Jesper walked through Caer-Anglia's streets.  He stepped up to the Aristols door, ready to knock. 
 Suddenly, he spun and around and stared behind him.  Nothing. <There someone else here...>
 He thought.  He pushed forward with his mind, searching.  Suddenly, a rapier appeared in his hand,
 and he swung to to his left.  There was a clang of metal on metal as his sword was stopped in
 midair.  He looked at his rival, and silently gasped.
The man was a nightmare, decaying flesh covered his face.  Only the evil smile on his face betray
 signs of life.  After a moment, the thing spoke, with a dry, raspy voice, "So... you are the one
 who has joined the other two?  Pathetic...."
Jesper's eyes glowed briefly as he looked at the man.  Two blades, one fixed to each of his arms,
 shined under the afternoon sun.  The blades were attached to some kind of bracer, each blade
 running from a foot in front of his hand to just in front of his elbow.  "Who are you?" is all
 Jesper managed.
"My name is not important, but stay out of affairs that don't concern you, or you may pay... with
 your life...."  With that, the man ducked, faster then Jesper could react, and slashed a gash
 along his side. "We are watching you..."  With that, the evil thing disappeared, a cloud of smoke
 betraying that he was even there at all...
