Chapter 2: The Forsaken Wolves
3 years before the events of FIRE
Well, here I am. The middle of the most dangerous thieves den in Remnant. Getting ready to talk to the leaders of The Forsaken Wolves, offer them my skills.
"Hey, kid" Fenrir walked up to me. Fenrir Hellion was a master assassin, one of the 3 leaders of the group. His grey hair reached his shoulders, framing his scarred face. His grey, bloodshot eyes were always searching for enemies. He turned his gaze upon me now, analysing me, seeing my strengths and weaknesses. "Romulus will see you now" I stood up, and walked into the Top office. Romulus and Remus, the other two leaders, stood inside. The older brother, Romulus, had short brown hair that covered his eye on one side. He didn't need that eye anyway, since it was blinded in a fight. He had the kind face of a successful and confident business man, or thief, depended on how you look at it. The other brother, Remus, had bright red hair that was cut very short, and a matching goatee framing his treacherous smile.
"Ah, Lucas Hyde! The man of the day, come, sit down." Romulus said, gesturing to an antique chair next to him. I sat down. "You're here to offer your Assassin skills? Good, Fenrir will be pleased, well, he most likely is already, since he got a good look at you before you came in"
"Alright, cool, does that mean I'm in?" I asked nervously
"Obviously" Remus said "Otherwise we wouldn't have let you in here!"
"Now, go talk to Fenrir, he'll get you started. You've got a big career in front of you kid" Romulus said, raising his glass as I left. I closed the door behind me, and walked back into the waiting room. Fenrir was leaning against the wall, talking to a girl.
"Hey, Lucas isn't it?" Fenrir growled at me "Assassin?"
"Yeah, Romulus told me to…" I began
"Yeah, yeah, kill well, don't die. This is Raksha, your new partner" He gestured at the girl "Have fun" He walked away to join the Brothers.
Raksha was about the same height as me, and quite thin. Her brown hair fell down one side of her face, around one of her two blue eyes. She wore a black armoured hoodie with a Forsaken Wolves logo on the back.
"You ready?" She asked, unsheathing two katanas.
"For what?" I asked
"Training!" She said, throwing me one of the swords. Before leaping forwards with hers. I only just had enough time to block.
"Hey! Watch it!" I yelled, pushing her away
"Good reflexes…" She said "We'll get you a weapon…"
"No thanks, I'll manage" I let my chain slip down my sleeve, revealing the blade on its end
"Hmm, seems that you will" She smiled at me, before walking away. I smiled back.
