Greetings Fanfiction, its me Revan, here with the next chapter for ya
Hope you all are enjoying it so far. And if anyone is interested in what story this one will cross over into, its Phoenix Crest from my good friend Ig From The North, you should go start giving it a read
Anywho, on to Chapter two!
"Alright, I've got two big cans of whoop ass, so calm down because there's plenty for everyone!"
-Rain, head Dragoon
"so as you've probably gathered, the inquisition is the stealth branch of the Nightingales" Evangeline said as she looked back to Zeke
"yeah, looks like it" he responded
"We specialize in two distinct methods of operation" Evangeline said "information extraction, and assassination. And my agents are very good at these"
"wait hold on" Zeke said "you do assassinations?"
"of course" Evangeline nodded "often times the only way to remove a problem is to remove the source entirely. Therefore assassinations are needed, the inquisitions handles such matters"
Nearby, two cloaked figures walked over, both simply walking out of the shadows
"ah, there you are" Evangeline said as she noticed the two "Zeke, this is Trenton and Ellen, my top assassins"
The two people removed the hoods from their cloaks. The one on the left was a man, about 5'8, with short black hair and hazel eyes, his skin was pale, but not quite so as Evangeline's. He wore black jeans, black boots, a black shirt, and a black cloak. Strapped all around him though, were throwing daggers
His face was mostly blank but he nodded slightly to Zeke in silence
The right figure was more interesting it turned out. She was about 5'5 with long purple hair that went past her shoulders, and her eyes were a dark blue. The fascinating thing though, was her dark blue skin and pointed ears, marking her as, what Zeke was assuming, an elf. More specifically a dark elf. She wore skin tight black pants, a black Short sleeved top that left her stomach bare and held a sizable bust, and a purple cloak. Over her shoulder was a bow and a quiver full of arrows
"Charmed" She said once
"they don't speak very much, except to eachother of course" Evangeline said "they both use invisibility magic, Trenton can go even further as to remove his odor and any sound he makes, and Ellen uses telepathy. Which allows them to talk telepathically or for her to exert a small amount of control over others" she explained "together, they are the most Silent and Deadly pair in the whole of Nightingale"
Zeke stared at the two "and you're a-"
"night elf, yes" Ellen finished "my tale is long and not for ears such as yours human" she said simply
"oh, sorry then" Zeke said in slight surprise, most had been fairly open to him so far, but these two seemed to be very closed off
"don't take it personally, she doesn't really like most humans, and speaks to few people, she has only told her story to three people here" Evangeline said as the silent duo walked off. Zeke couldn't help but notice how they never strayed more than a foot away from eachother
"now then" The vampires said "lets go to the mead hall"
"the mead hall?" Zeke questioned
"youll see" Evangeline said as she led him through a series of halls, back into the main entryway, and through a set of double doors "much how The Inquisition is the stealth branch of Nightingale, this is the heavy duty enforcing branch" she explained as they walked through the doos
What Zeke saw made him frown
The room theyd entered was huge, like a highschool gym huge. And it was well lit, especially compared to the rest of the manor. On the back wall was a bar and plenty of stools, with tables by it. Off to the left were a set of stairs leading to what appeared to be individual rooms. And the rest of the room was occupied by several spring rings. At the front of all the rings was a group of people watching a fight in progress
As Zeke and Evangeline made their way to the people, Zeke could hear the cheers of the spectators "these, are the Dragoons" Evangeline spoke up "the Nightingale army, enforcers, guards, and all around powerhouses" she explained as they stepped up to the other people, the spectators parted to allow them to get closer when they saw Evangeline
In the ring was a woman, she appeared to be eastern in nationality and had on a set of leather armored robes and held a saber of some kind in her hands, her hair was a black color with some red as well, she was currently fighting a man in a pure white kimono and brown sandals who had long white hair tied into a topknot who wielded a black steel katana
"ah look who left her crypt" Said a voice to Zeke's left, he took his eyes of the swordfighters to see who it was and was greeted by a man with short spiky blonde hair, a black trench coat and a brown messenger bag. On his shoulder was an exceed with black and white stripped fur who had a keg on his back
"Lee, Trent" Evangeline nodded "this is Zeke, the new recruit, Jason wanted me to bring him here once I was finished with him"
"you didnt turn him did you?" The exceed asked "he seems pale"
"Trent im sure she wouldn't do that unless the boy said it was ok" The man, presumably Lee, said
"im still human" Zeke said stupidly
"well, thank goodness for that" The exceed said
"I shall leave him in your care then alchemist" The vampiress said and nodded before leaving
Zeke turned to face the man and exceed "so… are you the leader of these guys?"
"no, that would be me" Growled a voice behind him, Zeke turned and saw a large black panther staring at him from a foot away
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand break! That's going to be Chapter 2, I hoped everyone liked it. Im working on the next chapter already so you can hope to see it up hopefully in a week, maybe sooner
If you haven't guessed it yet, theres going to be a decent amount of non-humans in Nightingale, because I like non-humans and everyone should be allowed to fight the good fight
Anyway, leave a review and ill confer with my Plot Hamsters as to what to do next, until then I bid you adieu
