The Chains of Emotion
Ch.1 The undesired assasin
The rain poured as the Duke of the surrounding land was cowering in his study. word had gotten out that he was sending men to kill the locals so he could give the land as a bribe so he could be located in a better area. the people had gathered enough gold to hire an assasin. He decided to read a book to calm his nerves. he baorded the windows and only door. Hoping it was enough he sat down and opened his book... and jumped. A curved blade was sticking out right beside where his head was resting. the blade withdrew into the chair and from behind the chair was a man in his mid 20s. His brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. his dark green eyes stared at the duke uncaring. a curved blade connected to a circular device on the assasin's right arm was pointed outward away from the assasin. everything else was covered by a dark gray cloak. The duke was drawing a dagger straped to the side of his leg when he was pinned to the floor by the right foot of the assasin. Before the duke's eye's the assasin's blade was raised over the duke's head.
using his strength the assasin pierced the dukes skull. The assasin got up and headed to the window. with one punch he broke the boards. he was mad. his target like all his past jobs was boring. He had enough if he didn't find a good fighter soon he would go mad. then he noticed what his target was reading. the book was called the sword of salvation. the assasin picked up the book and smiled 'This was very interesting.' the assasin thought. 'A sword that attracted the greatest warriors even to this day. maybe this job was worth taking.'
Sorry the first chapter was short. I'll try to make them longer. the time this story takes place iis during the beginning of SC2 but will continue after SC3.
