The Piper was well known threw the land, though he had learned well over the years there was those not only more known, but not ones to be crossed if one could help it. He held his own power something that he gained form his family, that had much like him self carried the tale & legend of the Piped Piper, though many where born to the tell not all took it on at such a passion as he did.
He found pleasure in his skill of beast & man, that few others could dare to match & it also gave him a thrill to find those that where truly honest, for they such people where few & in his line of work he learned that all to well.
Moving threw the forest he headed out to a village he heard needed help the question now was not only what it would be, but if others would not show up as well to the village making deals.
After some time he reached the village, that had needed help he would see what they needed help with & if he could help or not.

Rumple had heard the rumors the whispers, that a village he had issues with were going to try to get rid of him, the idea made him laugh yet to be safe he would insure just what they had planned it would make it more fun, to see them with fear in them when he stopped it before it really started, there plan that is.
He was dressed in peasant clothing, & wore his hood to keep from being seen & noted in the village so far it worked & form the looks of it he had show up at the right time, the whispers in the village was that, who ever had been hired to remove him was here, so he waited to see who it was & if such a person could pose a threat, not that they could it was just he did not like to be surprised.

As he entered the village the Piper watched to that around him, he was new here & other then being asked to help a village he knew well that it could be a danger it was not wise to allow his guard down not when there was a chance of danger & here he knew it was wise to watch out for. His clothing was not of the present statues, nor were they to the point of a royal, but it was clear that he had some standing or at least money.
He dressed as he did for it was a job & his clothing played a part just as much as any thing, so far he saw no sigh of what beast could be the issue with the town, so that left him questioning why he was here at all. Time would tell & so he would have to wait to find out once he spoke with the leader or mayor of the town. As he drew closer to Belle, he watch her perhaps a bit longer then he should have, before he looked else were but if felt that she was watching him & he was not sure how to feel about that.
It did not take him long to find the mayor, it appeared that as soon as he entered the town news of him there spread & the mayor was there to greet him perhaps, a little to eager. And an eager man such as this man was not only more likely to pay what ever price, but it was not likely to be any easy task ether.
The mayors voice greeted him as he drew close "You are the Piper, that we sent for?" What more could be answered then "Yes, what is the issue you have, that you sent for me to remove?" As the Piper he wanted to know what as soon as he could, that he was to deal with to know how best to take on the challenge. "Tell me this first, it is said that you can control any beast under the sun" The Piper had heard this before "I can though unless it threatens a town, then I do not deal with it"

Rumple saw the man know, he knew of him form the clothing he was waring so they had sent for the Piper, of course when the Piper was speaking with the Mayor it drew a crowed he joined as well, though stayed in the back yet, where he still would hear.
The man could pose a threat, if what he said he could do was true, yet if that was the case he would remove him before he got the chance to do anything. It was not that he enjoyed killing, he just valued his live over the man before him, speaking.

The mayor smiled more as he spoke "Do not fear the beast I speak of, is indeed a threat to use & many others around as well" Know this got the Piper attaching for sure for what beast could cause so much trouble to a town if not more. "And what is this beast?" The mayor spoke with out missing a beat "The one up in the castle perhaps, you have heard of him Rumpelstiltskin, if you are as gifted as you say then you will have no trouble & be done with him"

Rumple listened to the two speak, so it was official that the boy or at least he did not look to be that old had indeed been sent for him to remove him, well if that was the case he would remove the boy form such fullish ideas one way or another & give the village a true reason to fear him.

The Piper was silent he must of heard the man wrong, as skilled as he was he was not a fool, he heard the tells of that man & he also heard he way he did his deals as well. "Rumpelstiltskin?" They indeed did not come much bigger then that, but it was not something he would take any pleasure in or thrill. "And how is it that Rumpelstiltskin is a threat, form what I hear of him unless you make a deal with him he leaves you be or could it be that you have made a deal & do not wish to pay?"

The mayor was silent a moment before he spoke "And if there was a deal, what then Piper?" The Piper looked at the mayor "Then it should not be my issue to fix, you made a deal & no matter what, a deal is a deal" The mayor was angered with his words & it was clear as he spoke "Then if you will not help you are not welcome here, ever & we will find another to do the job"

Rumple had watched form where he was, well perhaps the boy was not a completed fool, though he could feel the tension in the air not a good sign & the villagers that were around had made mostly to sounds disappointment & a sound that could turn the people agents the man into mob of sorts since they could not take it out on the one they wanted to, it might become another that would be there target. Rumple had moved to leave, keeping his hood low now would be an unwise move to be seen, he had not decides it he would watch the boy any more or not, yet he just knew that it was best to keep some space between people right now.

The Piper signed he knew the moment he said no that, he would find danger & now he would not be finding a place to stay for the night he could of lied, but it was not in him he was quick to leave. He knew it would only be time before the town heard & tuned on him, he did not want to be around when that happened. Darkness was slowly setting & the Piper left knowing he would get out of town before he was beat or worse. He started to head out of town, only to find at the end of the town he could make out people standing there he, instantly stopped before he moved to head away from them he was not here for conflicted, he was not sure how the town knew so fast, but he was sure that some one spoke & now he had to get out before true trouble started, he saw as he drew close to another way out of the town that it appeared no villagers where there at least not yet & with that though he headed for it, he did not really looked to see the path he took. For he was more fearful of having the town on him then what the path might be or what might be out there to great him.
(The path he took was heading for the Dark Castle)

Rumple had keep away form people, though he keep a eye open for the Piper he was surprised when he saw him heading for the path that lead to his castle, it made him question what the man was up to. He fallowed though he keep a distance away ready to make his move to have a face of with the Piper that appeared to be heading for his home.
It was going to be dark soon, so the odds were the Piper would stop for the night though, there was no promise with this & if he did would it better to say something now to the boy or wait until morning when he knew for sure he was headed the wrong way.

The Piper was careful as he left the village, still knowing the odds where the people would still want a piece of him, with time & skill he got out far enough he did not think they would come looking for him.
He choose a spot that he would not be bothered or so he hopped, for he needed sleep there was no choice in the matter so he made him self as comfortable as he could before falling to sleep. His mind alive with everything that had happened, he knew in the morning he would head for the next town perhaps there he could find work.
Morning came it was the first light of day & he rose to meet the new day, he started to walk hoping to make time. He felt good for he was not bothered in the night, a sign he hoped the villagers where giving up with him, how ever things do not always go as planed, for he soon learned he did not get away from all the villagers. It appeared some of them where coming back form there look for him, the only reason is he found him self face to face with them.
How odd it all came because he though he heard something & had stopped walking, only to quickly find him self surrounded with a number of the men of the village & just as quickly he was grabbed, he did fight though it did not last in his favor long with there numbers against him.
He soon found himself being half dragged & half carried back to the village once there, the Piper made out the mayor once more. He looked none to pleased to see the Piper & yet there was something in his eyes he could not place, it was as if he was thinking. The torches light that was around, gave an even more restlessness to the village & the Piper could feel something unsettling in the village yet he was being confounded form moving by the villagers. Finally the mayor spoke "We meet again Piper" He smiled in a way that was, a sign he had something up his sleeve "Because of your rumored skill, I will make you a deal Piper, removed Rumpelstiltskin form are lands & you go free" The Piper was quick to speak "I already gave you my answer" The mayor smiled again "Let me put it to you this way, you do this & you go free, other wise I will not be responsible for you. If you do not then, we treat you as one scene against the town, perhaps even in the same class as Rumpelstiltskin him self"
The mayor looked at the Piper as he spoke again "So what will it be Piper, are you going to help use or do we have to treat you as one against use?" The Piper took a moment to think, but he already knew his answer, his honor would not make him fold "My answer is still the same" With it the mayor looked up set "I am sorry to hear that, take him away out side the village & do what you must. If it helps leave him close to the beast den & let him finish him off" With that the villagers took the Piper away, to do what they must & help ease there anger & the want for blood.

Rumple saw that the Piper was stopping for the night as fun as it would be to scare the boy, he would wait until morning of course he might not see all around the fairytale kingdom he did know what went on upon his lands, spells did sure to keep him informed so he did not have to worry on when the boy moved in the morning he would know. He returned to his castle, for the night though in the morning he rose & got ready for what would happen first thing, of course when he found the boy he had just be jumped in a simple word by those form the village. This drew his interested so in place of letting it known he was there he fallowed them, keeping out of sight he was surprised to find that once more the Mayor of the village was trying to get him to go against what he said before, yet the boy did not back down on his word. There was a sound of dislike in the crowed & with the mayors words he had a good idea where they would go, of course he had guest wrong on where they would start the idea to fallow was there, but it was not as simple with so many around. He found them, they had not yet harmed the boy yet it was clear they where going to & then likely blame him for the boys death, even if it did not come by his hand.
Though before they could make a move on the boy, Rumple saw to it that they found a reason to leave that being a roar of a dragon that was close. The villagers might like the idea to fight a boy, yet the idea of a dragon was not such an idea. They where quick to flee the area, leaving the boy to watch them, only when they where gone did Rumple approach the boy "Well, what do we have here?" He giggled as he smiled "Did you not want to join, your friends?" He made a gesture with his hand, to those that had fled the direction "Well I am waiting boy, you best answer quick before I lose my temper with you"

The Piper was no fool he knew who, was speaking to him, but what could he say to such a man nothing really, he was just as likely to be turned into something or killed, as he was to see another day. "There are not my friends, though I will leave" It mattered little he did not want a fight, with the Dark One he was sure to be dead for trying it. He started to leave, though there was nothing saying he would get away with out something happening.

Rumple heard the Pipers words he laughed lightly as he spoke "Wait a moment,... tell me what brought you here?" He asked more because he knew the answer, but it would be nice to see if the man was honest or if he would answer what he wanted to safe him self.
