Modern Era, Third Era, Aven Era

Mis (the month of the year), 18 Ves (the day of the month) 910 AC (the year).

Mis, 18 Ves 910 AC.

In a sumptuous bedroom where the gentle morning breeze blows through the subtly open windows and lets in the morning rays, an egg is placed on the bed and wrapped in silk in its soft fluffy bed.

Beyond the room, in the corridors.

In the corridors illuminated by the rays of the morning, there is a servant walking quietly to inquire about the condition of the egg, the servant's name is Lucie.

She walks quietly down the hallway, looking carefree, a little bored or tired.

She was still walking then, suddenly, out of nowhere, a coin, a time (equivalent to a cent).

Lucie is surprised _

- [ who still carries around such coinage these days. Is he that poor? No, even an assassin shouldn't be that poor unless he's so poor that he ends up doing assassination? Still, free money is still money]-_

Under this impulse, Lucie slowly bends down, her hand approaches slowly, very gently and suddenly, without making a sound, with surprise, she takes the coin with a disconcerting speed resulting from her experience as an 'ex-thief'.

She stands up but doesn't mouth, she's a little surprised but nothing particular, plus she remains calm.

-Slash-

Blood was therefore splattered on the walls, in one go, splashing without staining, in a dead silence, the silence of his death.

In the corner, a corner without light, the shadow of a rolling head approaches slowly without doing much, just gliding almost calmly and in the light stops it was the hooded head of a man wearing a mask, only his open green eyes not having understood his death were visible. see.

The headless body of the assailant collapses and in the silence of his death and the indifferent grace of the assassin's killer, the only sound was that of his body collapsing to the ground, having lost all life.

Lucie therefore advances with indifference, in all her grace accentuated by the wind which carried her brown hair and giving her a royal grace.

While walking, Lucie suddenly remembers that she must go check if 'she' was safe because it was her duty as a servant, and then she rushes forward, walking quickly, or running perhaps.

She rushes and arrives at her destination, the room where the egg from the beginning was located.

In an instant, suddenly she opens the door but not much, nothing strange at first sight but everything was strange.

Lucie was surprised 😲, she couldn't believe it _[c-c-this kid]

The corpses of the assassins looked more like toys than real beings, horrible toys.

Of the five assassins, three were assembled in a horrible way because apart from their heads remaining intact the rest was an abomination where the members of each were cut off and put back into the wrong bodies like anything, this whole theater looked like chaos but.

But it had a beauty because the shadows, well assembled, gave the projection of a sphinx.

And for the other two, one is in a painting posture, in his right hand he held his skull filled with blood and in his left hand he held a brush placed on a painting on the wall, the tip of the brush being stained with scarlet blood.

His painting was abnormal because he was the last assassin who had come, he had painted him a blood cross, a cross made from the blood of the skull.

Lucie calms down and observes, the egg is no longer there, it is broken and in the bathroom next door, the water is running for one person.

Lucie _ young mistress you are awake, I hope it is not them who disturbed you. _

In the end no one answers the call, Lucie knowing her place does not ask any more questions and even if she was upset by his attitude and curious, she ends up leaving the room which has remained incredibly clean despite the atrocities it contains.

In the bathroom is a ten year old girl

She remembers the fight _

- [ they were still too weak assassins to assassinate such a powerful family, in the end I fulfilled a wish for them. The three guys thought they were artists, artistic geniuses, so I made real works of art out of them. One of the remaining was ready to sacrifice himself so I transformed him into a sacrifice and the last one I made him see the despair in the death of these companions because he believed that there was still hope]

Soon Lucie enters calmly after opening the door, she brings Mademoiselle's breakfast.

To his surprise, Mademoiselle was ready and carrying.

Seeing her, Mademoiselle rushes towards Lucie to have the meal _- Thank you ma'am but I won't stay any longer, Okay-_

Lucie wanted to reply _- why then? After all, your parents are coming soon, I can't let you leave without doing anything-_

Miss _- all the more reason to leave while I can, plus I have something else to do rather than belonging to a 'family', I learned to manage for ten years without them so I could survive even without them, I don't need your compassion or your 'family love'-_
