Challenge #04724-L340: One Weakened Link
Whilst in the woods, (alone or with someone(s) at the author’s discretion) Wraithvine comes upon a dying man, a double-crossed messenger with an arrow through his chest. He begs Hir to deliver his letter. But, a dying man is not necessarily a righteous one, not all treasons are unjustified. Wraithvine must decide if fulfilling the promise is correct, and ze does not have much time… -- Deathshead419
On a road less traveled, more of a deer trail, there's only a few kinds of people one may meet. Those trying to avoid notice, those hunting for those trying to avoid notice, and folks like Wraithvine.
This time, the Eternal Wizard found a soldier with an arrow through his back. His hunter had found him, and having shot, left him for dead.
Judging by the tracks, the soldier had fallen, then picked himself up. Staggered on until the strength left his legs. Then continued to crawl onwards until Wraithvine found him. He should have died five yards ago. In fact, Mistress Dark was waiting for his soul to lose hold of his body.
