The rain crashed roughly against your thinly covered self, you decided to leave your armor to give yourself a more vulnerable look. The cold biting your skin made you shiver as you looked ahead from the path, nothing but trees and more gravel.
  You sighed tiredly, turning off your lantern once you heard the sound of metal clanging. Patrol possibly.
  The lighting boomed making your horse neigh out in fear, jumping up as it's front hooves kicked the air. Shit. Your cover was blown.
  You tried your best to calm your horse, trying to lull it back to being calm, but it only seemed to irritate it more as it kicked you off it's saddle. You growled softly, your bottom hitting the ground roughly. You had to shut it up somehow.
You reached inside your pocket, fishing out your pocket knife.

"No hard feelings. Just business"
-Time skip-

The forest was dead silent as you took off your gloves, your calloused fingers running through your hair. You tossed the bloody gloves into a bush, narrowing your eyes as you saw the horse's hoof poking out.
  "You gave a pretty good fight, knocked the wind outta me."You wiped the blood off your knife, "but you weren't enough"
  The lightning boomed again. Giving you a glimpse of where you were for a split second. You cursed under your breath. The horse led you astray.
