Darkness

Dark is here...

Forest looks dangerous as it goes into the depths of darkness.

Only a small light is coming from that old small house.

The old men is sitting on the ground one hand covered with bandages and the other hand is covered with deep scars which looks like tribal tattoos in the light of candle.

Old men takes a sip of that wine and looked towards the men with serious eyes like he's trying to find something.

DANTE: I know that you are lying.

Men looked towards dante with feared eyes and take a sip of wine.

Men: How do you know that i lied...

Dante: I live here i know this place better than anyone and i know wounds from falling and tree branches but your wounds they look more from battle.

Men looking carefully towards the oldmen. He

put down the mug.

Men: You are right i am not injured from falling or by tree branches. I got these injuries from a fight.

Dante: So you wanna tell now who you really are and how you get injured.

Men: I can't tell you who i am or why i am here but i assure you that i will not do any harm to you.

Old men suddenly bursts with a laughter and take another sip of the wine.

Dante: Thanks for my safety.

Injured men looked towards dante with confused eyes and said

....: why you laughed..??

Dante: Just remembered something from past.

They both take another sip of wine and sometime past in silence.

Dante stood up and said : I am going to check my traps in the jungle.

Men: Traps...what traps..??

Dante: i laid some traps to catch food.

After saying this old men left the house and disappeared in the darkness of the jungle.

After seeing the old men disappeared in the darkness that men slowly get up and looked everywhere.

He looked in every corner of that small house looking for something but he doesn't find anything.

Looking depressed and feared he filled his mug with wine and sat on the ground.

After drinking for sometime men fell asleep.

Men slowly opened his eyes.

The old men is sitting in front of him with some meat on a large leaf.

Dante: Want something to eat.

Men slowly got up and said how much i slept.

Dante: Not much

Old men gave him one piece of meat and some wine in a mug.

Men ate that piece and drink that wine.

That silence from last night came.Everything looks different in the light of day.

In one corner a deer covered in blood is lying.

The old men also looked different in proper light.

He looks more young and those eyes which looked fearsome in darkness is no longer.

Now he looked more like a farmer with beautiful deep blue eyes.

Men: You found anything form my pockets or from where i was lying.

Dante: No except from a tag named Scythe.

Old men passed him that tag.

Dante: So Scythe is your real name...

After thinking for few seconds said: Yes My name is SCYTHE

Dante: what else do you have.

Men looked pale

Scythe: No nothing else hust this tag.Thanks for giving it back

Dante: you know what you are not good at lying for an Agent.

Scythe: How do you know that i am an agent.

Dante: Because i have got many things from my past and this is one of them.
