[Those with masks and killing intentions]
Alizee awoke in a heap on the stone cold ground. Her head was pounding with excruciating pain that blurred her vision. “Arrrgh!” she said violently clutching her head and burying it between her knees. “What’s wrong Alizee dear?” a voice called out to her from the shadows. “W-what?” she mumbled under her breath trying to function what was going on while salty tears streamed down her cheeks.
Am elfin man with a large black mask that covered his face, piercing green eyes, and an excited expression walked towards her and lifted up her chin to face him. “Dear girl…” he said quietly to her as he kneeled down so he was at eye level, then gazed at her pained expression. “M-make it stop…” she pleaded while her heart beat began to speed up. The man drew his face towards hers and carefully licked the tears off her flushed cheeks, then began to rub her quivering ears. “It will stop soon.” he whispered into her ear while he lightly brushed her blonde bangs from her forehead. “You’re getting warm.” he mumbled.
“What is this?” she asked him with chopped words. “I cannot say my love.” Kai replied as he glared at the sky. “Damn you Caser” he thought to himself. “ARRRGH!” Alizee began to yell louder clutching her head even tighter. “K-Kai…” she whispered to him. He then wrapped his arms around her tightly and gently rocked her. “It will be ok…I promise.” he said quietly focusing on his hands, there was no reaction.
Looking down at Alizee he began to pity her even more. He felt her breathing slow down and her body felt more relaxed, she then sighed deeply. “Feeling more at ease?” he whispered to her. There was no response. Glancing down at her he noticed that she was unconscious- sound asleep. “I can’t leave her laying here…” he thought to himself before scooping her up in his arms and carrying her towards a small cot.
Placing her down on it softly and covering her with a warm blanket, he then sat down on the side of her bed. “I’ll keep you safe Alizee.” he said to her before resting his head on the side of the bed and closed his eyes. A few hours later Kai awoke to find Alizee still sound asleep. “That must have drained her.” he thought to himself while he stood up and tightened the fabric around his face. “This place is disgusting…” he mumbled in Orcish as he closed the door behind him and locked it tight, fidgeting with sophisticated locks as he did so.
Strolling slowly and slyly out of his dwellings, he carefully crept away. “Undercity…” he mumbled to himself as he passed forsaken salesmen and shop owners alike. No one seemed to even notice him as he skillfully slipped gold coins from bystanders bulging pockets or sat in on important conversations. For he was on the search for someone and had to gather resources before meeting him.
After over an hour of searching he came across a shady business man holding a large black briefcase tightly to his chest. The forsaken man had rotten, stained teeth, pits of flesh clinging to his body, and scraggly un-kept hair. Slyly Kai sneaked up behind the man and whispered in his ear. “Found you.”. The man merely nodded unsurprised and muttered to himself in Gutterspeak before opening the briefcase. Inside gleamed twelve daggers, all with razor sharp edges and a well polished handle. Some were crafted in differnt shapes with strange auras surrounding them. “Nice.” Kai sid quietly taking a nine inch blade in his hand and examined it carefully. Impressed, he lightly pressed the cold metal against his skin and made a clean cut. Warm, red liquid seeped down his arm as he stared at the blade rather impressed.
The man quirked a brow at him but continued on with his examination. Kai slowly lifted his arm up to his lips and slowly licked the dripping blood. “I’ll take them all.” he said to him abruptly. The forsaken man looked at him suprised. “All?”. Kai nodded and tossed a rather large sack into the palm of his hand. “Knicked it on my way here.” Kai said with an impish smirk while he jingled more coins in his pocket.
The forsaken man looked at him quizically. “It’s all gold Sir.” Kai said flipping a gold peice in his hand. The man merely nodded and slipped the briefcase under Kai’s cloak. “Imported weapons…” the man mumbled to himself. “Oh?” Kai said raising a brow at him. The salesman nodded and Kai slipped a few more gold into his palm, then nodded gratefully and crept back into the shadows.
