Desert Rose
Adored Muse
The sky was decorated with dark pink and purple hues as clouds began to settled in threatening rain. Rain was something quite common in the area, but their magic was so refined that if the royals didn't want it to be wet the magic shield could even block out droplets looking to refresh the moisture craving earth. The royals didn't see the necessity of doing so after all it would prove to be quite a challenging feat. So as the heavy rain fell washing away any evidence of a shadowy figure approaching the house of one of the councilmen.
A cry for help was masked by clash of thunder crackling outside. It was possibly their only chance to ever hope to get help, and it was squashed by mother nature, herself. Blue terrified eyes stared into cold hazel eyes freckled with specs of gold. A sickening grin twisted on the assailant's lips while the councilman clutched his chest gasping for breath in a painful effort to not choke and die. "it's less painful if you don't struggle you know." A soft voice spoke with such tenderness it sent a shiver up his spine as she releases her hands allowing him to collapse to the ground. Was he to die by a woman's hand? He wondered to himself in his final moments of shameful death choking on his own blood from the stab wound.
The rebel assassin always stayed until their victims took their final breath. It was a surety they couldn't afford to lose. If any one of them ever ended up surviving it could mean the end and the idea of starting over was terrifying. There were some nuances the assassin picked up when she was a little girl. Like how the dead would have their eyes covered, she didn't remember why exactly just that it was a thing and it was something she picked up on. She covered the man's dull blue eyes frozen with terror with a gauze like cloth. Removing any evidence of her other than the dead body she removed herself from the large house.
Raethlynn stepped out into the downpour letting the rain soak her cloak shielding her skin tight trousers decorated with a thigh belt that held throwing knives and pouches filled with vials of various poisons. On top she wore a somewhat loose fitting tunic a more manly attire but fare more functional than a corset. The cloak pulled tightly around her thin frame as the droplets bounced off the hood while she quickly walked through the streets. Now she was nothing more than a villager caught in the rain seeking shelter.
Shelter was a small house near the border of the barrier, a place where no one liked to live. She shivered some as she stepped out of the cold rain and into her soon to be warm little house. She lit a fire in the fire place and hung up her cloak to dry before taking off her weapons and changing into something far more suitable for a lady, even if it was for a poor one at that. Soon the events would unfold as the councilman marked the second death the royals would have to deal with. The first person she killed was a lowly guard to send a small message, when that wasn't heeded as serious the rebels took their threat a little bit higher. They would wait and see how the royals responded to that before deciding their next move. Raethlynn was simply the messenger nothing more and nothing less.
