Interactive Narrative: Story

I have decided to stick with the historic, Middle eastern/Morrocan theme for my story.

ASSASSIN STORY

A young boy is running through the streets, being chased by palace guards, clutching a package of some sort under his arm.  (This should set the scene)

Boy runs down a dead end alley and Guards catch up to him and order him to drop what he stole

Guard 1: “Halt! You have committed a crime against our city and our great lady empress (could be male or female, grand name to show power and importance) (show the empress) 

Young Boy looks fearful and pleads “Please sir, my family have no food…”

Guard 2: “Theft is theft, and everyone knows the punishment”

Fear strikes the young boy and he panics and tries to give the loaf of bread back

Young Boy “Please, take it, I wont do it again I promise”

Guard 2: “Thievery is against the law and law breakers like you will be made an example of under his/her majesties orders”

Guards close in as the boy huddles up and mutters “please, please” Screen/panels start to darken until turning completely black as the boy waits for his defeat

Boy is still sitting huddled up, he opens one eye with confusion as to how he is still alive.

He suddenly sees the two guards bodies slumped on the ground, either unconscious or dead.

Boy looks around and then up to see the figure of the assassin (first time we see her)

Assassin “Go home, quickly, and take that” (points to bread) 

Assassin disappears and boy is left.
