I screamed loudly and ran out if my house. There were tears streaming down my face. She killed my family so easily.

When I got to the manor I was hyperventilating and crying so hard I could barely see. The guards rushed to me and took me to the lord.

It was bronze.

"Do not hesitate to use it, she is a fearsome and cunning warrior," he warned.

"I know you are in here!" the lord yelled "We are here to take you to jail!"

A piece of paper fell from the roof. The lord and I looked up. Nothing. The lord picked up the piece of paper that had fell. It said:
