Thorns and Claws
(hope this isn't fail i can edit it if it is xD)

There were a few of the Eastern scouts about the area, though he hardly seemed to care. They'd never see him. Hell to most this land wasn't worth trying to conquer.. it was harsh and almost impossibly to grow anything but the hardiest of plants. Sure he had a clear shot on the two he currently saw but he wasn't going to take it, he was bored or his expression showed he was. In truth he wasn't really paying attention. The sun above was making it hard to focus at the moment, he shook his head a little regaining himself as he glanced down from the cliff slide he was spying from. He finally took notice of the scouts being out of his dazed state now. Though he smirked a bit as he drew his bow and loaded a arrow to it as he aimed towards one of the scouts. To fie or not.. choices he seemed to think about it a moment before switching his target to the other scout and released the arrow. It flew through the air straight and true as it sunk deep into the man's neck before he fell off of his horse and onto the ground suddenly. This startled the other scout as he panicked and seemed to look around for the direction of this shot before turning back and heading towards the direction of his camp, or that's what Thalion would have guessed.

"tsk.. " he shrugged off bothering to fire at the other one as he moved and slid himself off of the rock he had been laying on for his shot. Slinging his bow over his shoulder he started walking away from the spot he had recently used. He hardly seemed to have a care in the world, but picking off these scouts were keeping the main force of the rebellion army safe from the eyes of the East. That was his current mission or task so to speak. Where he refused to advance in ranks he was still barked orders at, sure it annoyed him but he'd deal with it. It was better then having no job at all least there was a meal involved and a safe enough place to sleep at night. That's more then some could say, they had a few scouts caught in the recent weeks and they were never heard from, or if they were found it was a dismembered bloody mess in a ditch somewhere.

He didn't walk in the open when he could help it, keeping to the shadows trying to avoid being in sight for too long, he had heard there was a few of the Eastern army with powers but no one lived to talk about it. He sure as hell wasn't going to test his so called Devil's luck.. knowing it, that'd be the time it decided to hold out on him.

He stopped for a moment glancing back to the spot he was just at. Maybe he should go fetch that arrow. It was said there were ways to track a arrow to it's maker, he wasn't sure he believed it but maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to be safe rather then sorry. Ugh that's a long way to walk to get down there though. He sighed before going towards the edge of the cliff close to where he was laying and started to watch his footing so he could climb down and get to the bottom with as few scrapes as possible.

"Hey Thaaaaal!" a sudden voice rang out and echoed a little almost causing Thalion to lose his footing as he glared at the voices owner. "What the hell's your problem?!" he hissed at him as he went back to his climbing process. He muttered under his breath and complained keeping it all to himself.

The owner of the voice was a young girl from the looks of it she smiled at him before climbing to sit on top of the rock he was perched on before. "No problem.. but what are you doing?" She questioned him still being a little loud.

He sighed shaking his head saying this kid was going to get him killed. "we'll call it fetching, now go back to the camp before you get me killed eh? This isn't a place for kids.. geese" Though the girl didn't move from her spot, she was use to him scolding her for almost everything and she knew it was dangerous but when she was a little older she would be allowed to fight as well, she wanted to learn how to do so before then.
