'Traveling as a normal human should? Ha, how inconvenient....After all, being one with the darkness was much, much easier at night.'
These were the semi-annoyed thoughts of a young woman making her way through the forest, silent as the night. Sent out to kill a certain person she had only been given an image of and a name, Shadow was simply doing her job as an assassin. And, for once, she wasn't doing a job assigned by the somewhat bothersome demon that she had made a deal with. This time, she had gotten a job from the outside, which meant that said person had gotten a very unreliable assassin. After all, Shadow didn't need money bad enough to go about killing some random person that would indeed be quite troublesome to kill. Or, it had sounded so, at least. Picking her way through the forest with ease, she suddenly heard a sound. Definately a person. She hid behind a little group of trees, and watched from out of view. This man here was not her target. Unfortunately, he happened to be in the way. In the freaking middle of the way, and he looked like he was powerful. Now, she wasn't stupid, so she figured she would have to kill him and the other mage that she was sent to kill, so she frowned and decided to just give up.
Well, for now. But, why kill the guy that was just doing his job, standing there? After all, something about him caught her attention....he seemed interesting.
Shadow melted into the darkness, no longer visible to the eye. After a few moments, a dark something came from within Rath's shadow, materializing next to him as Shadow. She was only about 2 feet away, and she leaned against a tree. "Hello, sir." It was then that she realized she either probably just made him very angry for simply being there or scared the crap out of him, or both. She said quickly, "By the way, I don't mean to cause any trouble, if you're a guard or something." She looked at him, her odd crimson-black eyes cutting through the darkness to stare into his. She hoped she hadn't caused too much trouble...after all, she might have to cause more if this man decided she needed to get out of here.
