Alright, my first attempt at a story on this site! Woo!

Chapter 1: Calm Before the Storm
The quiet before the mission. Oh, how Evander loved this.
The grey cat continued to sit on the rooftop of the little rundown shack on the side of the road. He was looking up at the night sky, catching what little glimpses of stars he could with the clouds hanging overhead. In just a couple short hours, he knew, his target would come down the dirt road the shack lays beside. He knew that his target would likely be guarded, but lowly guards are not a problem to him. It's his target, Tamlin, that he knew he would get a fight out of. Oh, how he loved an opponent that tested his skills.
Evander looked down at his sword and sheath. That blade had gotten him out of many-a-troubled spots. He looked off to his side and he could picture it now: he would see Tamlin and his guards walking down the road. He would wait until the perfect moment to jump down and strike. He would cut through the guards, killing them with ease, then moving on to battling Tamlin. Then the actual fight begins.
He looked up to see the moon had changed position in the sky. About an hour and a half had passed while he was fantasizing. He looked down the part of the road leading west, and saw the faintest glimmers of light.
The guards' lanterns.
He chuckled slightly, knowing that the time for killing would soon come. He then felt a slight tap on his head. He looked up and saw it was starting to drizzle slightly. He wasn't expecting rain tonight, but he just shrugged it off and sat up, watching anxiously as the light down the road got closer and closer.
