《The Misadventures Of A Wandering Nightingale》


 Plunged Into Darkness

    Linvara Lionheart was four years old on the night of the incident, it was her fourth birthday in fact. She was sitting in the kitchen waiting for dinner, as she always did, when suddenly her older sister lunged at her from behind with a knife. Linvara Lionhart was not yet as strong or fast as her older sister, but she was resourceful. She rolled out of the way of the knife and clambered for another. Her sister was upon her again and once again she rolled out of the way of her sister''s knife and used her own knife to slash at her sister''s weapon hand. Her sister dropped her knife, and Linvara took that opportunity to stab her older sister in the throat, ending her life. Suddenly, a system message appeared.


    Congratulations, you have killed Leona Lionheart! You have leveled up from Level 0 to Level 1. Ten Free Stat Points have been added. Ten Free Skill Points have been added. For making your first knife kill, the skill Basic Knifeplay level 1 is added. Check Status?


    No, Linvara thought to herself, first I have to see my parent''s reaction to this mess. I can check my status later. At just that moment Linvara''s parents, Liam and Lane Lionheart returned home.


    "Linvara!" Lane screamed, "You killed your sister!"


    Linvara responded, "Leona tried to kill me, I was defending myself!"


    Liam screamed back "We told her to kill you, you useless brat! You''re too afraid to go on hunts and you''re no good at anything else! This was a way to reduce the number of mouths we have to feed without shaming the Lionheart name!" Then Liam and Lane drew their swords and charged Linvara together. Fortunately for Linvara, she was a clever young girl, as said before, and noticed the flaws in her parent''s swordplay. By moving in such a way that her parents were constantly disrupting each other''s attacks, she created opportunities to stab them without being harmed herself. It took an entire hour, and Linvara was bone tired, but she managed to kill both of her parents.
