When Shadow heard the footsteps he quickly vanished out of the mansion and waited outside for the prince and Hildebrand to come out for he wanted to respect them on this and also did not want to have broken trust between the two. He waited patiently but he felt things were off and as Raven always told him to trust his gut. As he waited a bit Amy and Andy appeared in thier clothes and masks. “Shadow you ok you look on edge?” Andy asked as he took his mask off along with Amy. “Yes you never normally look this tense unless you have a bad feeling.” AMy said as she held her scarlet rose mask and Shadow looked at them. “I might need to leave the prince and Hildebrand with you guys and I want you to send Scott here also I got a feeling this household might get targeted by the Red Robin.” Shadow said and they both looked shocked. “Are you positive?” Andy asked and Shadow looked worried. “Honestly I hope I am wrong but I want to keep them safe they are on Eliezer’s side and I want the prince and I know Raven wants the same to have Eliezer have more allies then enemies.” Shadow said. “And also it was Raven that taught us to follow our gut and follow the lead it gives us even if it is wrong for it is better to observe and make sure then to ignore it and something bad happens.” Shadow explained and they both nodded. Soon they heard foot steps and saw the prince and Hildebrand approach them. “Prince Eliezer please forgive me but I will no longer be accompanying you I will be staying behind so My sister Amy also known as the assassin Scarlet Rose and Andy you already know as Night Owl will be escorting you through the festival.” Shadow explained. “But why the sudden need to stay?” Hildebrand asked. “A gut feeling and as my sister Raven always said better to follow the lead you gut gives and observe to make sure it is wrong then to ignore it and then it be right and something bad will happen and I got a feeling that Lady Nemes might be getting unwanted visitors tonight so I am going to stay and make sure she and her family will remain safe I am having them send me other brother Scott to help me scout and keep an eye on this.” Shadow explained and Amy walked over dressed in deep red corset, pants and knee heel boots along with a hooded cape. “Do not worry with Shadow and Scott watching them the Nemes family will remain safe.” She said to them as she moved her braided blond hair behind her. “But we should get going Ravens dance will start soon.” Amy said as she and Andy put their masks back on and lead the way as Shadow stayed behind. [hr] Amy and Andy lead them into the main village square that was lite up with lights, decoration and much more and in the middle was the area Raven was going to be dancing in. Music was being played and people were mingling, dancing, and also eating snacks that was being prepared for the festival. “As lively as usual.” Andy said and Amy made a small giggle as they walked and helped Eliezer and Hildebrand through the crowd “That is true but it will soon become quest once it is time for Raven to take center stage in another one of my designs.” AMy siad happily. “After you screamed and yelled at her saying you would never make her another outfit after she returned from her last date in torn clothes and cutting her hair even shorter along with leaving the shoes behind.” Andy said and Amy smacked him hard and pointed at Eliezer meaning not the best time to bring that info up. Andy only sighed and apologized and they continued to show them around and even got them something to snack on. “Man how much longer till she dances I am tired of waiting?” Andy said for he hated waiting and also being a babysitter. “Oh relax I am sure she is nervous and that is why it is delayed a bit just relax already.” Amy said with a smile and soon the music stopped and everyone looked at the middle of the area where the dance was going to take place and the soon a an in a mask that had a start design walked out. “Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the celestial festival a time were the stars and moon shines at its brightest to bless those for soon the days will grow shorter and the nights will become long so we hold this festival every year to recited the moonlight blessing thanks and to gain it we choose one lucky girl to do the dance in hopes to gain the blessing of the celestial night and now without further a-due I give you Raven Omre and her dance.” He said as he stepped to the side and Raven walked out and everyone was in aww with what she wore. Raven stood in the middle of the dance floor [url=https://i.redd.it/kx9637bv4tqz.png] she wear a unique black outfit that none that had ever been seen.[/url] She then looked up and and took a deep breath in as the [url=https://youtu.be/do5NTPLMqXQ]music soon started to play[/url] and soon started to move gracefully as before the first few notes of the song left her lips. [i]”You are the ocean's gray waves Destined to seek Life beyond the shore Just out of reach Yet the waters ever change Flowing like time The path is yours to climb[/i] She sang as she dance in sync with her song and foot movements showed nothing but grace as she danced even with her hand movements. [i]In the white light A hand reaches through A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two Waking dreams fade away Embrace the brand new day Sing with me a song Of birthrights and love The light scatters to the sky above Dawn breaks through the gloom White as a bone Lost in thoughts, all alone”[/i] As she sang she used the whole stage space to dance and got close to some people ad not knowing it she had made her way in font of Eliezer. [i]Life is not just filled with happiness Nor sorrow Even the thorn in your heart In time it may become A rose[/i] She sang and the tone and emotion could be hear through her voice and soon danced away from Eliezer and was in the middle again doing her dance. The HEr emotions and voice grew as her son went on. [i]Sing with me a song Of silence and blood The rain falls but Can't wash away the mud Within my ancient heart dwells madness and pride Can no one hear my cry? You are the ocean's gray waves Destined to seek life beyond the shore Just out of reach Yet the waters ever change Flowing like time The path is yours to climb You are the ocean's gray waves[/i] Before the song had even ended many could tell the moon had looked like it was shining brighter then normal which shocked some of the people but soon watched her end the dance and was in the middle on the floors on her knees and head down. Soon all the villagers clapped and cheered for her and she did a small weak smile for she was exhausted a bit and got u and started to walk away. “Let’s get her.” Andy said with a smile as they lead Eliezer and Hildebrand to where Raven was going which was to be alone and catch her breath a bit more. “Now is your chance Eliezer she will not run away for she is tired and do not worry we will keep the villagers away from you guys.” Amy said with a smile and gave the prince a gentle push towards Raven. [hr] Shadow was now glad he stayed behind and had Shadow with him for he had just witness what happened to Lady Nemes and Scott went off and used his traps to smoke bombs to disorient the goones before killing them but had unfortunately lost sight of the Red Robin. Shadow soon walked out from his hiding place and held his hand out to her. “Please do not cry everything will be fine and do no listen to her she is working for Mathazar she is on mine and a few other assassins hit list right now for all the trouble she has caused so far.” He said as he helped her back up and took a handkerchief and wiped her tears with them. “LOok do not do as she says and I promise nothing will happen to your family for one even if she threatens you she is holding a big risk of exposing herself for last I checked for who she really is she is suppose to be at the palace doing her duties not out here doing this and two its a lowly servant girls word over a nobles word after all all you have to mention is Mathazar has done the same thing.” Shadow explained. “Also you can help us also we are helping Eleizer take his brother done for the one that is trying to stop us is the leader of out assassin gang is my sister moon raven the first assassin to break the assassins code to Dow hat is right though I can not say what it is for now it must be kept secret.” Soon Scott came in with his mask on still. “Sorry shadow I got the goones and the ones that attacked me but it allowed the Red Robin to escape.” He said. “Its ok Sparrow at least we are wearing her defenses and two those goones are based off greed Mathazar will not keep giving her money to pay them off for their services forever.” Shadow said before looking at Lady Nemes and bowed before her. “You should’ve be safe now my lady and if you ever need me just send a letter to Eleizer for I am serving as a bodyguard for him from the shadows.” He said and walked to Scott. “Your traps set?” He asked and Scott nodded. Shadow then looked at Lad Nemes with a smile before he and Scott jumped ou the balcony and vanished themselves
