The Horseman was out looking for the one he was after, he was aleart like always fallowing the trail of the one he was sure was his target he knew what they looked like even with out seeing them, it was only time until he found them & dealt with them as they should be. He would see to it that this mission this task was like all others before him & that he cared it out to the letter. His swords & axe made sounds as they hit against his sides, like his clothing made sound as he rode threw the trail stopping at times to cheek for tracks. The only other main sound was that of the saddle & the horse as it moved at its masters will.

Thomas/Sean Herman Thomas continued riding his horse trying to outrun his pursuer. He'd been out on a routine ride on his horse with a few guards. But then a surprise attack and his guards were all killed one by one until he was alone. He kept going not sure who was targeting him but it must be because he was a prince. If he was captured the ransom could be pretty big and he knew his father would pay easily. With his mother dying a few years ago he knew he was all his father had left besides the kingdom. He kept riding though until he glanced back getting a glimpse of who he was chasing him. He paled recognizing him from wanted posters. No one knew his real name. He was an assassin for hire but occasionally did other jobs as well. He hoped the guy just wanted to ransom him and not kill him but he wasn't going to let him get that chance. |

Eric had taken out the gaurds that had been ridding with his target, most where dead a few might still be alive for how long he could not say or if they would live to the point of getting any news back to the king. As he rode he set a pace that was demanding, but nothing that his horse was not use to however seeing his target only set him in to a face pace to chace up with his target. His horse easly moved to quicken the pace, moving to gain distance on his target he was ready to grab his weapon if need be, yet the target would end up saying how this went. He felt his horse move as well heard his weapons gingle light as he incressed in speed, he felt the trill of the hunt set in even more as he saw Sean.

Thomas/Sean Herman Thomas frowned seeing the man was still on his trail. He had to hurry. He had a sword on him thankfully but he wasn't sure how much good he'd be against an expert assassin like the Horseman. He was sure he was nearing his kingdom now and saw an opening going through it only to releasing he was at a clearing and before him was a mountain. He'd been traveling the wrong direction. He was in his kingdom but he was on the other side of his kingdom. He had to get to his castle. But he heard the gallop of the Horseman's horse so he knew he had to hurry. Of course he had no idea this area was booby trapped by hunters and the Horseman had added a few traps of his own. As Thomas rode back to the forest the ground gave away. Thomas was flung from his horse who fell into a pit. His horse was alright but trapped. He paused realizing the Horseman wouldn't wait for him to rescue his horse. He'd have to come back later if his horse wasn't sold or killed by then. He turned rushing off on foot to the woods. "Just a few miles and I'll be at the castle. I can use these woods to take the short cut and not go on the road. It'll be harder for him to travel by horse." thought Thomas. He grinned darting forward only to fall into a snare as he was pulled up feet first into the trees as his sword clattered to the ground. Realizing he was stuck there was nothing he could do as he sighed as he saw his captor ride up and the first thing he heard was a chuckle. He felt like an animal about to be killed for dinner. "Please let me go. Whoever hired you I could double it or triple it." said Thomas. He knew it was a long shot but perhaps this guy had no loyalty to who hired him and just wanted money. At least he hoped so. |

The Horseman moved to fallow he might not know the lands as well as the prince, yet he did know on ways on spooking prey the prince was spooked & left him with more an opening to come out on top. He watched as the prince's horse went into the pit, however the prince did not fall in with his horse so that left him on foot, he only slowed a bit to insure he cleared the safe area around the pit so he did not end up in there as well. He than was quick to set off after the prince once more with now being on foot would be even more an easy target, it was only made more clear as the prince hit the snare & was lifted high into the air, Eric hand to work hard to to laugh out loud as he slowed appoching the helpless prince. Coming to a stop his horse was breathing head now, he dismounted before moving to head away form his horse knowing his horse would not run off he appoched the prince seeing his sword on the ground, him let a flocker of a smile cross his face this was getting even better of course with his words he watched him "I am sure you could, howeven what good would that do my reputaion to let you go & besides who says anyone needs to hire me to hunt those such as your self, that think your selfs better than others just becouse you where born noble.
Of course he was hired, however it did not mean that he at times did not just scare the hell out of royals for the hell of it. He waited for the princes words not really caring what he would say, yet intrested to hear it in another. He moved to pick up the princes sword keeping out of reach of the prince should he try anything, he would be sure to keep the sword to add of storys whispered about him he took things for those he hunted.

Thomas/Sean Herman Thomas frowned realizing he wasn't going to let him go. He was now at the man's mercy. He frowned seeing the man pick up his sword. He frowns as he listens to him as he begins to worry. "So are you my executioner or am I your hostage?" asked Thomas. Both worried him. He didn't want to die or end up as someone's slave. But he had no choice in the matter. He frowned as he got his answer. He was cut from the tree and his hands and feet were soon bound as he was lead to the horse. He glanced up at him and frowned. "So there's nothing I can say or give you to let me go?" asked Thomas. |

The Horseman heard Seans words "It could be both Prince" After that he cut Sean down before he was quick to tie him up, as he heard Seans words "I can think of nothing, but I will listen if you think you have something that could gain my interested" With that he moved to threw Sean on his horse whee he would not fall & he could keep an eye on him with that he moved into the saddle behind Sean he would hear Sean out perhaps the boy would find something that would interested him enough to make him let him go, but he did not think it would happen. He see off for where he needed to go, he knew Sean had lost his horse he would come back sending a message with it once he freed it to allow it to go back to its home.

Thomas/Sean Herman Thomas frowned at him knowing his life was now in his abductor's hands. The guy didn't confirm or deny that he was going to kill him just said maybe. The uncertainty was a bit unsettling as he was thrown onto the Horseman's horse in front of him as he began riding off as he struggled trying to get free of the bonds only to feel a hand on his shoulder as if to say don't even try. He sighed giving up for the moment. "There has to be something I can give you. Money? jewelry? A title? I could give you whatever you wanted. You could live like a king the rest of your life." said Sean. He sighed realizing it was pointless as they soon found themselves at a cabin. - Time Skip - Thomas wasn't sure how long he'd been stuck here but his hands, legs, and feet were beginning to ache as he was chained to the wall. The Horseman had left him here going back to get his horse. He paused as he heard footsteps as he realized the Horseman was coming back. Maybe now he'd get some answers. |

He heard Seans words, he did not need a title not any more for it did little for him now, besides he once had a title & not it was given up to take on title of assassin & the Horseman was born. Once he got them to his cabin he dragged Sean into it before chaining him up so he could get things done with out having to worry the boy would run away. Once he had Sean chained up he moved back out of the cabin getting onto his horse before riding back to Seans horse getting it out of the pit & sending it off with the message that was sucure on the beast for its home. After that he retuned to his home, untacked his horse & took care of it before he moved to cheek on Sean, opening the door he entered the room to cheek on Sean as he entered "What not screaming yet" He gave a look that was dark "That could always be fixed easly" He meaning it he knew ways to cause pain, he did not have to have magic to do it the only thing that came down to other things.

Thomas/Sean Herman Thomas glared at him as he walked in. "I don't know why you've taken me. You've don't want money but you live in this dump. I could make you a very rich man. Please reconsider." said Thomas. He froze as the man said that could be fixed easily as he didn't know what he meant. But that made him feel uneasy. He struggled again but the chains didnt' even budge and he gave up as it was starting to hurt his ankles and wrists. "Please. There has to be something I can give you to let me go." said Thomas. He was begging practically to his embarrassment but he knew if he didn't make his captor happy he was as good as dead. Or this man could choose to keep him as a prisoner. He had to get out of here. He just wasn't sure how. |

Eric watched Sean, he was enjoying seeing the man with fear & begging not that it would do him any good. "I cannot think of anything you can offer me to let you go, as for this please I am sorry it doees not meet up to your liking Prince, some of use do not get the chance to live in castles with servents to do as one wills" He watched Sean "I have sent word to your father, now we wait to see if he is man enough to take the challenge" He could not see the man having the courage to do it, he would more likly have another do his work for him & if that did not work he would cheat somthing he was use to, but if it happened he would be ready for. "I could let you go to eat, but there is no saying you would not make a run for it if I do so"

Thomas/Sean Herman Thomas paused as he said there was nothing he could offer. He glared at him as he said this doesn't meet up to his liking. "I'm a prisoner. It doesn't matter where I am. I'm not going to be happy." said Thomas He paused as he said he sent word to his father. "So you want something from my father then? Did he wrong you somehow in the past? I am not like my father. Please let me try to make amends to you. You are a subject of my kingdom and I will one day be king. What kind of king would I be if I let my people be unhappy." said Sean. He paused as he spoke again saying he could let him go to eat but he figured he'd make a run for it. The man was right but he knew he'd need to eat. So he looked at him. "Well I doubt you're going to let me go. But I need to eat. So just let my arms loose and I'll eat. I can't do much to you chained up and without a weapon anyway." said Thomas. Hopefully he could swipe the keys from him or he'd slip up somehow. He would need to be ready for any slip up. Although he had a feeling he might be stuck here awhile. He hoped his father would be on his way to get him out of this mess. |

Eric smiled "I could carless if you are happy or not" He watched Sean "It matters little on what my issue is with your father, that is if I have one" He watch Sean before he spoke again "I am not a subject of your kingdom" Besides he knew all to well a wanted man could not be part of a kingdom with out be hunted down like an animal. He did not miss Seans words when it came to eatting "Very will Prince, I will get you somthing to eat & we can see how things go" He did not trust Sean not to try somthing, to make a break for it if he got the chance, but he would be watchful for things that might be a sign that somthing was up when it came to Seans plans of action.
With that he moved to leave to get Sean some food, before he would return to the room to release his hands to eat, not that he would not be watchful of him. But he knew that right now he could not starve Sean, even if the idea was there in his mind. Once he got the food, that would ease the hunger Sean might have he moved to seat the plate out of Seans reach so he could not be taken off gaurd as he moved closer to Sean to release his hands so he could eat. Only once he was sure Sean would not try anything he moved to, place the plate with in Seans reach with silver wear so he could eat.

Thomas/Sean Herman Sean frowned listening to him. Eric didn't give him answers at all. He paused as he spoke saying he wasn't a subject of his kingdom. "So you're from another kingdom? I can give you a royal pardon for your crimes including this one. I could give you a clean slate so no one could come after you." said Sean. He smiled as he said he'd let him eat. His stomach began to grumble as he blushed embarassed. He left to get him food and put the plate down before freeing his hands. He then gave the food and moved away. Sean frowned realizing he needed food. He couldn't risk angering Eric this time so he took the food and began eating. |

Eric heard his words he chuckled "A clean slate, tempting but you prince still do not have that power at least not enogh that could over rule your fathers & well I do not see him pardoning me" In fact he knew it would not happen so he did not think to much on it for it could never be. He watched Sean at times as he eat to see he did not try anything, but he would not harm him for now he would keep him safe since it did not play into his hands right now.
