[intro 1/3] Kupiriwako
It was a cold, misty night as a handsome raptor stepped into a circle of moonlight. He was not a minute too late, or rather a minute too early, as he awaited the arrival of his deceitful companions. Under the night sky they would all ride, side by side in nights growing dark tide.
The three companions had heard news of a rich couple riding through the area. Kupiranz smiled his handsome, conniving smile as he twisted this way and that."... what such fools, to ride through unknown territory?" His tail coiled as he chit-chattered to himself. His thoughts whirled as his mind tried to focus on the initial task at hand which was to avenge the poor yet again. It had become his regular job as he climbed the ranks of the "Wanted" list. It seemed to be the only aspect of his life that had worth.
His head shot towards the sky, his eye gleaming."Of course. Everything is worthless but him."
The sound of soft paws reached his ears. He whipped around to doff his hat in a welcoming gesture as a "lone wolf" appeared from the forest line.With a wide grin across his face, he spoke in a calm and teasing tone." Why hello there my dear. It seems I'm a tad faster than you or her."
