of death and life
thats the funny thing about death,aethis thought as he stared into the surrounding darkness of his room, no matter how much death you deal out you only die once."ugh i need to stop thinking so deeply.its foolish."the black wolf muttered to himself as he arose from his bed. he hadnt made it even halfway through the room before a door opend, sending a blinding beam of light into the room."i never understand why you keep it so dark in hear.i can bearly see enything." the figure at the door complained as it walked in and started lighting a candle, slightly luminating the room and revealing four barren walls with nothing but numerous wepons hanging there."oh are you thinking deep again, you usually do when you drink."the intruder,a white panther with icy blue eyes and a ever constant smile. aethis looked down to his right paw and saw the culprit to his uncerecharistic moral thoughts."what are you doing here sevv?"aethis asked as he threw the bottle halfhartedly at the panther,but missed his head bearly."im hear to kill on garthel's behalf.i thought you knew that by now, we both have been for years now."aethis glared at him,his orange eyes taking a moody glare in the candle light."i mean in my room.why are you here,unanounced bringing light to my eyes."he growled."oh"sevv answered in fainged ignorance."i just wandted to see how my teamate is doing, and if you wanted to go out tonight.you know have fun, maybe find a woman. i havent seen you have eny enjoyment in eny sence for as long as i could remember.and ithought you could use the fun ."he spoke with dripping sorrow, and even winced as if saddend.but the smile remained."leave now."aethis spoke as he turned,his movement cousing the flame to flicker."all right all right i see your not in the mood to joke.so seriously im here to tell you of a job.we have been hired."the panther spoke as he turned to put the candle on the floor,as there wasnt any furniture aside from a bed,which was only a makeshift palate on the ground."thats what we get for becoming the most effective and renoun assassins in the whole city.you need to get ready we leave in five-oh"sevv stopped as he turned to face th wolf,who was already prepared with all his gear and was putting a black cloak on."well i need some time.meet you at the entrance hall then."the panther spoke as he left aethis."your never ready."aethis sighed as he left as well to wait at the entrance hall.
thats the funny thing about life, moric thought, no matter how much you try to live to the fullest you only get one life."sigh what a sad thing to think."moric said as he lifted a bottle and looked at it quizically."you are supposed to make partys fun, not be a buzz kill." the lithe fox spoke as he threw the bottle against the door, which opened when it hit."hay what was that for?" spoke the door opener,another fox,though of bigger stature than moric."oh sorry drake i didnt know youd be opening the door.what do you want?is it time?"moric asked as he jumped up enthusiastically."wouh wouh hold your horses, some things demand sublty."drake said seriously."but yeah its time for your first mission for the thieves giuld,and right after you passed the initiation.you are fully recovered from the party right?"drake sked as he eyed the smaller fox."yeah, im more than ready.just didnt expect it to be right now."the lithe fox lied,he hadnt slept since everyone else left his "initiats party" or the celebration of his right of passage so to speak.as a matter of fact they told him to sleep early,but he did a little late night partying of his own.but the only witness to that party lay shattered on the floor."well what did you expect making such a splash as you did.your a supposed prodigy.the best thief ever if you look at the initiation. even the giuld master was blown away by it.and she is the best, a legend."all this rambling coused moric to groan."just tell me whats the job?"even i wasnt told,i was told however to take you to a location for our info for the case."morics head perked up."our?"yeah,we are partners now.cool huh?"yeah! hell yeah i thought i would be paired up with some deadbeat, but i actually get someone who can keep up with me!"oh thinks,i guess."drake spoke lightheartedly,taking no offence."well shall we go?"moric asked as he tugged his green claock on,as well as a belt that had a dagger and pouch with his tools in it."yeah lets head to the randevu point.soon enough they were on the streets,lively even though it was just bearly over sunrise."we are supposed to meet them in an abandoned storehouse in the market area.so lets get a move on."drake spoke calmly, even though moric could sence a little giddyness in it."i cant blame him im excited too.my first case."moric thought as they weaved thier way through the crowd with expert ease.soon they were within sight of the market."moric over here."drake yelled from across the street.alright sheesh morics thought as he made his way across the street.he had nearly made it before he was bumbed into by someone he hadnt even seen coming."oh sorry sir!"he yelped as he turned to see a black hood drawn over a strange person.he saw two sharp orange eyes looking not at him but passed him."damn we were so close now the targets getting away"spoke a white panther next to the strange black wolf.the panther sounded distrought and really upset, but his face was the opposite,a big smile."i got him."the wolf spoke as he looked into morics eyes,they slightly widend as green met orange.moric was bearly aware of the fact that the wolf had risen his hand to reveal a small hand crossbow,a faivorite among assassins, and placed it level to his shoulder.he heard a click and could even feel the small,probably lethally poisoned bolt,shoot past his left shoulder,heading to who knows whear.moric didnt care,he was too lost in the eyes of the wolf,who was still looking in his eyes,dispite the fact he just shot without aiming."great shot,right in the calf.the poisons probably killed him by now.well that was dull,despite the fact that our little freind here almost gave us away."the panther spoke,once again with a vehemantly annoyed voice,but his face still seemed to demand the opposite emotion."what should we do to him?"the panther asked.to answer the question the wolf holstered his hand crossbow into his cloak,turned and walked away."fine,but he did cause us some trouble ya know."the panther complained as he stalked off after the wolf.it took moric a few seconds to recover after thier little staring match,which might have made other people to cringe in fear.but moric felt something other than fear.he couldnt place the feeling.huh strange.he thought to himself as he jogged up to drake,who was waiting by the door."i thought you were dead for sure.you sure do have luck."drake spoke with reall worry."whys that?"moric asked."those two are the most dangerous assassins in the whole city and probably beyond.and you almost interupted thier chase for that poor dead fool over there."he added pointing to a crowd that had formed oround some poor feline,a bolt stiking out of her leg."yeah.but still i wouldnt mind seeing that wolf again."moric mumbled as drake shot him a scepticle look as they entered."your late."said a purple lepard."sorry we had a minor situation.its haldled."drake explained."yeah sorry parn."moric said."well enough of that. heres what you need to know.the whole guild is in on this one."that widend the eyes of both moric and drake."the whole giuld?wow,who could possible be the target that would demand the whole giuld."drake spoke with awe."well"parn spoke."as you know im the guild masters personal messenger when she wants to enlist the help of fellow thieves,so im entitled to certian info."that and bieng the giuld masters son helps too."drake mumbled."yes,that too.so my mother wanted to hire you help the case the assassins guild.thats our target,you two will play simple,yet vitle roles."-"wait why the assassins guild? do we really want to pick a fight with trained killers?" moric asked."ok i know that your fairly new here so ill fill you in."parn spoke,only slightly annoyed."theres a blood fued between the two guild leaders of thieves and assassins.my mother lost her brother to that fued,and it supposibly goes even deeper than that.so the case will involve a little "getting even". we will be stealing a vary personal hairloom of the assassins giuld leader.it supposibly has vary important sentimintal value."drake nodded."thats good and all,but what do we need to do?"you two wll be recieving the hairloom at a certian point and delivering it personally to our leader."moric sighed."sounds boring,just playing delivery boys?"drake nodded."yeah,it sounds really simple.whats the catch?"parn chuckled."you two will be attempting to outrun and out dadge the assassins that our main force cant preoccupy."that silenced both moric and drake."so is it interesting now? did i mention the payment 1000 gold pieces. not that bad for you first case moric."the fox nodded his agreement.what he didnt express was his sudden adrenaline rush at just the thought of helping steal something so important on his first case."when do we do it?"drake asked,cousing parn to chuckle.
"we strike tonight."
