The surrounding forest and swamp were silent, save for the chirping and clicking of insects, which clouded the air in stinging, biting swarms. The moon was high in the sky and was the only source, save for spell or torch, of light in the wilderness.
'Seems the name is accurate,' Vanden thought to himself. 'It is certainly dark enough.....'
Vanden Samandas had been tracking his prey for weeks and the chase had now led through Black Marsh into Blackwood, Cyrodiil. It was beginning to grow boring, as now the target, a tried and true Bosmer criminal, knew that someone was after his life and had grown cautious. Vanden felt a tinge of pity for the Bosmer, as his crime, raping a governor's daughter, had brought great rage and fury on the behalf of the governor, enough to hire Vanden.
Vanden knelt on the dirt road and with his fingers traced tracks. Judging from the dampness of the soil, they seemed fresh. His target, or someone else, had passed by here recently. They may even still be close by.
'Nearly had you in Gideon,' Vanden thought. 'Perhaps I underestimated you.....'
Vanden followed the tracks down the road, sticking close to the treeline. Lights appeared in the distance and Vanden was suddenly aware of where the tracks, and possibly his prey, led; the city of Leyawiin.
