Goodnight

Job at Hand:

There was a cold scent of death which carried over the sleeping town of Hargeon. Remus had heard over the grapevine of a mysterious murderer responsible for the killings of many of the towns former inhabitants, through further investigating the boy had found out that the mystery murderer was in fact Hargeon's own: Jacob Goodnight. Now this didn't come as a surprise to the young wizard as he personally thought that the killer had to be someone within the town and someone they would least suspect. But what had really puzzled him was his motive, why did he begin these treacherous deeds? Who was this for? Hundreds of questions filled the sorcerer's mind as he walked down the cobbled path running a hand across the stoned wall, looking upwards to the sky counting the stars which dotted the night. The only reason Remus took up this particular job was to show his beloved Hargeon how much of an asset he was, it was also to show himself what he was capable of.

As the night slowly began to come to a close the boy searched the docks one last time just to make sure that everything was in check before he departed. Nothing but the sound of the waves gently hitting the sides of the docking area moved through the night, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary except maybe the odd sailor sleeping in their vessel or still moving crates and whatnot. Nothing at all. So with that Remus left climbing up a wall and hopping onto the rooftop returning back to his base of operations.

Zzzzz...Aquila had dozed off on top the roof of the bakery and had the luxury of waking up to the sweet scent of freshly baked bread, wiping the crust from his sore eyes the boy yawned and took a stretch of the good ol' limbs before sitting up and looking towards the center of the town. The boy sighed before rubbing his temple. The search for Goodnight continued. Putting his gloves back on Remus slid down the tiles and onto the pavement below. The boy walked towards the bakery entrance with a smile on his face. Breakfast time. As the doors opened Ina waved as she pulled out a dozen small loaves of honey bread the fantastic scents still wavering in the air making any mortal's stomach grumble, the woman placed two loaves down into a small straw box and wrapping it tightly in red and white cloth. Then she piled more and more food onto a bigger plate.

Remus wiped the remaining crumbs off of the corner of his mouth and licked his lips, the sweetness still rolling about in his mouth. The boy however felt like he forgot about something. Something dire. Something incredibly important. But what?
Continuing on his journey Aquila stopped dead in his tracks, eyes wide with shock. In front of the boy around 10 to 12 meters or so a large behemoth of a man was dragging a woman by her hair as she screamed for help the man cupped a hand over her mouth to silence her, he kept on pulling her but she was a struggler. Remus sped over to the scene as he picked up speed the mage jumped in the air and delivered a double kick to the giant's ribcage. Seemingly the pain forced the man to drop the woman, the cries escaped her mouth as she ran off still calling for help. "Ahh..." A low grumble came from Remus' enemy, turning around he brandished a cleaver. This was just perfect.

Considering the fact that Remus was a whole four inches taller than the brute you'd think that the force of his double kick would topple the man, but you couldn't be more wrong. Due to Goodnight's size the blow did nothing short of angering him which focused his attention onto Remus. "Jacob, you're needed for some questi-" The boy was cut short as Goodnight delivered a strong kick to his chest. However, sensing that this was coming Remus put his arms up in a 'X' formation to lessen the blow but that didn't stop him from flying into a lampost. Shaking his head slightly the boy slowly got to standing position and into his stance, but within mere seconds the giant was gone, out of sight out of mind.
