Lunar Guard Chronicles

Raven Crowe found herself in a cave overlooking a small farm, she had been there for about a week and observed one old man his three sons. Raven never saw the wife, grasping her sword and dagger, and her hunger being ravenous at the present made her approach. The sons recognized her from a description from some Saddle Arabian soldiers. Raven Crowe looked slightly saddened, "I suggest you just give me two weeks of food and I'll be gone. However, if you attack you know already that anything living on this land will be brutally slaughtered."

"Bitch!" The eldest son attacked with his ax and Raven parried with her sword and then in one swift motion slit his throat. and as he fell Raven used her sword to cut the young man open and in intestines spilled into the dirt.

"Final chance to give me a week's supply of food and a water skin and I'll be gone." The old man offered her some food and in about five minutes Raven Crowe felt horribly sick and crumpled to the ground. The old man dangled a bag in front of her face and laughed.

" Stupid whore, you think I'd let you live after you took my son?"

"You're the stupid one for waving the antidote in my face!" With what strength she had Raven stood and plunged her dagger into the old man and in her rage tore his head off. The other two sons attacked and Raven severed them in half and crumpled to where she had seen the antidote fall. It was about an hour when she felt well enough to walk. Raven Crowe entered the house to see an old woman with a crippled kid. "I told your sons and husband that if they attacked I'd slaughter every breathing thing on this damned farm. I'll start with you and as you bleed out you get to watch your crippled daughter die. I'll be merciful and do it quickly." Raven slit the old woman's throat and she was dead in about two minutes because besides the throat Raven slit the old woman's wrists. The crippled daughter cowered in petrified fear. The child reached for a bag and then slid it over.

Raven's keen hearing heard the sound of gold coins. "Please miss, let me live." Raven looked at the girl and after a long look, Raven felt an odd emotion which she couldn't shake. The child had silver hair like hers, Raven if it weren't for her training and strengthening and conditioning she would have a more visible limp but her strength hid it well. In a fit of new emotions and old memories Raven quickly stood and with the pommel of her sword knocked the kid unconscious.

"Damn it!" Raven screamed as she knelt in the silent house. The memories of her mentor came into view and memories of her father as well. "I wish I could just fucking die!" Raven screamed again as she stood collected what she needed and left. Most people if they had witnessed what had occurred would've seen that their prey, their bounty was unraveling. Raven Crowe had only one real enemy, this foe was much younger and eight inches shorter. "I swear, I really hope they send little adorable Keket after me soon...she might be the only one who could take me down." Raven thought about her subordinate and realized that Keket had been right; Raven knew that in her head that she was mentally and emotionally fucked up.

Along the dirt road, Raven wondered why she let the cripple girl live. This would be a first for someone to survive her wrath. Looking back toward the farm, Raven knew that if she kept letting people live who reminded her of her early life then someone might learn what happened and how she was trained and conditioned.

"Wait! You're telling me that crazed warrior we've been hunting just let an eyewitness live?"

The Saddle Arabian king looked shocked, "I order everyone who is hunting Raven Crowe to take notes on her survivors, because we may learn what makes her tick. I do believe there is a threstrial here with similar traits as Raven Crowe, her name is Keket find her and bring her here." Luna and Celestia looked concerned Cadence had a bad gut instinct about what might occur and Twilight mentally calculated the odds of Keket being sent after Raven Crowe. Their height difference was one factor but Raven's skill, experience, and brutality might end Keket's mental state.

Raven Crowe

Raven Crowe found a small cave where she could stay the night and as she slept fitfully she dreamed that she was back home and her father was beating her with a branch from an oak and her mentor had her head submerged under icy water almost drowning her. Raven snapped awake and huddled against the cave wall. "Father I swear one day I'll kill you!" Raven screamed as she slammed a piece of wood into the cave wall. Raven drew her dagger as she went through her mental list of hundreds of names and with each name she cut herself until she passed out from blood loss. Little did Raven know that she would have a run-in with others who looked like her with the exact same handicap that she had when she was much younger with her noticeable limp. That would eventually tell her hunters more about her past.
