"Hello there! Where are you headed?" Olivier looked up, "hum? Oh, Theen! There you are." He turned to Dawn and gestured for her to follow him, "c'mon, he can help us." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I think I am here. Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Blue focused on his papers and sat in the seat he’d been assigned, spreading them across the table. He eyed the three new people who’d entered but didn’t move to greet them. They were Zarokhavan. That scared him, especially with the knight so nearby. Mainland Zarokhavan come in two types, he remembered his brother telling him. You have the poor sods being manipulated, and then you have the happy, maniacal sods manipulating them. If you ever see a Zarokhavan who looks like they’re nice, think again. There’s a reason their colony doesn’t speak to them anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bald Brandon Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Able had to wait patiently for Alen. Eventually he saw Alen leave the house and sighed with relief, he had thought that Alen wouldn't be able to come. So, he waited for Alen to come to the meeting place. @2EmLee2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2EmLee2 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Alen walked to the front gate to her estate. She climbed over it and sprinted to a side servants door to the manor. She ran up a flight of stairs, criss crossed through a few hallways, and finally reached her large bedroom. Her lady's maid, Ali, was waiting there, as always. But, today, tears were streaming down her face. "What's wrong?" Alen asked. "Oh, miss! the lady of the house! She... She..." Ali was choking on her sobs. "What? What's wrong with my mom?" "She's... dead." Alen burst out of her room into the hallway in disbelief. She ran up another set of stairs and slid to a stop outside her mother's room, verifying what Ali said. The house janitor stood there, draping a white sheet over something in the hallway. Inside the room there was another body, also topped with a large cloth. "What?" Alen said in disbelief. The janitor looked up at her. "I'm sorry for your losses, m'lady." "Losses? My mom and..." "The elder lady of the house, miss Dalien, your grandmother." Alen shook her head, tears welling in her eyes. A loud buzzing noise started to sound in her head as she sank to her knees, leaning up against the hall wall. "How?" Alen asked. "An assassin, we think. The detective is arriving within the hour." Alen watched as the janitor walked down the hallway, leaving her alone with the corpses of the two people she loved most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarms went off in her head as she pulled back enough to glance at an unfamiliar face. Assassin? Years of training kicked in instinctively. She yanked the knife out of her boot and pressed it to the stranger’s throat. Nearby, people were staring, some even shouting for her to stop. The sound snapped her out of her daze, and she glanced at the stranger again. Now she could see how unconventional his clothing was, how clumsily he moved. The stranger did not even carry a weapon. Her cheeks burned as she released him. “Who are you?” she asked the stranger, trying to hide the embarrassment in her voice. There was anger there, too. This stranger would pay for making her look a fool. @The Ward's Guard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorena glanced at the knight, nodding curtly. “Have you finished the task I gave you?” She frowned at Olivier. “Do you need me for some reason?” Quietly, she seethed to herself. Foreigners. They had no propriety whatsoever. Zarokhavan would teach them how it was done. Edited February 4, 2021 by midnight13 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
