The Silent Night
A few hours after the night had taken the town of Vrnirt, the moon shone at its brightest. All inhabitants of the city were sleeping, but one figure could be seen moving in the shadows. This figure seemed as though it knew every corner of the town, every house, every cat in the streets. Every time it would come to a corner, its footsteps would stop. It appeared as though it was waiting for any noise from either the guards on their rounds or a night walker. The streets were made of stone, and the water between the rocks, from the last rain, shone as the moon passed over them.
The stranger was extremely agile, one could not possibly have heard him, unless one had the ears of a bat. His head was clothed in a black hood that provided shadowing most of his face, only leaving his chin visible, but his ears made an impression on the hood revealing an elf. The elf's tight black shirt rippled in the wind softly, toned muscles barely visible beneath the fabric
His pants were also black and they enveloped the legs closely, but more loose then the shirt. His boots were made of soft leather, the boots were not loosened at all, they were in fact quite firmly wrapped around his feet. Two hunting knives hung from his bottom belt, both were obviously of high quality and were imprinted of a royal coat of arms. There was a piece of cloth coming down from the left shoulder, hiding the knives, and coming back to the right hip. The cloth was big enough to hide the quiver that hung from the stranger(')s back. The quiver was full of arrows, and a bow.
As the elven figure kept on walking stealthily, the guards who were doing their usual rounds were about to cross his path. Hearing heavy footstep, the spy quickly hid behind a house, hoping he would pass unnoticed. Slowly, the patrol walked by the building making loud noise with their heavy iron chainmail, but none of them seemed to notice the intruder.
