Chapter Three
Author's Note: I hope you like it, 'cause its gonna get better.
I holstered my weapon and stepped out of the foliage. I looked up.
A kafit bird was swooping down towards me.
Mission accomplished, I told the bird.
You superiors will be with you in a moment, the bird told me and flew off.
Moments later five Andalites arrived. As you might have guessed, this whole thing had been a test. Hence, I did not have the claim of ending Councilor One's life. The five and Andalites included the morphed kafit bird, the three Hork-Bajir guards and Councilor One.
Well done! A marvelous shot! said Professor Allith-Elivat-Esth, my personal tutor, who had played Councilor One.
Splendid, nodded one of the others.
Does this mean I have passed? I asked eagerly. If I did well in this test, I could have further training and actually become a professional.
Yes, said Allith. Er... I also have some news to inform you of.
He took me away from the others. We trotted along, feeding as we traveled back to the main teaching grounds.
Ettex, well, you see, you don't need any further training. You can become an assassin right now. I already have a job for you, if you agree.
I nearly fell over. WHAT? But... why?
Allith looked at me solemnly. Ettex, you are the brightest, most eager, most efficient student I have ever taught. I wouldn't have believed it possible for someone your age to come so far. But you have. The War Council agrees that you may have the talent.
I looked at Allith. He used to be a councilor of the War Council. He still had a lot of influence over them.
So... I can do this?
Yes. Straightaway. If you feel you are ready.
I thought Allith was crazy. Nothing could make me turn this down.
