Walking outside the Empress bowed to at the feet of a figure of a man in black. He was truly a force of intimidation. His hair was held up in a bun with only a few loose strands of hair falling at his face. His pale complexion was frightening and on his cheek was the same scar as the empress's servant.
"There is no need to bow down to me. Get up."
" Yes my lord Kai."
"Where is the child?"
"My lord", Aidan interrupted "she is still a small child and...."
"Silence you fool," the empress hissed through her teeth.
"But...."
Kai looked at the two and simply walked to the castle. Reaching the great doors of the old castle, he walked inside. There everyone stood and looked with fear in their eyes. An assassin of the divine order here in the palace. Why? He walked up to on of the servants and simply stood there.
" I am Kai last of the Brunnen G and Chief assassin of his divine shadow. I am looking for a child. You will show me where she is."
" My lord there are many children in the castle. Whom are you specifically looking for?"
" A small child"
" He's looking for Sindel," the empress appeared behind him.
" Oh yes my lady I will get her"
Looking at Kai the empress was both in awe and in fear for her daughter. This man was now one of the most feared men in the cluster and he would now be Sindel's trainer. This great honor was bestowed upon the empress's name and family.
"My lord I ask of you to be gentle with my daughter she is still very innocent"
" She will learn that innocence is nothing to and assassin's apprentice," he replied looking at her.
" Yes my lord I understand but she is only 5 summer's old she may not understand."
" She will learn."
In the nursery, Aidan managed to get to Sindel. He looked at this child and began to feel his heart ache. He had grown accustomed to her and it saddened him that she would leave his presence.
"Sindel child come here so I may speak to you."
"Yes," the little girl bounded up in to his arms.
" Sindel you know I care for you right?"
"I know Aidan ...why are you sad?"
"Well I won't be with you anymore to care for you my dear"
"Why?"
"Well.... because.... now you will become a very honorable person soon and you can't have a nurse to care for you."
"Oh," she replied not understanding what he was saying.
Sindel wiped a tear she felt forming.
"So what happened after that?", Stan asked.
" Well I left my home."
Kai stood and watched Sindel tell her tale. Not hearing him come in they both jumped.
"Oh....Kai... didn't see you come in," Stan managed to get out.
Kai just looked at them as if he were trying to make sense of the tale Sindel had just told. Sindel on the other had just looked at the assassin with hate filled eyes. She quietly got up and left the bridge leaving Stan and Kai alone.
"Ok What was that all about?" he asked.
"I believe she still resents me" Kai replied.
"So you two do know each other?"
"We did once, but in my memories I can only recall certain events leading to her hatred."
"Oh."
"There is no need to bow down to me. Get up."
" Yes my lord Kai."
"Where is the child?"
"My lord", Aidan interrupted "she is still a small child and...."
