Not all creatures are friendly though but in the end they are stuck with their human until they die. In this world there are many people that will take advantage of their powers, and use it to bring misfortune upon the populace.
….
Time for the hunt.
Rase jumps from building her footsteps
are light to keep herself from being seen, then she stops as her
partner Jehu waves at her from a distance to signal that he is in
position.
As soon as he gives the signal she starts the
chaos.
Bombs go off around the village, Screams of pain
and panic sound off.
Quickly a man in Armour races to a
building. When he arrives he is panting but quickly recovers shouting
to one of his men.
“Where did that explosion come
from?!
“A clan decided to attack the town, we need
to get ready to drive them out!”
Rase looks down
as the townsfolk begin to scatter to prepare for their attack.
So
Rase begins to pick off the stragglers.
With quick
succession cuts into the necks of the villagers like butter.
“One
of the Demons is here!”
With a quick jab to
their neck, she ends them.
But then more comes for
her This time the ones that arrive are better armed to deal with
her.
“Your life ends here Demon!”
She
quickly throws down a smoke bomb and dashes in to confront the
tallest one of the group her dagger bypasses his armor and stabs him
through the heart.
“Aaargh!”
“Naru!”
The
man slashes downward with his spear where he heard the fighting
hoping to hit the demon but Rase dodges backward while pulling out
her dagger.
The fear in their faces is priceless to
her, Her smiling wolf demon mask must be striking to normal
soldiers.
With a second of hesitation from her prey, the
leader with the heavy-duty armor snaps out of his fear and gives his
order.
“Attack!”
They bring their spears
forward poised to end her life.
Idiots…
Like
a snake her attacks are quick and deadly, the dagger in her hand
slashes through their weapons and armor. Her speed outclassing them
to the point three of them already has their neck slashed with
frightening accuracy.
The blood drenching her body as she
looks at them, her grinning mask makes them think she is a demon
incarnate.
“Is that all you got?”
Their
expression is all that she needs to know.
The screams of
the villages are all that sound during the night.
…
Rase
searches through the destroyed town for any survivors the fire has
died down leaving nothing but charred remains. There are few specks
of fire in some sections of the town so she can see fine even though
it’s nighttime.
Suddenly there is movement behind her
she grabs her dagger and turns she realizes it’s just Jehu.
“Good
everyone is dead over here...”
Jehu looks around before
calling out to Rase while waving at her.
He wears a
similar demon mask to Rase but is the shape of a monkey with sharp
teeth, he also has dark clothing that makes it easier to be concealed
through the night. He has a bloody club in his right hand as he waved
at her with his left hand.
“Hey, Wolf!”
Rase
turns to him while her black demon mask smiles its sharp teeth
showing, she begins to question Jehu.
“What's the status
report, you have any trouble with any soldiers?”
Jehu
shakes his head while glancing around the fire.
“Nope,
They were easy to deal with. Though in the process of searching I
found some cool clothes, we can clean the bloodstains off them like
usual. This place has fancy wears for a town at the outskirts of
Zaru.”
Rase shrugs while gesturing for Jehu to follow
her, he follows while they step over the dead bodies.
“I
don't like the woman's clothes here they are boring. Maybe Cobra
would have interest in taking them, Too bad she wasn't sent on this
mission.”
Rase begins to search around one more time for
any survivors this time Jehu searches with her.
After
about twenty minutes of searching the town, they don’t find any
life.
“We should go back to the village, the elder will
be irritated if we take too long.”
Jehu nods but looks
at the dead bodies.
“Ok, can you help me take some of
these clothes home? The selection for men's clothing is really good
and it would be a shame to leave them.”
Rase huffs but
nods.
“Fine, make sure you get the ones that don't stink
too bad. I need my sense of smell to be intact.”
…
After
gathering some men’s clothing from the dead bodies, Rase and Jehu
go to their hidden area near the town with a carriage and riding
horses. The trees and bushes conceal the area, it’s hard for normal
people to approach the location since Rase and Jehu set some traps
that normal people can’t detect only assassins from other clans
can. Since the traps were not set off that mean’s none of their
enemies were near the area.
Rase gathers the meat
for the riding beasts and water from the carriage while Jehu puts the
clothes into the carriage. The Riding beast happily eats the food and
drinks the water. Rase pets the two of them.
Rase looks
back to the carriage and calls to Jehu.
“You ready,
Monkey?”
After some shuffling Jehu appears from the side
of the carriage his monkey mask smiles at Rase
“Yep,
let’s go!”
He sits down on the riding seat since
there is enough space for two people Rase sits next to him. When they
are settled Jehu takes the reigns while Rase is on the lookout for
any potential enemies her weapons in her hand. Jehu begins to guide
the riding beast to begin the journey back home.
...
Rase
and Jehu arrive at the village in the early morning, the village is
hidden deep in a forest, on the outskirts is a rocky terrain that is
hard to navigate across if someone was inexperienced with the
land.
Once they arrive in a clearing a large dark
fortified wall stands proudly in front of them.
There are
guards in front of the gate they also have demon masks and different
weapons.
One of the guards approaches them it’s Maka.
Her mask is that of a bird she words heavy armor but Rase and Jehu
knew she could move easily with it.
“Stop where you
are!”
She points her spear at the two of them.
Make
asks the question the Clan’s saying to see if we were truly who we
were.
“The color of the sky is blue because?”
This
question is directed at Rase first so Rase answers.
“Because
The Rechi Gods haven’t spilled enough blood yet.”
Maka
nods to Rase then turns to Jehu addressing him.
“The
wise men of Orcaina says?”
Jehu nods saying his
answer.
“’ If your enemies spill a quarter of your
blood, take a gallon of theirs.’”
Maka eases her grip
on her weapon and then greets them with a smile.
“Welcome
back, Rase and Jehu.”
Rase and Jehu get off the riding
seat both of them greeting her with a handshake.
“Glad
to be back, could you get someone to get the clothes out of the
carriage? Jehu couldn’t help himself and brought some men’s wears
with us.”
Jehu stops from collecting the clothes they
brought he growls at Rase.
“Hey, you were OK with
it, Don’t try to say it like it’s a bad thing!
Maka’s
mask smiles in amusement.
“I will get Kuo and Omrul to
get them and put up your Riding Beasts. You should report to the
elder, he will happy to see that both of you are safe.”
Maka
then walks back to one of the guards then walks back to
Rase.
“Butrag will open the gate for you and
Jehu.”
Rase nods to Maka and glances at Jehu who is
talking to Tramu.
“Thanks, Maka we will see you around,
Come on Jehu.”
The large gate slowly opens and
reveals their village there are large tents left and right of the
straight path. Fire pits and wooden sticks with strings attached to
hang their wet clothes. Since it’s early morning people are waking
up to do chores around the village. No one wears their demon mask in
the village unless they are assassins.
At the end of the
long path going north, there is a tent that is bigger than the other
tents with two guards in standing front of it. Bollo has large armor
that covered his whole body he has no weapon but Rase knew he fights
with his fist, his demon mask is the shape of a bull.
Chema
has armor but it’s smaller his demon mask is in the shape of the
cheetah he has a sword attached to his waist.
“What
is your business?” Bollo asks
Rase begins to
speak.
“Wolf and Monkey are back to report about their
mission in Zaru.”
Both of the guards look at
each other than a nod to Rase and Jehu.
“Wait
here, I will let the Elder know you have come back.”
Chema
goes into the tent to speak to the elder.
After a few
minutes, Chema comes out and opens the tent flap to let them
through.
“The elder has accepted your request to
enter.”
Jehu and Rase nod and enter the tent.
The
tent had an array of ornaments hanging around the tent that lead to a
long wooden table. There are twenty-five chairs on both sides of the
table, An older man sat at the north of the table reading different
scrolls and looks up when they enter.
Huntin doesn’t
wear his demon mask when there is no political meeting happening at
the time. So he just wears dark red robes his two swords on his
waist.
“Oho, I see you two made it back safely,
Come on sit, tell me about the mission.”
Rase and Jehu
first bow to the elder and then find a seat near the right of the
table.
After they are comfortable, The Elder does a hand
motion for them to speak.
Rase begins her report.
“We
have completed our mission Elder. Everyone in Zaru has been
eliminated.”
“We bought male clothing too! The
fashion there was unique this time.” Jehu chips in.
“Good
Good, did you fight anyone that was troublesome? Like the Merle clan,
since that town was closest to their area?”
Rase shakes
her head.
“No one that we fought were from that clan, I
don’t think. If they were they are already dead.”
Huntin
smirks leaning back in his chair.
“I see, now for the
most important question.”
Huntin holds his arms
out in a sweeping motion.
“Did you guys have
fun?”
Rase’s and Jehu’s demon mask smiles an evil
expression appears on their face.
Rase is the first one to
answer.
“Yes, it was really fun.”
Jehu
pumps his fist up in the air.
“Ha Ha! More like exciting
I hope we can do a mission like that again!”
Huntin
chuckles at both of Jehu’s antics.
“Very good,
Keep up the good work you two. Go sleep for the rest of the day, I
will give you another mission when the time comes.
“Yes
Sir.”
“OK!”
Huntin dismisses them with a
wave.
“You are dismissed.”
They
both bow then leave the tent.
Rase turns to Jehu
yawning.
“Alright Jehu, I’m going to sleep see you
tomorrow.”
Jehu stretches his arms back gives her a yawn
as a response.
“I guess we are both tired have a good
sleep, Rase.”
Jehu waves and goes in the direction of
his tent which is to the left side of the split path.
Rase
turns to her right of the path and goes and finds her tent which is
near the blacksmith tent. She enters her tent and takes off her mask
she looks to her right, her brown skin and blue eyes appearing in the
mirror she slicks her messy brown hair. Rase grins at her mirror her
pointy teeth showing.
“Today was a fun day.”
Then
she gets ready to sleep.
