Disclaimer: I don't own RO
I felt the dry air blowing against my skin as I materialized in Morroc.
Even though Morroc is situated in the desert, the mornings and nights were quite nice and cool. It's not what an outsider would expect. But after living here for many years, one would know just how extreme the weather can be. It gets blazing hot during the day when the sun is high in the sky and drops to a near freezing point during some specific nights in the year.
Looking around what seemed to be empty streets bring back memories.
Hmmm…where was that place again…I think it's over there. Better get moving.
I cloaked and walked into one of the near by alleys until I reach the end which was still dark because of the shadows of the surrounding buildings. I turned to face the wall on my left and started to search for a loose brick. I found a scroll hidden behind the loose brick as expected. I took the scroll and placed it into my bag before replacing the brick. I went to the West exit of Morroc before I sat down to read the instructions.
You have until 7 today to get to the Assassin's guild with the following items:
50 Minosours horns
30 immortal hearts
30 Rotten Bandages
If you don't manage to get the items don't even bother showing up at the guild.
…wtf…the pyramids are half an hour west of town…but to go into the pyramids and collect all those items will take well over half a day. On top of that the assassin's guild is so about a half a day walk…in the afternoon it's almost too deadly to walk in the desert. Looks like I can't take any breaks for if I want to make it there in time…I hope my endurance has built up enough over the years.
With that thought I stood up and went to gather some supplies before heading off to the pyramids.
Several hours later in the basement of the pyramids.
Thump thump thump
Hum…another Minosours close by.
I silently walked towards the sound of footsteps and peered around the corner. I gripped my katars tightly, swiftly and silently I moved in towards the Minosours. However it saw me before I was able to strike. I stepped back as it swung its hammer at me. I kept on dodging it's attack waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
I noticed one of its vital points was left open after it had swung it's hammer and hit the wall and I leapt forward to strike. Moving in our deadly dance, I would dodge and strike only to hit the vital areas to deal critical damage. When the Minosours fell to its knees I did one last slice to its throat to guarantee my victory. Seeing the Minosours on lying on the ground I stepped forward to cut off its horn.
Well…that's all of them. Better head towards the guild before I run out of time.
You see, when I was in training to be an assassin, what I lacked in strength I made up for in speed. I was able to dodge better then the others even though I was weaker. To cover up for my weakness, I studied hard. I spent months and months studying the anatomy of all creatures alive. All my studying paid off when I was able to identify and strike the critical spots of my enemies during battle. Even though I was weak, hitting one's critical spots does more damage then attacking anywhere on the body. Now combining my skills with the strength I have gained over the years I have become one of the strongest assassins. This was something I am very proud of, it has taken me a long time to get to this point and I'm finally being recognized for it. I will not fail this test.
With that thought in mind I hurried out of the pyramids towards the town to restock on some supplies and fetch the proper equipment out of my Karfa storage to brace the desert.
it's been a while..i thought i'd finish this...
I didn't think a page will be so short...i'll try to make next one longer
