Weaving through the shadows of his monarch's dense forests, Silas Swiftfoot emerged as the epitome of the Scout, a master of evasion and reconnaissance.

 

He had been born into the wilderness, a child of thorns and thickets, and Silas's keen senses and nimble agility had set him apart from her peers. His upbringing, shaped by what many would see as an unforgiving landscape, honed his ability to move undetected through the most treacherous terrain.

​

In that heart of dense vegetation, where the shadows danced, patient and malevolent, Silas crouched low amidst the undergrowth. His breath came slow and measured, his heartbeat a low, steady drum in the silence of the woodland. Ahead, the enemy camp lay shrouded in darkness: a nest of vipers should he step incautiously.

​

Silas had ventured deep into danger, his mission of utmost importance: gather intelligence, count the numbers, gauges their movements and report back to his liege. But as he watched from his concealed vantage point, a sudden sense of peril gripped him.

 

A patrol, their armour glimpsed in the moonlight, prowled towards his position. their grumbled misgivings trampling all across their awareness of their surroundings, past the stillness of his still body.

​

With his body melded with the foliage like a wraith of the forest, he could only wait out their passing. There were too many to surprise. Their number would be his end.

 

He fought down the thunderous will of his heart, caged in his chest and waited 'til their voices had become the low murmur of the night. One false move, one misplaced rustle of leaves, and he would have be discovered.

​

But Silas Swiftfoot was no novice in the art of stealth. With a patience born of years spent creeping cautiously through the wilds, he exhaled long and slow; the sweat beaded upon his brow mingling in its own time with the dampness of the forest floor.

​

Undetected.

​

As the minutes stretched into eternity, Silas continued his vigil, his gaze unwavering as he observed the enemy's movements. Each detail was etched into his mind: the positions of the sentries, the layout of the camp, the signs of weakness in their defenses.

 

This remained a perilous perch on the edge of discovery, but Silas knew that the fate of his liege rested upon his shoulders.

​

Clad in attire that blended seamlessly with the foliage, Silas's presence remained ever elusive and armed with a trusty dagger, his swift and silent strikes were as deadly as they were unexpected.

​

He became a beacon of evasion and stealth amidst the chaos of war. Her unwavering determination and uncanny ability to navigate the battlefield earned her the title of Scout, a valiant guardian of the throne in the face of adversity.
