The Job af the Assassin and Life of the Prince

"You have heard the proof yourselves. It matters not how dangerous she might be, your esteemed Moon Raven is no longer your ally. By protecting a member of the Dainian royal family, she has betrayed you and your kingdom. Do what you will with this newfound information."

The words of the Red Robin echoed in the minds of the Lunarian assassins she had recruited for the convoy attack as they cautiously made their way towards the orphanage to carry out an organized attack on Raven and her companions. Thanks to the information provided by the Red Robin's spies, they knew that they were in for quite a battle as she was no longer alone. It was the middle of the night, and if anyone inside the establishment were to be on watch and spot the attackers as they approached, they were in for an unexpected occurrence right before both parties would engage each other. However, if all inside were asleep, the sounds of said occurrence would likely wake them.

Just as the group of Lunarian assassins were about to break in, they were intercepted by Dainian troops. A short scuffle took place around the orphanage before the soldiers managed to restrain the aggressors and take them away. A couple of guards lingered to search for any remaining assassins that might still be hiding, and then checked the orphanage to ensure that all was well before leaving.

Back at the palace, the soldiers reported the incident to Mathazar, who had his maid by his side. The prince dismissed them and waited until they were out of the room before angrily turning to Robynne.

"Tell me this is not your doing!"

Robynne gave him a hurt and confused gaze. "I- I don't understand, my prince. I thought you wanted the Moon Raven either captured or dead."

"By having a scrimmage break out in the village while Dainia is left under my supervision?"

"This is your brother's doing, not yours, Your Highness. If the people find out that this happened because Prince Eliezer is fraternizing with a Lunarian assassin, it would be his reputation that would be tarnished and not yours."

"Unlike the diligent and honest people of the village, the scum of Gloomvale do not have the respect of those from other districts. My brother is greatly admired by our people, and nobody would doubt his integrity just because of the words of some Gloomvale rogues."

Robynne started to wear her most guilty-looking face. "Forgive me for not thinking in such a way, Your Highness, but just know that everything that I have done, I have done for you, and shall continue to do so."

Mathazer knew better to be taken in by her act, but he decided to play along regardless. "But of course, my sweet lady. Fret not, as you have mentioned ruining the reputation of Prince Eliezer, it has occurred to me that we still have that option. However, we shall have to wait for my dear brother to return to carry such a plan out."

The Safe Haven - Revival (Closed)

@Luckless Heyo! Yeah, this is still going on, and we can probably take a couple more at this point. A lot of the OOC communication takes place on the Discord channel, though anything important is also announced here for non-Discord users. As you have observed, we've kind of taken a break before the last couple of posts. We're pretty inconsistent in general, so if that's your thing, feel free to hop on board. That being said, if a player's going to vanish for more than two weeks, a notice in the OOC, Discord or profile status would be appreciated.

Pair of Hunters

It would seem that the news had gone through many before reaching the huntress, as evident from the exaggeration of the severity of the incident. Upon arriving at the farm, she had observed the minimal damage that had been inflicted on the property - not at all like the picture she had painted in her mind with reference to the stories of individuals who resided nowhere close to this place. However, her visit proved not to be in vain, for after some investigation around the property and communication with its residents, there was sufficient evidence to concluded that there truly had been something strange at this very place the night before.

The shape and size of the creature's tracks gave away what it actually was. So, this was one part of the story that remained true as it was passed across Lightstal - the predator that had been spoken of really was a werewolf. It was no secret that the town had a shortage of hunters to patrol its borders, and the section that allowed access into the town from the forest via the farm must have been left unguarded the night before for a werewolf to have made it in. Regardless, she was rather relieved that there had been no casualties, hunter or not. Having narrowly escaped one on her last adventure out into the forest, she wondered what the one that had been on this farm would have done if it had come across a human.

Rather, she had spared it when she could have easily ended it. Could it be? No, it would be too much of a coincidence for it to have been the same one, would it not? There was a chance that she could find out this night, that is, if the same creature were to return for another meal. With all the livestock kept hidden from view, she would pull in a couple of her teammates to wait it out with her on the farm once night fell again. They would have a sack of meat with them to use as bait, and if whatever would appear did not attack them, they would follow it to hopefully discover its hideout, as well as any companions it might reside with.
