Kill them.
As one of the Elite, I am only entitled to missions deemed too difficult for the average Assassin. There are currently five Elites: Taranis, Alessa, Aion, Astarte, and myself. Each Elite is partnered up with another, although very few missions require both of them. I am the only exception.
The targets that have been assigned to me are Vincent, Lucien, and Seth. All three are masters of their professions. Vincent is a Whitesmith; it was he who created the Zweihander, the most powerful sword known to man. Lucien is the High Priest who prevented the downfall of the Pronteran Church and almost single-handedly protected the village of Payon when its cave's talismans were broken by the undead monsters within. Seth is an Assassin Cross. He was my partner.
Several months ago, Seth was sent to assassinate Vincent and Lucien. No one, except for the Master, knows why, but this is the nature of all the missions given to the Elite.
I found it extremely odd when, after the second month, I began to worry. Missions given to us usually take a long time. Not only this, but we are known as the Elites because we are the best; we have withstood the trials of time, life, and death, and survived to tell the tale. I had no reason to fret, especially because it was Seth. We first met as thieves in the hot desert town of Morroc. We ended up becoming Assassins together, and eventually became one of the six existing Assassin Crosses - thus becoming an Elite. I knew, more than anyone, the full extent of Seth's abilities, and they were more than enough to deal with a Whitesmith and a High Priest.
However, even with these assurances, I was troubled. I knew that Seth had not died; after all, if an Elite is killed, the kingdom of Rune Midgard rejoices, and announcements are made in every town. And so, I waited.
Another two months passed by, then three, then four. That was when I heard the news: Seth had betrayed the Assassin Guild in favor of joining his very targets, Vincent and Lucien, in obtaining the Jewel of Freya. It didn't make sense; I couldn't understand why Seth had failed.
But that was then. I now know the truth that had been in front of my eyes ever since I had met him. Seth is weak. He always was, and always will be. I was the only one to completely realize this, and that is why the Master chose me for this mission.
The three are currently in Al de Baran, presumably headed towards Rachel, where Freya's Temple is. Unfortunately for them, I have already dropped by…
