Ixion thanked the guard that helped carry the vampire to their destination. The assassin noted that he ached all over from the fall that he had with the Fixer, concluding that he needed to get some form of rest at the Drunken Dove to gather his strength in order for him to get the money that is owed to him and get replacement armour. The journey remained quiet, which gave him the chance to think about the sword and what role the black stones had for the weapon. He thought about how the glow came when the blade came into contact with the vampire’s wooden staff. [i]Perhaps it reacted with natural materials and not man-made?[/i] he initially thought, though that thought was hesitant as he doesn’t recall if the weapon glowed when Blue was in possession of the weapon. After a few minutes of theorizing on what role the stones had with the blade, they arrived at the inn.

Once he walked inside, he first of all kept a detail of everything that was inside the inn, just in case he needed to teleport. During this, he looked at the people who were inside. Apart from a group talking to some merchants and a couple having a few drinks over a conversation, nothing really stood out from the ordinary. That was until his eyes focused in on the figures that were in the far right corner. It wasn’t too had to notice the elephants in the room when everyone in the common room gave them a wide berth. The first figure didn’t give the assassin much details so it made him slightly uneasy at the unknown threat that the figure posed. Their companion, however, appeared to be female, though the blue hair and flaked skin on the right side of her face seemed too unusual. Coincidentally, the two figures turned to the arriving group. Ixion noted the eyes glowing in the light and badges that were on their chests, but he was too far away to determine the details on them. He then looked at the corporal, who too was looking at the figures in the corner. The hand that was used to support the vampire’s side clenched into a fist as he noticed a smile on the man’s face. [i]He knows them,[/i] he concluded. [i]He is up to something.[/i]

[i]"Here we are. Don't leave the city without notifying the Ducal Guard for the next few days, sirs; we may have more questions concerning the murder of this... Blue?"[/i]

The assassin nodded at the corporal, not giving any signs of his suspicions to the man. “I wasn’t planning on leaving the city too soon, seeing as I need to replace my armour which was damaged during the encounter.” He then looked at the vampire, then back at the penin. “Where do we get a room?”
