Chapter 1

---------------

"So you want me to rescue the women that had been taken from town, correct? I'll do it." A woman of the age of 20 answered. She has neck length black hair, ight green eyes, her skin is a bit tan and stands at around a height of 5'8". She was wearing a buttoned, light blue shirt, a pair of green jeans and black sneakers. On her left ear is a small ring piercing.

"Yes. They have been taken to a tower." The town mayor replied. "They even took my beautiful daughter and wife."

"I'll find them sir. So the tower is north of here?" The woman asked.

"Yes. Please find them, Danielle. I promise you that the town will reward you once you return with them."

"Say no more. I will leave immediately."

"This place looks like it has seen better days." Danielle commented as she entered the first floor of the tower. On her right hand, she was wielding a Chinese dao with the hilt in the shape of the head of a chinese dragon, the eye being a small, ruby gem. She walked ahead down the hallway, not a sign of any other living creature in these halls. She kept walking, keeping her dao at the ready. Nothing happened... Until Danielle heard something which almost made her jump.

It sounded like a woman's scream and the sound of a whip cracking.  If she listened carefully she could hear someone laughing as well.
