Prologue:
The Elemental Master War. Such a large war, that it involved more treachery, more deaths, and more Masters. Not more Elemental Masters, as they dominated the playing field more than a single group should, but Weapon Masters. Weapon Masters were such an ambiguous group, that they never went by their given name, instead choosing to be commanded by coded names. Such Masters were skilled in more areas than they could be credited for. They were mostly known for their stealth, the ability to slip into an enemy base camp without alerting a single guard, on duty or otherwise. Other abilities were numerous, but equally essential in the War. This made them of high demand between the two Elemental groups. Especially two in particular.
They worked alone well enough, but together they were stronger. The duo had the habit of completing secret missions much faster and better than any other group of Weapon Masters. The two in question were Bansha, the Blade Master, and Soul Archer, the Bow Master. Bansha, like her code name called for, was capable of emitting a high pitched shriek in various frequencies. She was also an adept sorceress, however, she used her magic mostly to defend, not attack. Like her title claimed, she was an expert in wielding all types of blades, especially her specially crafted double-ended one. Soul Archer possessed a bow and a quiver of arrows. His eyes were keener than most and allowed him to hit most of what he aimed at. It also allowed him to spot enemy forces long before anyone else saw them approach.
These two Weapon Masters, upon recruited into the War, were assigned to the Master of Wind's division. Their first mission: infiltrate the opposing side's campsite and find and kill their newest Weapon Master recruit.
