The Assassin

Once in a distant time there was an assassin who was hired to kill lots of different people for money, which he used for new weapons, food, and the things he needed to stay alive.

He was walking in the marketplace when he heard someone call his name; he went around a corner and found the man who had called. The man gave him a piece of paper containing a name, someone he had to kill.

This is what the paper said:

I need you to take out a man called Abdul Coren.
He will be very well guarded so take your time planning the attack.
You will find him in the city of Cradd.
Be swift my friend.

He then rushed to Cradd on his horse, arriving in 20 minutes.

When he got there he gained information from listening to people speak and then he set off towards his target. He got there very fast and walked up behind the man and silently stabbed him in the back. Nobody even noticed until the man fell over, but by then the assassin had left, running on the rooftops, and then out the city. Not even the guards had seen him because he had planned his attack so well.
