Its Monday!
---------------------------------------
William woke up, yawning but still not moving. His eyelids still wanted to stay shut, but he knew that he needed to get up. He took the cloth that shut out the light off his eyes, only to be assaulted by the bright sun. He hissed a bit at the sight, turning his head away as it hurt his eyes to try and look at anything bright.
"Where are we now?" William asked, feeling rather hungry.
"I believe a few miles east of Stromgarde" Valinaria said, who was still shackled in the chains.
"Stromgarde?" William asked, not really familar on what that was, "perhaps we should stop by there for supplies before we continue then" he said, the others looking at him like he was crazy.
"Stromgarde has long been over-run by rogue factions, I don't know what you could possibly hope to get from there" Doomwhisper said, William rather confused.
"Yea lad, place has been sacked for years now" Vasagroth chipped in as well, who was still bandaged up from his encounter with the raptor.
"Forgive me, my memories aren't exactly too good..." William said, remembering why he was on this trip on the first place. He felt rather saddened all of a sudden, this trip being one of the few that had managed to make him forget that until he found out his past, he was basically a no one in his own opinion.
They travel for a while until they could see the huge fortified city ahead, its stone walls still standing. As they got closer, they could see the huge keep doors torn apart to the side, nothing left to keep the city from being infiltrated. Right when they were about to pass, William thought he could see a glimer...
"Did anyone else see that?" William said, the others not really paying attention.
"See what?" Sandra and Valinaria both said though, looking around the keep.
"That, it was like a really bright shin-" William saw the glimmer again, and seeing something like a pocket watch being held in a human hand. He then saw a kid come out from behind the keep door and run inside the city, William standing up.
He jumped off the cart, landing with a thud but getting up and running towards the keep away from the others.
"What do you think your doing?" Doomwhisper shouted.
"To find something" William said, running down the path, the others panicing in what to do.
---------------------------------------------------------
The troll assassin lurked within Stromgarde now, sitting on top of a large pillar watching the cart traveling by. Then he saw them stop, the human paladin running from the cart and towards the inside of the keep.
"Perfect" the troll said, jumping down from his pillar. He took his blades out and crept fowards, staying hidden within the shadows and waiting for his victim to come, finally finishing his task so he could move on to his next assignment.
---------------------------------------------------------
Nal'Vanor was at the huge wall that seperated Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Foothills, his demons at his side. There had been several scouts that he had killed on his way, disregarding them being spotted since he easily overpowered all of the scouts.
"Foward my minions" Nal'Vanor said, the eredar lord running ahead.
---------------------------------------------------------
William ran inside the keep, looking for the kid with the pocketwatch. He glanced around and saw the kid again laughing, revealing a little girl about the age of maybe ten, who ran off to the left of the keep. William ran towards the left, hoping to get to her when he was suddenly tackled by a net. He hit the ground, dazed and confused at what just happened.
"I thought you would be a bit more of a challenge" a voice said, coming out of the shadows. It was a troll, a blade in one hands and a large hand gun in the other that had smoke coming out of it.
"Even so, time for you to die" the troll said, raising the blade to strike. Right before the troll stabbed, a death coil knocked the blade out of his hand, the troll cursing and turning towards the attackers.
"Not so fast troll" Doomwhisper said, her mace high. The others were behind her as well, even Valinaria who had been taken out of the shackles.
"You be messing with the wrong assassin" the troll said, throwing a fan of knives suddenly. William felt one go into his leg, yelling in pain as it pierced his muscle. Vasagroth also suffered a knife injury to his arm, rendering him unable to use his large blade.
Doomwhisper charged foward at the troll, sweeping her mace left to right at a diagonal angle, intending to take the troll out in one hit. Her attack was dodged rather easily though, the troll punching her across the face and dazing Doomwhisper. The troll then dodged another arrow that was shot at him from Valinaria, along with constantly moving out of holy fire that was being smited at him by Sandra.
The troll threw vials at the ground, poison clouds forming fast as he did so, forcing the others to stop their attacks.
Suddenly the troll disappeared in a flash of light and smoke, no one able to see where he had gone.
"You fought well, but I do not have time for you all" a voice said, reconizing it as the troll's.
"However, I believe you deserve to know my name since it will be the one to kill you. The name is Base, and you are not prepared" the voice said, no one able to find out where it came from.

Heh, thought throwing in a little quote might make it a bit more interesting that Base isn't your every day assassin.

"Don't look so smug! I know what your thinking, but an assassination attempt on me was merely a setback! Did you honestly think I would trust the future to some little girl I found wondering around a keep that led me to my near death? Hahaha... oh no no no, it was merely and instruement, a stepping stone to a much grander plan. And this time, you will not interfere!"
Good enough for your setback?

Nice work, it would seem I'm not the only one that's liberal with the use of cliffhangers.
