Asher
Asher climbed silently into the top window of a large home south of the keep. He jumped in and walked silently down the corridor, he was searching for something.
Asher approached a room with candle light illuminating it, he stayed low, and stacked up against the wall. He peaked in and saw a man writing on parchment paper. Around him, the papers lined the walls poking out of barrels, boxes, and leaning against the wall.
"Lets see..." the man said in deep thought, "If he wants a ten by four foot... Yes, that could work." The man put his quill to the parchment and began writing, but was stopped when a dagger flew by and cut his quill in half. He turned around in fear to see a robed, masked man pointing a crossbow at his face, it was Asher. "Scream and you die". "Wha.. What do you want? Take anything!" the man said in a panicked voice.
"You designed the kings keep, am I correct?" Asher said assertively, the man nodded, "Where are the blueprints?" The man got up shaking, "Yes, one moment" the man said. He rummaged through a box full of papers and pulled out a piece of parchment and laid it out on the table. "Here it is." Asher and the man stood side by side looking at the paper.
"If the king finds out I helped him, he'll kill me." the man thought fearfully. He reached slowly into a drawer in his desk and slowly pulled out a knife. He swung it towards Ashers throat.
Asher ducked down and redirected the swing away from his body, he then proceeded to twist the mans arm by grabbing his hand and elbow. The arm made a crack and the man fell on the floor in pain. Asher stabbed the mans dagger into the mans hand, bent down, and whispered, "If you tell anyone, I'll find you, and give you a death worst than anything the king can dish out." The man looked at him in pain and fear and nodded.
Asher got up from the man, grabbed the parchment paper, and left the same way he came. He had some homework to do.
