Prologue 2
[Pine forest in blizzard]
Young hunter: [drag a wolf, stumble over something, revealed to be a frozen man]
Scene 1
[In a small cave, blizzard howling outside. A wake up by the fire, reach for something in his coat nervously then look relieved]
B: [walk into the cave, shake off snow] How are you feeling?
A: You saved me, Mister?
B: Want some water? [sit down]
A: Yes, yes please [drink] Thank you, thank you so much sir.
B: What happened?
A: I was... tracking down a fugitive, and the storm was pretty bad... Lucky you got me before he did.
B: So you are one of them, the people searching for that...assassin?
A: A horrible murderer, right in these mountains. The police are offering rewards to whoever that doesn't fear the storm, although I should have. It's a bad idea to come here. But you know, it's been a troubled time. There're all kinds of creatures running around, killers, robbers...?
B: Indeed, I've seen quite a few wanted posters.
A: You have? Well...nice.
B: But not the one you're looking for. Would you tell me what he looks like?
A: Sure, he um... is quite strong, brown hair, green eyes, pale, with a scar on his cheek.
B: That is hard to miss. Thank you. You need to rest. I'll go find you some food. [stand up]
A: Can you tell me the way out of the mountains, Mister?
B: The blizzard should be over by tomorrow, I'll walk you out of here. Don't worry.
Scene 2
[Pine forest and snow under the sun]
B: [stretch and breathe in]
[footsteps]
B: [turn around]
A: Good morning, Mister.
B: [nod]
A: It really is over. Hey, I know this place. I think I can leave on my own.
B: It's good to hear. [walk past A, pick up the crossbow] But I suggest you come with...
[click]
B: [straight up, turn around]
A: [point a revolver at B] Get rid of your weapons!
B: [let go of the crossbow, pull out the knife, throw to the ground]
A: I'm so sorry, Mister. I'm really grateful you saved me, but just to be I decide to kill you.
B: So that assassin you spoke of is in fact yourself?
A: Let's say I'm just unlucky enough to have run into the same place as he did, and had to hide from all his tails. I'm nothing more than a robber.
B: But killing me will make you a murderer.
A: [grin] Oh don't worry. I can plant this on him. He's killed so many, he won't care about one more. What a shame, Mister. You are good at the wild, but you're an amateur in men. [shoot, no bullet come out]
B: [punch A, grab the gun, throw A to the ground, point the gun on A's head] You're the amateur. Isn't it easy to tell when a revolver is not loaded?
A: Wh..when did you?
B: When you were buried in snow. [load the gun] I was thinking of returning these when we get out of the mountains, but you see so eager for them.
A: No, wait! Please, hand me to the police. I'm just robber but I bet they'll pay you more or less.
B: …But I don't want to meet them at all.
A: It's you..
[Bang]
B: [stand up] You were right. I've killed so many, and do not care about one more.
