Summary: Miaki, a waterbender, was raised an assassin in the Northern Water Tribe. Despite her dieing people she is sworn to her duty and to the kill. As murders sweep through the Tribe the chieftain is forced to call upon the skills of the Sasshou, the assassins, to find the culprit. But what happens when she finds out this murderer is someone closer than she expected?
Intro
A life of righteous death. The destiny of Water is intertwined with the body and the soul, who will help lead her to the blood-red moon.
Darkness. That is what surrounds me now. As a child I loved the light. The sun, the clouds, the snow. All agents of light. I now serve darkness. A holy darkness. But darkness nonetheless. I see in it. Feel in it. Breathe in it.
Kill in it.
I am a Sasshou. An assassin. My kind is mostly gone in this world, but each nation still holds our secrets. Our code. But we as a people are dieing.
Earth. Fire. Air. Water. They all held Sasshou. Some of these nations have changed the Sasshou code. Like the Earth Kingdom who now call us Di Lee. Others have wiped us out all together. Like the Air Nomads who state we go against their beliefs of all life being precious. We are slowly dieing.
But some hold our code and try to bring us back.
The Water Tribe, my Tribe, has trained me to be an assassin. My gifts as a bender will aid my kills. I have yet to make a kill though, for I am still learning. My first kill will be fore justice. For we are tools for the chieftain and will be until we cannot perform to our fullest. While we are tools, we are also children. Our mother, our teacher is our true guide. She walks us through life by her Spirit-Words as she helps others with it. She is an oracle to her people. As a young girl of 15 winters, I am but a pup in my Spirit Mothers eyes. But I also am her second in line of the Sasshou. As second in command, I only report to Spirit Mother and our head Sasshou, Akira. Akira, who is a year older than I, is also the chieftain's son. He was hand picked by our Spirit Mother to be a Sasshou, but he was born a prince. One day he will have to choose a life of death or a life of leadership.
I am second in skill but that will quickly change if I don't work to my full potential. I must work myself harder than others because I am a child of the lower class. I, Miaki, must prove to myself and others that I am and will be a Sasshou worthy of the Water Tribe.
Sorry this is incredibly short! ...but the first chapter will be waaaay longer I promise! Reviews please!
