You had been following the tracks of several deer for the past two hours through the forest, you knew these deer couldn't be far off, when suddenly you hear the screaming of what sounded like a young woman, you notice movement to your right and see the deer run off in the opposite direction of the scream, "Bloody hell!" You exclaim to yourself. "Looks like it's squirrel for tea tonight...again" You turn to the direction you think the scream originated from and set off at a gentle running speed.

As you draw near to the source, you slow down as you hear voices getting closer, it's at that point you stop in yours tracks as you are presented with what you can only describe as the most beautiful young woman you've encountered in your 21 years of life. She's a gorgeous individual no taller than 5 foot 7, perfect stature and body, tall and slender, with beautiful platinum blonde hair in a French braid down her left shoulder and dressed in an elegant crystal blue dress that had been ripped and muddied by a walk through the forest, but what the dress is made of is something you've never seen before.

But when you stop admiring the beautiful girl you're disappointed that what you see in front of you is no surprise. The girls situation is one you've seen a lot the past few weeks, a lone traveller held up by bandits and a situation you've managed to resolve every time, this time you're a little confused to see she's surrounded by eleven bandits when normally this sort of job Is done by 2 or 3 bandits. Another thing that surprise you is the perfect blonde is stood there the ground covered by frost and the bandits don't seem to be even phased by the bizarre conditions even though it's summer.

As you creep closer into you hear a man you know to be the leader of these bandits "C'mon Lady we can do this the easy way or the hard way." You can see she is desperately frightened and hear it too in her trembling response "Ple-please we can sor-rt this out." This just makes the bandits laugh "hahaha Lady why would we do that if we can get more if you come with us?" Realization hits the girl knowing the outcome in her favour was looking bleak, so she foolishly turns and runs, with the bandits in hot pursuit.

You follow the little game of cat and mouse for a good 20 minutes jumping from tree to tree and stopping to dispatch any of the straggling bandits with your crossbow, you proceed to do this 5 times until the group reaches a cliff base blonde looks around and upon seeing a dead end realises her situation hasn't improved, if anything got worse.

You watch from the tree line as the bandit leader and his 5 remaining lackeys get closer to the poor blonde, who is close to tears now as the situation kicks in that she's not getting out of this. "You have spirit and persistence in you I like that, but I'll love breaking it more!" the bandit leader chuckles. It's at that point two of the bandits who had been edging closer to the girl jump her, and before you can leave the trees you stop in awe as you suddenly realise what had caused the ground to be covered in frost earlier, her, she had caused ice then and again this time by freezing the bandits feet to the ground causing them to fall, but whilst you stifle a laugh another one sneaks up on her, but luckily this time you're a bit more perceptive and manage to take aim and let fly a bolt before he gets too close. Thus leaving the girl and 5 bandits standing there baffled and confused on where that came from.

You edge out of the tree towards the misfits, to have the bandit leader face you, with his scar down the left side of his face and jet-black mane messed up from the chase, from the seething look he is giving you, you guess he has only just realised half his group is missing and has come to the conclusion that you must be responsible.

"Boy, I would advise you to leave and we can forget about what you have down to my men" he warns. Smirking you pull your hood further over your (h/c) hair to take away the attention from your other hand which you use to draw throwing knives from their place on your belt. "Now why would I do that?" You ask in a confused manner. Obviously annoyed by your smugness he discreetly commands his remaining, unfrozen feet, men to attack you, fortunately for you and unfortunately for him you had been tracking this man for the past several weeks and come accustomed to his signals and knew what he was up to.

This man was not like your usual targets, he was a man who had tried to do wrong by you, by attempting to take someone who was close to you, so you personally decided to dispatch of him, you had followed him learning everything about him, how he liked kidnapping lone woman wherever they may be town or forest and although you had managed to stop his men several times when he wasn't present, he always managed to give you the slip until now.

Two of the three men charge, you sidestep a swipe from the left and twist the assailants arm back making him drop his sword, you spin him around and he takes the force of a hammer attack. You dispatch the swordsman by slipping a throwing knife across his throat cutting the windpipe. As the third man finishes loading a bolt into his crossbow you charge and tackle the hammer wielding bandit into the crossbowmen. During the skirmish the two frozen men had got free and were coming your way to join the scuffle. You dispatch one with a knife but miss your mark and hit the shoulder guard of the other man. Surrounded by three moderately armed and armoured men you decide to take the easy way out, you pull a smoke grenade from your belt pouch and draw your scimitar. You throw the smoke to the ground and slit the throat of one of your assailants, you then spin on your foot using the momentum of the spin to bring greater force to your blow which cuts deeply into one of the other men's head as he is doubled over coughing. You see the last bandit trying to run from the smoke and go the pursue him but see he has keeled over from the fumes.

You turn to face the man who had unwillingly and unknowingly been your target these past weeks, but notice he was coming up behind the blonde who was just stood there dumbfounded and gape mouthed at what she had just witness you do. You go to shout the girl but realise you don't know what to call to her, but by then it was too late and he had pounced on her and had a claw-like dagger to her throat. All sense of intimidation and cockiness had left his body and been replaced by fear and uncertainty you notice as he speaks "Boy, you have proven yourself now, no need to be rash and risk the life of the Queen." "Queen" you think, " the nearest kingdom to here is Arendelle, and their monarch was a shut in." You ignore his plead and statement, "Now I don't believe you're the one to be making praise and commands right now do you? I've singlehandedly dispatched your men with ease, and I wish I could say leave now and you can live but you tried to take someone from me, so sorry that isn't about to happen pal.' You retort some parts seriously but most sarcastically. You go to charge him but before you get close you feel something hit your back and collapse to the ground, you look down to see a crossbow bolt protruding from your gut and turn to see one of the 'killed' stragglers standing there with his crossbow loading a second bolt.

You feel yourself slipping in and out of consciousness and the clearing get degrees colder, you turn back to the girl and see she had curled up to a ball on the ground. The last thing you remember before blacking out for good was the screaming of two men, the cold touch on your wound and the sound of a sleigh...
