Welcome to Gaia! ::

Years have gone by since the seas raged and the sky was set aflame, the Lord of Chaos had arisen, a new Queen of the Underworld had been proclaimed, and an angel general had arisen to a post few knew existed, and fewer knew about. The time of the rebelion was over. Or so everyone thought. But a lone assassin slipping through the town spoke otherwise...or rather, his actions did. He silently climbed over houses and jumped across rooftops with ease in the great city, black cloak billowing behind him. The hunter was hunting and his prey was nearly in sight. The ghostly form slide across the roofs of building after building, an ethereal wraith in the pitch black night. The stars stood out like diamons and the moon was a scythe slicing through the crisp night air. Suddenly the assassin stopped, stooping low he climbed the side of the ajacent building. Inside a government official sat in his office, deshevled hair speaking of his long hours at the desk. He was focused and motivated to do his job, too focused to hear the window silently open, or feel the cool night breeze blow against his skin. The silhoutte that climbed into the room, darker than the night around it, suddenly came into view, his black cloak held with a polished silver pin, an emblem of an emblazoned hook gleamed dully in the small amount of light. The dark blacks and purples of his outfit blended with the cold night behind him, seemed out of place amid the white walls of the office building. He crept across the floor with feet as silent as death. His boots where a dull black leather, but the wicked daggers he carried glimmered dangerously in the light. The shadow-figure was now right behind the man's chair. He sheathed one dagger silently back into its well oiled leather sheath and reached a dark purple glove slowly around the mans face, as quick as lightning the hand snapped around his mouth, before the poor man had even gotten a chance to realise what was happening the long blade of the dagger slipped noislisly into his ribs and out. The assassin was quick, laying the mans head carefully on the table, arranged just so to appear he had falen asleep at his desk. The assassin turned around and quickly walked back to the window, hopping up on the ledge he closed the window behind him before jumping down the ajacent roof and trotting away. Eyes hidden below his wide-brimmed hat, his lips twisted into a small smile as the first scream reached his ears. The night was peaceful but it wouldn't be for long. Jairn Donale could hear the money tumbling into his hands already, as he slipped through the town. A black wraith on the rooftops.

Hoping back out of the office window I climb down, hopefully that last kill would get this man's attention, he was a high-up in a large corparation I was trying to get hired by, they always seemed to bring in more money. As I dropped to the ground I walked away down the alleyways of the city, whistling a tune. Killing was always a part of business, it didn't matter what sort of business, you always had rivals, and those always had to be cut down. I was good at cutting them down, and stabbing too.

Not looking for a hit at the moment I was luckily carrying my phone with me, as it buzzed in my pocket I pulled it out and flipped it open. "Hello....mhm....that would be right, his death was of my accord.....yes ofcourse im applying for the job....a metting?.....now's good." I flip the cell phone closed and turn around, making my way back towards the corporations building, I guessed I should enter through the front like a normal person this time. I had my flash powder and smoke screens hiddden on my person incase it was a trap. That happened last time, not something I liked doing, killing other assassins, but money was money.

Most likely a lie, but thats how it usualy went, never meeting the man that sent you out to take anothers life. That was normal. "Oh its no problem." I said taking her hand for a moment and lightly kissing it, showing off to anybody at all could end good, unless they thought you where being pompose...The man had to be someone in the room, there where a few people still hurrying around, men reading the newspaper, most likely that. But it was always good to be careful, i watched everyone, pretending I was looking around the office. "If you would mind telling me how my resume looked?"

I nodded and shifted slightly, of all the men that where reading the newspaper only two remained, one seemed to be a door greeter and the other was on the phone. "Yes ofcourse I have been in this...business for quiet a time. No two companies usualy have the same rules."That was a very expensive outfit for a door greeter. "Test job? No that was a....gift. A show of my work. If you would mind explaining the..rules?" I looked slightly down, using the rim of my wide-brimmed hat to peer sidelong at the other people in the room.

Well, seemed I wouldn't find out who I was working for...if maybe just yet. I grinned dispite myself. "Well its of no problem, not like I haven't done this before, so, how will I be getting my instructions?" Information was always a good thing, but too much information was definately not good, I killed more than one man for that very reason.

I grinned again and flourished my cloak. The greeter I had been watching earlier grinned when she had finished talking, not enough to prove anything but enough to give possible hints, the flourish gave me a second to process this. "Very well. If that is all, good day." I turned on the spot and left an atleast slightly perplexed secretary behind me, I stared the greeter in the eye and nodded. Was there was flash of something in his eye? The eyes always gave away what the face did not.

As soon as I was out of the building my phone rang, well they where pretty fast atleast. I flipped open my phone, "Hello? I presume I am speaking to my new boss?" People around me carried on with their work in the mornings silvery light. "You work fast I see. I think I like you." That was left to be found out though, what man was he? My first job would give a little insight into how much he trusted me.
