Ken
It was nearly midnight in the town surrounding RavenWood, and most of the inhabitants had gone to sleep. Two strangers stepped out quietly from the dark of the woods surrounding the town and let the moonlight bathe upon their faces. Black cloaks shrouded the strangers' bodies, but the moon gave clarity to their faces. The one in front was taller, and there was an edge to his dark red eyes that clearly distinguished him as the leader. Soft silver hair swept across in the wind as he turned to his companion. Where he was reserved and quiet she was full of energy. Lush curls cascaded down her face, but don't let that pretty hair fool you. Unbeknowest to the random passerby, she was armed and deadly.
"Sophy," the male said softly. "We've finally arrived."
As she turned towards the speaker, who was known as Ken, no last name, one could see no resemblance between the two. Yet they've known each other for as long as each could remember, although Ken still remembered his life before meeting the Kaherin family. Memories of always being cold and hungry resurfaced in his mind, and Ken slowly clenched his right hand into a fist.
"Finally," Sophy replied as she followed Ken's gaze to the sleeping town. There was nothing that distinguished this town from any other one, save for the enormous manor in the background, so large it appeared to dwarf the town. Despite the light of the near full moon, the manor was shrouded in a cloud of gray and black, appearing impenetrable from where Ken and Sophy stood.
The two companions slowly made their way down the dirt path that had brought them through the woods and soon found their boots tapping on a paved brick path. Silence was their companion as they walked the last stretch towards town, but Ken's mind was far from silent. Finally, after all these years, he would get his revenge. The kindness that they treated him when he was a vulnerable young lad would be the kindness he'll unleash upon their return.
"Hey Ken," Sophy said after a while. "What now?"
Ken stopped in his tracks and looked up again at the moon. A couple of clouds were lazily drifting by, but it was evident that the moon would soon be full. Tomorrow, the moon would be at its largest.
"Now we rest," he said simply. "Tomorrow we attack."
