pierced through the targets head and cracked his skull, the bolt didn't stay and spun off into the forest clattering on the ground, leaving a hole the size of finger in his head as he fell to his knees.&nbsp; The woman remained on the ground, sobbing to herself.&nbsp; She did seem aware of what was happening, but everything must have been moving so quickly for her.<br><br>The mountain side and the surrounding sparse woods seemed quiet, save for the sound of birds in the sky.&nbsp; A cool wind passed by.<br><br>The cave, if Vatik decided to explore it, would be extremely dark before opening up into a small torch lit cove.&nbsp; Three trunks laid out against some straw cots.

				Vatik smiled with satisfaction at the quick displacement of the two men.&nbsp; She harnessed her crossbow on her back and began to work her way down the hillside.&nbsp; As she descended she made a list of what needed to be taken care of next in the immediate moments from most important to least.&nbsp; In minutes she was on the path standing above the crying hostage and two dead bodies.<br><br>First she retrieved the arrow that had not been lost to the forest.&nbsp; Vatik grabbed the end of of the steel bolt and placed her booted foot on the bandits skull, pulling hard to dislodge it.&nbsp; After wiping it clean and replacing it in her quiver she turned to the woman.&nbsp; She needed details on who she was and what had happened, the hostage could give them.<br><br>Bending down Vatik pulled the woman into a sitting position and shushed her as she untied the gag.&nbsp; "Your captors are dead, I am not here to kill you.&nbsp; Calm yourself."

				The woman, gave a calmer her face as she stared into the eyes of Vatik.&nbsp; She seemed to have been a beautiful woman, with pale lips behind the tears and fear that she was shedding.&nbsp; Upon looking into Vatik's green glowing eyes she seemed to calm considerably.&nbsp; There was a rumor, that Androids cannot lie.&nbsp; It was completely untrue, but it was common that they rarely lied for the reasons that Humans did, the reputation left a strong stereotype in the favor of Androids.<br><br>"...thank you" she croaked.&nbsp; She sat and she seemed to bring her tears down.&nbsp; Although she gasped from her sobs sporadically.&nbsp; Mouse brown hair slid along the side of her tear stained cheeks, "My family is avenged.." she spoke, moreso as if she were speaking to herself.<br><br>

				Vatik worked to untie the woman and helped her to her feet before grabbing the bag that had fallen to the ground.&nbsp; It had some weight to it but not enough to be a hindrance.&nbsp; She tossed the bag over her shoulder to support part of the weight as she began her questioning.&nbsp; "What is your name woman?"
