The Man with White Hair

Alexis

I peeked out from around the oak tree I was standing behind, so I could catch a glimpse of the man who destroyed my village. I made sure I only stuck my head out far enough that I could see him. He had striking white hair that was just over shoulder length long. I could not see his face because he was turned but I did see he was wearing a long sleeved shirt and around the elbow, his shirt slit open down the rest of his arm. His pants were black and they flared out at the feet.

I slowly pulled out my sword. There would be only one chance to take him. I closed my eyes and thought about my family’s faces. I heard him stop moving; I steadied my blade, took a deep breath, and stepped out from behind the tree.

He didn’t turn at once but kept his back to me “Can I help you?” I growled, “Only thing you can do to help me is die.” He didn’t even flinch “And why is that?”
“My family!”
“I have no quarrel with you or your family. I don’t even know you.”
“Liar! You destroyed the village of Laso and that included my family!” He didn’t say anything so I took it as a sign that he was remembering, I sneered “Do you remember then?” This time he turned to face me, his eyes looking me over “Yes, I remember quite well in fact.” I didn’t let my face change “Before I kill you I would like to know one thing.” A smile played on his lips “Oh, what’s that?”
“All I want to know is why, why did you kill them?” He sighed, “Well, I think it’s because one of them ticked me off. Ah, yes, a guy named Nathan was the one.”
“What did he do?”
“He wouldn’t leave me alone so I killed him and others got involved and wait just a second why didn’t I kill you?” Regret and guild filled my face before I could stop them “I had gone to another village for something for my mother.” I put my sword out in front of me “Enough talk, it’s your time to die.” I came at him, swinging my sword to the right. He looked as though he dissolved, then reappeared behind me “Shall we make a wager on this battle?” I swung again and he dodged, I growled, “I don’t see why not.” He came at me and I jumped back, he smirked “Shall we say this is what will happen: If you win, you can kill me, but if I win, you get to be my servant for six months. Deal?”
“Deal.”
