Cyrus: "Come. Hurry up, we have to get in there before anybody wakes up!"
Cyrus was hissing these words in a hushed whisper at the two soldiers he was taking with him. The plan was to get inside the village and to the owner of the village. The Mayor. The plan was simple, get into the village, confront the mayor and then get out. Corrack was to act as a distraction if anything was to go wrong...the plan was simple.
Cyrus slowly padded towards the entrance of the village. Stood on either side of the entrace they was 2 guards. Each with quite lengthy spears.
Guard #1: "Halt...who iz you? What you want with this place at this time of night?"
He addressed Cyrus who was in front and ignored the two troops behind him.
Cyrus: "M-My wife...she-we were attacked by a pack of Paramites...she's trapped!! Please...Help her!"
Cyrus put compassion into this dispicable lie and even made it look as if he was crying. The first first Guard looked at the 2nd and then approached Cyrus.
Guard #1: "Show me where...quick!"
Cyrus smiled and told the other two to take him to his 'Wife' while he stayed with the other guard and recovered. The guard looked at him suspiciously as he sat down next to him and finally said.
Guard #2: "You have the smell of anxiety and lies on you...you reek of it like a..."
He stopped in mid sentence when he saw Cyrus bring out a Silver Magnum equiped with a Silencer.
Cyrus: "Thats the pot calling the kettle black, primitive"
Cyrus growled these words and then dispatched the village native with a pull of the trigger. He put his gun back in its holster and waited for his two comrades to join him. He saw them walking slowly out of the woods with smiles on their faces.
Cyrus: "Where is it?!"
He whispered this as loud as he could so they could here him.
1st Soldier: "Dead...he's floating in the lake"
Cyrus nodded in approval and then disapeared into the shadows of the village, leaving them to stand guard.
While he was walking through the village he noticed many different shops and houses. Some houses still had lights coming from them so he tried to be as quiet as possible walking by them. He finally came to a stop when he saw the town center. He purred softly as he noticed a light on in one of the windows. He approached it quietly and listened to a Mudokon talking to another Mudokon.
Mudokon #1: "But Mayor...too many outsiders are coming to the village. Soon it will be overun with them and we will be out of fo..."
Mayor: "Hush Monty. I know, but i cant chuck them out for no reason. I have to be fair and anyway so long as enough herds graze on the plains we will never run out of food"
The Mayor smiled at Monty and patted him on the shoulder for his worrying. He then walked over to the door and opened it.
Mayor: "Let me do the worrying Monty...not you"
Monty walked out with his head down and the Mayor followed him out. Talking to him softly and telling him all will be well.
While they were both outside Cyrus climbed through the window and sat down on his desk, legs crossed. He then blew out all candle light that lit the tiny office. The Mayor walked back into the office and grunted.
Mayor: "What the...? These were on when i left. Whats going on?"
As he pondered these questions a voice spoke to him from his desk.
Cyrus: "Mayor...dont worry. I wont hurt you...unless you dont agree with me and my splendid deal!"
He stood up as he said this and walked towards the Mayor...who was confused and disorientated due to the darkness. He put a hand on the Mayors shoulder and escorted him to his desk. Lighting one candle up with his cigarette lighter.
Mayor: "W-Who are yo..."
Cyrus: "Its not who i am...its what i am and what i will do to you if you dont agree on this little deal of mine"
Cyrus smiled these words and winked at the Mayor, gesturing for him to sit down. While he sat himself up on a drawer.
Cyrus: "Now...you see. I have noticed a few things around here that i have taken a liking to. One of those things is that creature...the Slig creature. You know, the one who saved those....children"
He bit his tongue as he was about to say something else. But changed it to sound more pleasant and calming.
Mayor: "What do you want with Spider? He is a peaceful creature and by the smell of you, you are evil. Leave him alone...!"
The Mayor stood up out of his seat and banged his paw furiously on the desk.
Cyrus: "Oooooh my Mayor. A little temper on you i see. And also a keen sense of smell. Tell me...do all Native Mudokons have that smell...when they are dead?"
Cyrus pulled out his gun and pointed it at the Mayors head...he smiled as he did this and his eyes gleamed with joy.
Mayor: "You wouldn't dare...what would you get from killing me? Nothing, Spider would never join you or your cause if he found me dead!"
Cyrus pulled the gun away and holstered it. He turned away and walked towards the door, turning his head so the Mayor could see half of his face and then said:
"Yes...and wheres the fun in that. I have plans for you Mayor. I dont want to put you out of your misery yet."
Cyrus turned his head back to the door way and opened it. He then disapeared into the shadows of the village and out into the night.
