Alastar laid his right hand on one of the Collinwood trees. He bent his head down toward the ground with his eyes closed and took a deep breath of air.
"It's close by, I can sense it," Alastar confidently claimed to himself, "Its the only thing seperating me from my pay."

[joining with Amekyl]
Amekyl watched the stranger through thick foliage not far from where the hunter was standing. He sat there, silent, waiting for the hunter to move or do something. Watching with utter curiosity.

Alastar opened his eyes and took a straight look forward. He reached for the longsword presiding on his hip and held it in front of himself, the sheen of the blade shining with the sunlight protruding from the canopies of the forest.
With every step Alastar took his nerves began to quiver and the sweat began to fall from his brow and to the soft, warm, ground.
Alastar quickly moved forward and then suddenly hid behind the nearest tree.
"Its his camping ground," Alastar thought to himself, "and there he is, in flesh and blood, Maron Denli."
Maron Denli escaped from jail about four days past. He had been convicted for murder on five counts which is as to why Alastar was sent by the guard to kill him on sight.

The Weretiger watched as Alastar hid behind the tree. The think canopy above let little light through and most was filtered by the leaves thus making it quite dark. Amekyl could see quite cleary despite this because of his night vision eyes as all Weretigers had.
Amekyl quickly jumped from the foliage he was hiding amongst and landed on his feet near the hunter. He held out his sword and pointed it towards Alastar, snarling. "What are you?"

Alastar turned around quickly, immediatley noticing the blade positioned toward his neck.
"Would you please be quiet! I am trying to complete my current objective and I cannot have any flaws in doing so," Alastar demanded in a hushed voice.

Amekyl growled deeply at Alastar. "It talks."'
He looked behind through the corner of his eye adn then back at Alastar. "I should just kill you now before they do."

"They are not even after me at all! In fact they do not even know that I am here, which is exactly the point! Now either move away from here or assist me!" Alastar snapped, "Oh, by the way, if you've never seen a human talk before, then I suggest going back to school and learning the basic facts of races."

Amekyl lowered his sword slowly. "Hmmm, human. I have heard legends of this race, supposedly weakened over the years. I can see now," Amekyl looked over his shoulder again. "They do know you are here. They are watching us right now, through the trees..."
He waited a moment. "What is your business here."

Alastar took a quick look behind the tree he was leaning against and then turned back to face the Weretiger.
"I'm an assasin. I was sent by the guard to take out the man over there, Maron Denli. He's an escaped convict. His charge includes five counts of murder. Seeing as how it seems that he has noticed we are here I suggest that we take him out while we have the time to do so. Are you with me?"

Amekyl thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. "So, you are going to kill him and then leave? Because, I wouldn't stay around for long. This place is cursed."

"Well that was plan," Alastar explained, "my word is my proof, so I have no need to prove he's dead."

Amekyl sheathed his sword. "Where is this... Maron Denli? Is he Nearby? How did he get here?" Amekyl looked around, waiting for an answer.

Maron Denli is the one behind the tree...over there," Alastar pointed to the man who was now looking at them suspiciously, "I've been tracking him down for about two days now. The guard had a good feeling that he was going to be in this location. I don't know where they got that information from though."
Alastar immediatley reached for his longsword and held it in both of his hands,
"Whenever your ready."

Amekyl turned to Alastar and grabbed him by the neck and held him against the tree. "On second thoughts, you should just leave him here. He won't last a day in this jungle, neither will you. The things that are watching us right now... there are hundreds of them... even if Maron draws his weapon, it will only make them angry. They will tear him to shreds. You should just leave here and never return." The Weretiger stared into Alastar's eyes. "I was willing to give you a chance to leave but it seems you intended to stay. If this man travels to an uncharted island then obviously he wants to die..." Alaster finished and held him there.

Alastar began to walk away from the area, taking the Weretiger's advice. Suddenly, Alastar reached for a knife that was hidden in his cloak and threw it at Maron head, killing him instantaneously. Before the Weretiger had the chance to turn around, Alastar was gone.
