Noir: A Perfect Blade
Chapter 5: Shattered (Epilogue and Author's Notes)
Altena carried a three pronged candle into the depths of the Manor. The time of Le Grand Retour was at hand. Suddenly and unexpectedly one of the flames died. The priestess looked thoughtfully at the smoke rising from the wick. Several minutes passed and she frowned. "If love can kill, then surely hatred can save." Her hand trembled for a moment and some of the melted wax fell to the floor. Regaining her composure, Altena continued alone into the dark.
-=-=-=-Author's Notes-=-=-=-
While this isn't my first attempt at writing fan-fiction, it's the first time I've finished a project. I knew since watching episodes 10-12 of Noir that I wanted to write a story about Chloe before her meeting with Kirika and Mereille in episode 10. My first instinct was to write a series of "assassination missions" similar to the format of episode 12. The infamous terrorist leader became an obvious target. But trying to keep sucessive chapters interesting was too difficult. So I needed another idea.
After watching "The Hunted" I got the idea for this story. It's a movie about military asassins. A major scene in the movie focused on how the asassins made their daggers from scratch. This process of making a dagger ended up forming the structure of "A Perfect Blade." I thought it was a great idea for telling a story of how Chloe came to be.
Thanks for reading this far. I hope you enjoyed "A Perfect Blade." Please give me feedback. I realize the chapters are short, but decided that it was more important to get the story out than to wait for inspiration that might never come.
