Ok, back from about a two year break. Been busy etc. But I haven't forgot the forgotten realms so I think I might give it a go, nothing drastic now, just something to get started with. Truth to tell, I have somewhat forgotten about some plots I had in mind when I started, but the main idea should be still in my head. And yes, the plot does not follow any of Salvatores books that much, but I hope that doesn't matter. And the standard, disclaimer, I do not own the 'known' characters and I am not trying to make profit by using the characters in this fanfic..
Chapter 5: What now?

Pasha Basadoni was having a guild meeting in his luxurious private chambers. There were only few people who had the opportunity to visit these rooms of the Basadoni guild house and all of them were present at the moment, except for the cleaners of course. Val Arnelan, the guild wizard, was holding a golden goblet and tasting his wine with not too much enthusiasm. Basadoni had also requested the presence of his two lieutnants, Elyan and Anile.

Elyan was a thin man in his mid thirties with a presence that was easily ignored, his only weapon was a dagger, he was not a man that had to know how to fight, his true weapon was his sharp mind. Most who met him hardly paid any attention to this man, who was propably the best man in whole Calimport to gather information. Basadoni understood his value and held him in high regard. Elyan had surprisingly blond hair for a man that was born and raised in Calimport, since majority of habitants had darker hair and skin. Elyan had used his information network and even visited the place, where Enteri's first assignment took place. He had just finished his briefing and was waiting for response from Basadoni.

On the other hand, Anile was completely different. She was beutiful and knew it. Her outfit was always one that paid attention and everyone remembered her for weeks after they met her. Anile was the prime assassin of the guild and one of the best in whole Calimshan. A female assassin was not as common as a male, but it was not unheard of, many of the female assassins of Calimport used different methods in order to finish their assignments though. Anile wanted her killings to be personal and with few exceptions she battled her preys one on one. She carried an enchanted short sword and an old long sword, also magical.

"He killed all of them?" Basadoni asked somewhat surprised.

"Well, not the two on the gate", Elyan said. "But all the others are dead, also the mage is dead and the book is returned."

"But he defeated so many man, how could he have pulled it of?", Basadoni pressed. He had high hopes for Artemis, but this was not something he had thought of. Perhaps he had no true knowledge of this young man after all.

"It is not that odd", Anile stated. "The men he killed were poorly trained and not used to fighting, recent requits. There are at least a dozen man in this city alone, who could have bested them. And few females too", she added with a short smile and continued.

"Actually, the task was not a complete success, he was not unnoticed, even if no-one outside this room knows who the killer was. He had luck that the captain was at gate, since he was the only capable fighter in the whole mansion. But he survived, many talented assassins have been killed in their first assignment. Surviving is what matters at the end. And the task."

"Indeed", Basadoni said and tasted his wine. "What suggestions do you have?" he continued without explaining his words, everyone understood who he was referring to.

"Well, he is a natural assassin.", Elyan said. "But that doesn't mean he is ready. We could keep him as our second-in-line assassin, he is skilled enough. But I think we should let Anile train him, she is the most obvious choice, since she is the only member of our guild who is skilled enough. And more importantly, since Artemis uses two blades, we should let him train with someone who can fight the same way."

"It would be interesting", Anile said to Basadoni's surprise. Basadoni knew that Anile was an amazing fighter, but he had expected that she wouldn't have been that interested to teach someone. Anile read the question on her pashas face. "I could need a challenge", was all she said.

"Then it is settled, no new assignments for our young man. For now at least.", Basadoni said. "Anile, you know your task, so this meeting is at end."

"I expect reports of his progress of course", Basadoni added as he ended the guild meeting.

Ok, as I said only short text to re-start with. If there are some trouble with my English (big mistakes mainly) please let me know, since I haven't actually written in English for a while
