Just a Moment

"If I can have a moment of your time." The annoying man was following me, he'd been following me since breakfast and I'd brushed him off the entire time. He was my third annoying person who only needed a moment of my time and I was rather getting tired of all the moments I was just giving away.

"Far too busy sir, come back never ok thanks." As I said in yesterdays entry everyone wanted me for everything and frankly I was very tired of the whole thing.

"If you would just stop for a moment sir this would be over!" He was basically chasing me at this point, which is kind of funny now that I think about it, being chased by some balding little man hollaring after me. I ducked down an alley and then regretted it immediately when I realized there was no way out, my left hand instinctively went for my sword that wasn't by my side because I didn't wear it anymore (the problem of being legit, you can't just threaten people with a sword).  I tensed up ready to burn down the little bald man, when he produced a letter, handed it to me and left.

So there I was having run from a messenger that entire time and feeling pretty stupid about the whole affair. And then I remembered the curse assassins and really had to think about opening that letter carefully. Which ultimately didn't matter with them, the letter itself was more of a calling card, if I was cursed I was screwed anyway. So I opened the letter up and read from it and then crumpled it in a fit of rage, I was about to burn it when I decided to hold on to it for posterity.  Here is the missive in its entirety unedited.

---Trezlan glad to hear you have given up that whole revenge thing and moved on to more important matters like bettering yourself.  And in case you haven't given up on revenge know that if I see you at all I'll kill you without a second thought.

Your Friend

Councilman Morley

I learned two things about this.  1. Morley's handwriting was way better than mine And 2. Morley obviously had an inside man in the Ronerawth government.  So I knew I had a new task in front of me, finding this person and ending his life, hopefully by necromancy so I could learn all about what he knew about Morley.  Its always nice to have goals, even if those goals involve horrific murder.
