assassins

This is a fantasy story. Characters can be on any side (good or evil).


Okay, you have to create a character (any race e.g. – elf, human etc).

The character can have magic but not very strong. The character has to be an assassin (A highly skilled assassin), in any race and ready to do anything for his survival (except maybe betraying his people, although he acts like he is).
This story takes place in the medieval ages you know swords bows etc. no high tech guns or anything.

Okay here’s my character.

Name – Ladreal
Gender - Male
Eyes – Dark blue
Hair - Black
Weapons – Two light deadly swords on each side of his waist
Bio – Learned to live in the streets. Later he was sent to train to be a assassin.
Race – Half Shape shifter and Black elf
Age – 100 (But he keeps it a secret and says his age is 22)
Special – has the ability to fight faster than the best human, has magic, but uses it rarely. Has the ability to shape shift to any form, but like before he uses it rarely. Other abilities unknown

(My writing is probably bad, if it is pay no attention.)




Galta looked at the map again “Okay how the hell do we get into this fortress” he asked.
“That’s your problem. It’s the king’s orders. All I know is that you must send someone into that fortress to assassinate the leader of the invasion without getting captured and survive until he or she gets here again. Do you understand?” Replied Grean grimly.
“Yes sir” said Galta, he turned and walked out of the tent.
Galta walked through the muddy grounds careful not to slip. Then he walked into another tent.
“Captain!, get me your best assassins now!” ordered Galta angrily.
“Yes sir! Right away sir!” replied the captain and ran out of the tent.
A little later two figures appeared.
“You sent for us?” One figure asked
“Yes introduce your self!” commanded Galta
“My names Ladreal” said the same figure
“And yours?” Galta asked



(The rest is up to you)

Name – Ara
Gender - Female
Eyes – sky blue
Hair - brown
Weapons – A back sword (It molds to her back when it is in its seath (i think that is the right word) but when it comes out it is rock hard. Throwing knives that are always strapped to her legs and arms, then a knife that looks like a hair ornament that is stuck in her hair.
Bio – Orphand as a young child she was taken in to become an assassin.
Race – Half Shape shifter and Pixie
Age – 21
Special – Has the ability to shape shift to any form, but feels no need for it, can jump really high and fly (pixie) though she hasn't flown in who knows how long and doesn't plan on starting now.

"Ara," She replied to the man her eyes searching the area. She didn't want to have to talk anymore then she needed to, when she was pared with another assassian she let them do the talking. But when she wanted or needed to talk she would.

Name – Karana
Gender - Female
Eyes – Gray Green
Hair - Golden Blonde
Weapons – short sword on right hip, bow on back, knives tucked into belt and boots
Bio – left her village to study under an aristocrat but trained to be an assassin
Race – half elf, half mortal
Age – in her 40s (but says and looks like she's 21)
Special – has both elf and human characteristics (pointed ears, telekenisis/magic, mortal - but lengthed - life, human emotions), but she veers away from using her magic and ability to talk to animals so she can keep her identity a secret


She strode into camp, ignoring the puzzled or wary stares the men shot at her. Her horse, a black appaloosa, followed her willingly all the way to the main tent.

She entered calmly, having heard every word. "You said you needed assassins? Mind if I accompany you?"

Looks interesting.

Name= Unknown but she calls herself Falcon.
Age= She appears to be a little under 18 but is actually 79.
Race= Dark Elf.
Eyes= Violet.
Hair= Indigo but such a dark shade that it's practically black.
Complexion= A pale, duck egg blue.
Weapons= Bow, daggers, sword and various throwing knives.
Powers= Falcon has the ability to freeze time for a short period but she uses it rarely because it makes her incredibly tired. Other than this, she is fast, stealthy and skilled with her weapons.
History= Falcon tells no one of her past and is currently seeking employment. Few people alive know of her abilities.

Ladreal didn’t look the least surprised.
“I don’t think so w…..” Galta said.
“What did you call us for?” cut in Ladreal
“To assassinate the leader of an invasion is in this fortress” replied Galta showing Ladreal the map.
“This fortress will be a challenge for me. The more assassins we have the better” said Ladreal smiling. Then turning to the stranger who had come inside he said “no need for introductions let go”
Once outside Ladreal whistled. A magnificient horse came galloping to him. It was white in color and had no leather strapping (I hope this is the right word) on its body.
“ I ride it bare backed” said Ladreal jumping onto the horse in one leap.

*You mean it had no saddle? Man, that was what i was gonna do, hmmm, i think i got somethin else though.*

Ara smiled, she looked towards the woods, until she called her horse it wouldn't come out and she wasn't about to call it around people. All she had to do was call its real name and it would come. She walked to the edge and called out,
"Firestone," Her voice was to low for the group to hear but her horse would hear it. He was a magnifacent black horse with a star on its forehead and a few specks for white on its rump. It was wonderfully built for running long distance. It stood at about 17 hands, he was perfect for fighting because he stood just perfectly to wack off heads though she never planned on having to do that. His saddle was a light weight working saddle. It's pomel had a crest on it that looked like a dimond star. She swung up in the saddle and rode back to the others. Fire; Firestones nickname, pranced happy to have her on his back again. "Whats the plan?" she asked rubbing under Fire's mane.

*Sorry i love horses and their tack, *

Falcon

"I hear ye be looking fer work?" A gruff, masculine voice siddled up beside me.
"And where did you hear that?" I asked, purposefully taking a sip of my drink. I felt the man at my side wriggle and wring his hands nervously.
"I...I heard it from reliable sources."
"Did you now? What's the job?"
"Protection work."
"I'm not in that business."
"Not even for a good price?"
"Nope," I replied and, without turning to face the man, I shoved a dagger into his chest. He made no sound as he sank from his bar stool and I turned away, finished my drink and then left the tavern.

(Where is this tavern anyway?)
(Oh i forgot to tell you that when your posting you can write about other characters too. You don't have to stop the post as soon as you want another character to talk. Write him/her talking its fine with me)




Ladreal smiled then said "Who needs plans right now, lets get to our destination first"
The others considered it, but before anyone could reply Ladreal said "Come on" and galloped away, closely followed by Ara and Karana. After galloping for a while they came to a dense forest.
Ladreal jumped down from his horse and looked around. his sencers felt the danger lurking inside the forest.
"keep your eyes open" warned Ladreal.
Ara and Karana looked at each other they wernt afraid of things like this, they were trained assassins, the best trained assassins. but some thing in Ladreals voice made them nervous. Specially Ara was nervous since he knew

Ladreal smiled then said "Who needs plans right now, lets get to our destination first"
The others considered it, but before anyone could reply Ladreal said "Come on" and galloped away, closely followed by Ara and Karana. After galloping for a while through the woods they came to a dense wood denser than before.
Ladreal jumped down from his horse and looked around. his senses felt the danger lurking inside the forest.
"keep your eyes open" warned Ladreal.
Ara and Karana looked at each other they weren't afraid of things like this, they were trained assassins, the best trained assassins. but some thing in Ladreals voice made them nervous. Ladreal knew that Ara would specially be nervous because he knew she knew he would not warn her for things he or she could handle. Ladreal whispered something to his horse, in a instant the horse galloped away.
"Send your horses away, we'll continue on foot." Ladreal said although he could sense none of then like being given orders to, but they obeyed. Ladreal smiled to himself and walked into the wood.

Karana followed, not too close to their heels. Even being only half elf she could sense some form of magic in the air. She could sense the danger.

"I sense magic," she whispered. "Strong magic."

"From where?" Ladreal asked, hushed.

"Everywhere."

Fire ran off after Ladreal's horse and Ara looked at Ladreal, he was seriously worried. She ran after him and they kept going.


*Srry it is so short i couldn't think of anyting else.*

(The Tavern is in the town nearest to the fortress so why not pop over for a drink when your work is done )
Falcon

I spent a few hours wandering around the town, browsing at the weapons store and then buying a few bits and pieces from the market stalls. By the time I was finished there, the sun had reached it's highest point and I headed back to the tavern for my midday meal.
"I'd like your best lamb with a side of vegetables," I instructed the inn keeper.
"Of course Falcon," Bill replied cheerily and sent a young girl to tell the chef. Bill was a tall man with wide, sloping shoulders and blond hair that was beginning to fade to a light grey. His voice was smooth with little accent and he was one of the only ones who knew of my profession and my age. I had been coming to this pub ever since he was a young boy and he was nearing 70 now.

( Yes i think we will)
(what kind of elf is Karana?)




Ladreal stopped suddenly Karana was right there was magic not normal magic but powerful, very powerful magic.
"Yes, i sense it" said Ladreal.
"I wonder...." said Ara, but before she could Ladreal gasped.
Karana and Ara looked at him. Ladreal had a sword sticking out of his chest. surprisingly his blood was black. Ladreal turned around pulling the sword out of his chest.
"Lunatic"spat Ladreal and plunged the sword into the attackers heart.
"What?" asked Ladreal looking at the others surprised faces. " oh .. well.. forget it OK?"
the minute Ladreal and Karana looked at the attackers face they looked at the attacker surprised.
"Its an elf" said Ladreal Grimly

"Just what we need, elves trying to kill us while we go after others." Ara laughed, she didn't feel like it was funny but she wanted to lighten the mood.

"Just what we need." Ladreal muttered, he kept walking and Ara hurried to catch up the others coming after her.

"So, what exactely the plan, I mean, whose doing what?" Ara asked, Ladreal sighed, he didn;t seem in the mood to talk so Ara shut up and watched the woods for anymore elves.

Falcon

I finished my meal and washed it down with a few beers.
"You found any work yet?" Bill asked casually. I shook my head slowly.
"Not the right sort," I explained.
"The man this morning? What did he want?" Bill wondered.
"Protection services," I snorted. "Sorry you had to clean up the mess."
"That's okay. Trying to hire an assassin to protect you is just asking for trouble," Bill agreed solemly.
"You're right. I over reacted," I grinned sheepishly.
"Did you ever think of telling people what you do?" Bill suggested.
"Why would I want to do that? I'd have the king and every other big-headed fool trying to sign me up."
"Yeah but it would make it a lot easier to find work," Bill explained.
