Snippet #2564211

(^that was interesting)



Rinen


The keep fell almost 3 hours after the Scarlets had arrived, per instruction they had stayed at a range and acted as snipers, picking off any foot soldier foolish enough to step out of the doors of the keep. When the battle had ended the lord who had hired him called him in to his tent, the lord of the keep kneeled there battered and bruised. "Well, Mr. Hawk, we were just speaking about you" he said, motioning towards the defeated lord. "He wanted to know why so many of his men and archers suddenly lost their will to fight with out any clear reason, I told him and he didn't believe me when I said I had brought the famous band of gypsy sharpshooters along to aid in my siege, for a price of course." he pointed towards a few small chests that were have open, filled with gold coin and a few of the defeated lords jewels. One gem caught his eye and Rin bent down and plucked it up to find it attached to a ring. The defeated lord looked at it and a look of despair came across his face. Rin knelt down and the defeated lord, "What importance does this ring hold to you?" he asked, in a gentle tone. The lord spoke, " I-it was my wife's ring, I gave it to her when I married her". Rin stood up and rummaged through the chests until he found the lords matching ring. He turned towards his employer and spoke, "He is of no use to you, I will take him and add him to my clan as a worker, as long as you have nothing against it." His employer simply shrugged and replied, "Do what you will with him, he is yours now." Rin turned and knelt towards the defeated lord and said, " If you truly wish to have these rings back, then do what I tell you until we get back to my camp, understand?" the lord nodded and Rin helped him to his feet. They went for the exit of the tent when Rinen stopped and spoke towards him employer, "I will send a few of my men for the payment." When he and the lord left the camp and were walking towards his own, he stopped and unsheathed his dagger. At the sight, the lord began to tear up. Rin saw this and smiled just a bit. "look my friend, we gypsys do not believe in slavery, so im letting you go, but I suggest you stay with me and my men until we get back to our home." he said wile cutting the lords bounds off. The lord looked at him and said, "thank you so much, I owe you tremendously." Rin replied, " Aye, you do friend, also, here, I recommend you keep them around your neck for now. " he said and tossed the rings to the lord. "Now, I must go attend to a important matter, go strait to my camp and tell the guards that the captain sent you and that he says you are one of them now." The lord nodded and began a full on sprint towards the Scarlets camp. Rinen walked in the direction of a small thicket of trees and smiled. "All in a days work" he thought.
