The Raven of Death

‘Sire’ The King’s Scribe Morded reluctantly whispers as he passes the tired looking king a damp beaten scroll, the marks of a document so obviously tested by the wisest of scholars for any trace of poison.

‘There is one more note that might require your attention although I admit it may just be the ramblings of a mad woman. However, you may find some hidden or deeper meaning between the scribbles and thoughts of the one the noble counsel has named the Raven of Death.’


*unreadable scribbles*

Funny things have been happening lately... Zethrion has developed his own little grudge agaisnt Clan Fearghal... apparently there was an assassination attempt made on his life from us? I don’t buy it. We've obviously been framed. I'm the Clan's only real assassin! Surely I would have been the one tasked with this if Tyrnan wanted someone dead. But he's not asked me to kill anyone! .. What a killjoy ..

The only thing is that sometimes I wonder if Zethrion KNOWS we were framed. And this is all part of some bigger picture. Like a mask hiding the real truth....

But even if he was in the dark about this framing, I don't care! I don't care about him, his lifestyle, his clan, or his face for that fact! He's mine!

If Zethrion wants an assassin, he's got one now!

Nashara has been, infected with some kind of foul, disgusting parasite that is eating her inside out... what a way to die for a self proclaimed warrior such as her ....

Maelthe has been helping her to the best of her abilities. Though, this has made her a target.

That lousy Stygian! If he wants the "Assassin"!

Here I am!

Come after me!

Leave the others alone! They don't deserve this kind of torment and torture! I don't care if he is stronger than me! I'll take him on!

...

........

I know I have nothing to do with the real assassination attempt, but at least it'll draw some attention on to me. And I'll do that any way I can! I'm good at things like that! Even if it means giving him a boot up the arse, that'll draw his attention!.. And if he doesn’t want to come after me! I'll make him!

No more hurt! Not for anyone else! And if anyone forbids me from going on this personal mission, tough! I'll choose not to listen! I'll stick my fingers in my ears if I have to!

...

Hell, I don't even know why I'm doing this...

... but, something inside me tells me its the right thing to do...

... Like, a long lost friend...

... A part of... My life? ... Me?

... Speak louder! I can't hear you!

... It is isn't it... it's the nice thing to do... the, "right" thing?

... Right?

...

...

... Help ... ... ...
