*Been a while, but I'm back for a chapter. Hope you enjoy! :D*
Jhin (walking towards the house normally): "There's our target, seems like nobody is around."
Jhin walked up to the house and examined the lock. It appeared to be a lock that cannot be picked with a lockpick and required a key to enter.
*"This lock cannot be picked, you need a key."*
Jhin (going around the house and finding a cellar door at the back of the house): "Please tell me...(Jhin was able to pick the lock)...capital!"
*"Don't know how much a cellar is going to provide us with, but you do know we cannot get into the house from there since he probably locked the door leading out of the cellar."*
Jhin: "Do not underestimate cellars, my friend. They can hold valuable information."
*"Lead the way, because I certainly can't."
Jhin walked down a few steps until finding a nearby lamp. There was a match next to it, so Jhin lit it up and discovered some nasty things.
*"Holy balls."*
Jhin: "Yeah, same."
The cellar had a torture device in it with recent blood marks on it, there were several cuffs and chains around, there was a desk with a whole lot of torture tools on it and there was plenty of nearby barrels containing food and water supplies to keep the torture victims alive.
*"I didn't expect we would find this, quick, let's get the guards in here."*
Jhin: "Wait, we are tasked to kill this man, so if he ends up in a maximum security prison he will be unreachable. We need to figure out how to kill him ourselves before the guards get involved."
*"Fair. So do we wait for him to get back to the village?"*
Jhin: "I think we should. If we find a way to ambush him at the chapel he should be an easy kill. Now, let's get out of here."
Jhin put the lamp out and placed it where he found it. He also replaced the match that didn't work anymore with a new one from his bag and left the cellar. He didn't want anyone to discover something was off.
*"So, he's coming back tonight. Maybe we should sneak into the chapel and wait for him there?"*
Jhin: "If he is in the inn from time to time he would most likely want to celebrate his recent trip. He could stay at the inn and then go to his house to rest, or maybe play with a few victims. Tough call."
*"You could be wrong with this. I honestly am not sure what we should do."*
Jhin (after a bit of a long pause): "I think the best thing would be to head to the chapel when we know he is there and there we act like we want to pray and be purified at the chapel. That way he has to bless us himself which gives us a moment to assassinate."
*"Good plan, should we stay at the inn?"*
Jhin: "Yes, let's book a room immediately."
Jhin rushed back to the inn and walked up to the innkeeper once again.
Jhin: "I decided to take the offer of the bed you have available, sir."
Innkeeper: "Ah, of course. That would be 15 gold."
Jhin (handing him one gold and one silver coin): "Here you are, full fee."
Innkeeper: "Thank you, go up the stairs and it's the third door to the right."
Jhin (with a small bow): "I appreciate your services, sir."
The creaking stairs could be heard as a tall figure was walking down them.
It appeared to be a human most likely hailing from Demacia. Jhin sank his head into the floor and avoided eye contact while climbing the stairs. He had to walk past the figure who was staring at him like a baby lamb at a rainbow door. Jhin hurried into the hallway at the top of the stairs and took a right turn. He started to walk down a long hallway.
*"What's what guy's problem?"*
Jhin: "I'm pretty certain that's a guard that was there when I saved that woman from the mugger back in Demacia. That's why I avoided eye contact."
*"We need this face changing spell fast."*
Jhin: "I'll ask Kindred if they know where I can learn a spell like that. After we finish this contract, of course."
Jhin found the room he paid for and entered. He took the key out of his pocket and locked the door behind him. He placed the key into his bag. He decided to keep the key to himself.
*"Just in case, huh?"*
Jhin: "Just in case."
Jhin laid down onto his bed and decided to take a rest.
*"Rest time? Alright, I won't bother you. Night."*
Jhin: "Night."
Jhin was woken up by a sudden commotion outside. He got up from his bed and looked out the window. A few guards were harassing a young looking dark elf.
Dark elf (the dark elf has a beer mug in his hand and he's moving weirdly, he's definitely drunk): "Fools! What...do you think you are doing...you stupid bastards..!"
Guard 1: "Sir, threatening a guard is considered a fine, pay your gold or we haul you off to jail."
Dark elf: "You already took...everything from me...move out of my way, I'm heading to my house."
Guard 1: "Sir, we have seized your house already, that property belongs to the Count now."
Dark elf: "Get out of my way...move I said! Don't make put the...hurt on you."
Guard 1: (whispering to the second guard): "This isn't working. Do we arrest him?"
Guard 2: (whispering back): "That seems like the right thing to do. (out loud) Sir, you are under arrest for threatening to harm the guards, come with us."
Dark elf: (pulls out his dagger): "I warned you!"
The dark elf ran towards the guards and tried to stab them, but the first guard quickly slashed the dark elf's neck, killing him instantly.
Guard 2: "Sharp moves. Alright, citizens, we'll clean this out, no need to worry."
*"What was that all about?"*
Jhin: "Seems like a dark elf, you don't see a lot of those around. We could ask Kindred about this."
*"Good point, let's head to the chapel, Darma should in there already."*
Jhin: "Let me pick up my things and we're off."
Jhin took his bags, walked out of the room and locked the door. He took a long breather before entering the main floor of the inn. There were several heard conversations that talked about the dark elf incident and some of the random sights around the village. Jhin walked out of the inn and sighed out of relief. There were no guards in the inn and he went to the chapel. He opened the large door and entered. He recognized Darma as he was the only person in there. Darma was standing near a confessional.
Jhin: "He matches the description, alright, let's do this."
*"Careful, he is a torturer after all."*
Jhin walked up to the confessional, sat down and patiently waited.
Father Darma sat down at the opposite side.
Darma: "What is it that troubles you, child?"
Jhin: "I have committed sins, Father."
Darma: "I am here, confess your sins to the Lord and we will hear you."
Jhin (cracks his knuckles mentally, also thinking): "Here we go."
*"Good luck."*
As Jhin was confessing his sins, Darma's face was starting to get more and more frightened. Jhin just kept going and going. He never seemed like he was gonna stop. Finally, he came strong with the finale.
Jhin: "...and finally, Father."
Jhin had a long pause.
Darma (after a bit of time): "What is it, child?"
Jhin looked down, put his mask on, slowly turned his head towards Darma, deliberately pointed Whisper at his face and started humming.
Jhin: "Father, my show had only just begone, and yours seems to have come to an end."
Darma suddenly turned his head towards Jhin and his eyes widened as Jhin pulled the trigger, the warmest feeling coursed through Jhin's veins as the imaginary rose pedals came out of his gun. His mask suddenly became full of drops of blood. He stood up, shook off the feeling, took Darma's necklace and fled the scene. He took off his mask while going outside and he snuck out of the village the same way he came. The guards didn't suspect a thing.
*"What a glorious kill. I'm very impressed."*
Jhin: "My work requires...perfection. I must be perfect in it."
Xar became quiet and patiently waited for Jhin to return to the Mark Of Death lair to receive his reward and his well-earned bonus. He felt transcended, almost as if he was born again. This was something Jhin really wanted in his life.
*End of chapter 7.
This assassination felt really good to write, and I hope I make more quality chapters like this. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading! :D*
