Thanks to:
-Vita-de-Incendia- : thx for telling me, I think I went the other way with this chapter
Rainchecker : I like to reply to reviews but I couldn't with urs as for what u said; maybe u'll just have to see.
Saryna : I'm slightly worried that I can't meet ur expectations but I'll try, as for ExA, I can't write romance and this story doesn't focus on romance
: big thx for being the first person to review assassin's bond, I can't answer how I'd want to as I'd ruin the mystery, nut expect the unexpected.
Enough of my ramblings here's chapter two.
Chapter two
feinster, assassin's guild diplomatic envoy
the guards stood to attention, not one of them moving, apart from breathing and blinking, as well as conserving energy, it also, combined with the black partial armour that covered their stomach and upper arms and the expressions made most people very scared, which was the idea, after all a scared enemy was more likely to make mistakes. The person at the centre of the different guards was the diplomatic envoy to the Varden, he was of course an assassin but also a trained negotiator, a useful skill when negotiating money for releasing a captive. His teeth were about all you could see of his face they were fairly small and slightly yellow from staining. His eyes were almost reddy-black, the rest of his face was covered by two plates that were attached to his jaw, much like the dwarves 'fist's of steel' they were roughly triangular with the other side ending near his lips, they then had a claw that pulled his lips into a grotesque smile. On his black belt he had an excellently crafted one handed sword, a bit smaller than normal and without the normal embellishments, the sword was again a deep black. Of course you couldn't actually see any of this as he was surrounded by his guards at all times.
Feinster, Nasuada's throne room.
"they say they are from the assassin's guild" she was incredulous "and how precisely can they prove that?"
"the envoy has a ring that he says was made by the durgrimst ingeitum for a 'job'"
"send for Orik and tell him the situation, when he or someone from his clan has arrived send for the envoy"
"yes ma'am"
feinster, assassin's guild diplomatic envoy
finally one of the slightly less scared guards had gone up to them and asked them if they wanted to sit down as it might be a while
"we can wait here, besides if we sat down we would spend around a second getting up and by then, well you'd be dead" all this was said in a toneless, dull, emotionless monotone.
36 minutes, 14 seconds later
"lady nasuada will see you now" they all stood and walked, almost silently, to the imposing wooden doors.
AN sorry it's so short but I want to have a think before I continue
