Chapter 1: Criminal Kyle

It was dark. Almost too dark. Kyle ran through the forest, darting under tree limbs and over protruding roots as if his life depended on it. Because it did. He should have left the stolen goods behind. They were only slowing him down, but it was too late to second-guess himself now. He was all in.

When Kyle doubled over in pain, the rider tried to hit him in the head with the handle of his sword. Kyle, however, did this awesome looking one handed backflip (which I had taught him by the way), then spun around and swept the guy's feet from under him. Once he
