A Time to remember (Private-Aradin)

[Malak]

As dusk set on the city of Abestat, the nightly activities began to stir up. Everyone from rich to poor came out to find something to do to occupy their night, whether it was to meet friends, party or find a lady of the night. It was also a night that Aradin Lastra decided to take a brisk evening walk. After stopping at his home he headed out into the evening light.

The day had been a pretty busy one, but not a day Aradin was not use to. After heading down one of the main streets, he decided to take a shortcut through a small, dim alleyway. It lead to another one of Abestat's main roads but again he followed another alley. After walking a few yards, Aradin noticed what looked like three or four men near the end. He slowly continued being cautious of what would happen.

After getting closer he noticed two of the men holding a sword in their hands. The third was armed but was obviously being forced to walk with them and not able to draw his weapon. There footsteps could be heard echoing through the alley, Aradin was careful to making too much noise. Then after walking a few more feet, his foot kicked a small piece of brick, its tumbling noise echoing down the alley. One of the men turned around and spotted Aradin, the man stepped a few more feet and said. "Who goes there?? Address yourself!!"
