The Lost Way: Chapter 3

Feng is known to be a city torn apart by crime and poverty which share the ground with its historic might, dating from centuries ago, when it was a fortress - not so open for foreigners - when a few courageous men, not even warriors, defended their families and the honor of their own. The danger came unexpectedly from the lands on the North one night with some hundred well trained breathing killing machines in an attempt to take possession of Feng. At that time, the city didn't have any men responsible for its defence and the intruders easily broke into. But then they realized they would regret doing so, as the battle prolonged more than trey expected. A few completely unknown people with, however, a great plan, started systematically setting up different kind of traps which were too good for the aggressors, who soon were left to the number of 40. There goes a legend that these left warriors challenged the city defenders in an open fight that was miserably lost. Since that day the few defenders were known to be a symbol of boldness, selflessness and courage.
Heckie also possessed these virtues and that is the reason he would be stealing only from rich people. Born in Feng, he has been living either on the streets, or somewhere around the city in the forest, for as much as he could remember and that never bothered him at all. He was already used to this kind of life and didn't want to change it in any way. Besides, he had anything he needed thanks to his abilities, which were, remarkable if not more and gave him the chance to spend the usual time for work, for mastering them in the woods.
Now he was 18 and you could say he looked a little bit more mature but that's because he turned the kid inside himself into a man long time ago. Nonetheless, he was adventurous and rarely spent two consecutive days quietly, enjoying his meal, or going after girls - Heckie was a regular competitor in the local dexterity competitions and the number of his wins is not much different from the number of his participations - or said with other words - he never lost. Heckie didn't always win fair and square and all the time there were angry men, who wanted an explanation but everything is so simple.
He can make objects go wherever he wants them to go. It may sound simple but it is definitely not and this is the main reason Heckie goes out of Feng in order to master his skills. For the past several years his powers increased significantly which, if not else, really surprised him and let him dream - so far he was using them just for fum but now it was different - he could make his living much more easily, which in Feng was a prominent attainment. Since then he was extremely gifted, talking about games like archery, guiding the arrows with his habitual ease, winning good amounts of gold, respectively women, and the idea of coming back soon for another competition.
