Drake was clearly intoxicated walking around in a blur. "Whats a..." Drake was oblivious to what was going on around him, he was indeed asking for trouble. Drunken fool walking about. One good thing for drake right now is its daylight if it was dark he may have been mugged, robbed, or even killed. "Serale sir...Wow you seem to be very drunk..." Drake stumbled on a elf female. "Whats do you car for?" Drake was having trouble speaking, walking and even seeing. These were the obvious effects of alcohol and they had raped drake. "Here, you need help." Drake began to doze off as the elf helped him off the dirty streets.

The elf carried him back to her home. She laid drake down on his back in a spare bed she had. This she elf was taking a huge risk letting a stranger into her home. Drake was passed out barly alive. "This poor man almost drake himself to death..." She kept checking on him over and over. The smell of alcohol engulfed the room drake was staying in. After about half a brightening drake woke back up, not totally sober yet. "...Errg..." Drake said holding his head and opeing his eyes. "What the hell..." Drake looked around the room. "Where am I, and how the hell did I get here." The she elf walked in, "Your awake." She gave drake a smile. "You are you and where am I?" Drake asked. "I am Liotha Gea'vrind and I took you into my home after seeing you near death from a night of drinking." Drake sat up and held his head. "Your crazy for letting me in your home elf..." Drake stood to his feet. "Wheres my white shroud?!" Drake said in a panic. The elf elegantly went and grabed it. "I hung it up for you, you were sweating horribly figured it may cool you off." She handed it to him. Drake cracked a smile at her. "You are one of a kind elf."

Drake nodded at the she elf. "Well you know elf, you really should be wary of who you let in your home. Trust me..." The she elf laughed at drakes comment. "Human do not judge me. I can handle my own, and as far as you...You would only be a rm up for me." Drake had a suprised look on his face. "You don't know me elf!" Again the elf laughed at drake, drake was begining to wonder. "You crashed into me in the streets! I could have mugged you, and stabbed you, and could have left your body in the streets where you belonged!" Drake's face went pale, he had no memory of earlier.

"I crashed into?" Drake asked with a scared look on his face. "Yes, you did, and you were near death for the drink." Drake sat down and asked, "Do you have any water...I feel dehydrated." The elf nodded and went got a glass of water for drake. Drake really was clueless about today, nor could even remember what he drank. He started with his flask, but he could have ened up at tavern. He didn't know, but he was smashed. "Here you go." She handed drake a glass of water. The water looked like it came from the heavens. The water was what drake ultimatedly needed. Drake took the water and slammed it down. The water felt unbelievable in drake dry chackled throat. "One question for you elf...Are you serious about what you said?" The elf smirked, "Why curious? Human you would on be a waste of my time." The smirk traveled to a chuckle. "Curious?" Drake smiled.

Drake smiled and looked at elf. "Elf, you apprear to my eyes as an elegant she elf...i don't see how you could hurt me." One again, for the third time, she laughed. [i]"I belong to a underground group of assassins. I however, have to be as undercover as possible because of my rank." She looks to the ground. "Whats your name human?" She asked him looking in his eye. "Drake Flowe...No need to worry. I too am trying to become a assassin." Lioath looked at the ground and smiled. "You wish to be one of us?" Drake had a confused look on his face. "I don't want to join a legue of assassins, I'm solo." Drake said with confidence in his voice. "Humph, I said that once, hell i did that once. One thing you need to know about assassins is they compete, and if you can't beat 'em join 'em." Liotha said to drake. Her voice seemed to get more rugged. "Follow me mr. flowe." She walks over to a set off wooden stairs that lead to a basement.

They walked down to the basement level. Everywhere there was odd banners and diffrent daggers, ropes, grapple devices, armor sets, everything a assassin needs. "Wow...You have a lot of gear here Liotha." She nodds and hold her waist. "Yeah, I need all this, because this is the headquarters for NOI." Drake looks at her, "NOI? She explains, "Nightwatchers of Imperia, a legue of assassins bent on getting back on those that harmed. Harm those who have harmed. Thats our motto and we live by it. Civillians are spared for they are innocent." Drake nodds. "How do I get in?" The elf laughed again. "Well, you have the look...Initiation of course." Drake sat on a chair that stood by a table. "What must I do, kill someone?" The elf laughed again, "Human your funny. No something simple, like get me some information from two guys, both located in the Plaza of Angels. More then likely they will be together...Of course...You have to accept to my terms." Drake nodds. "What are they?" She gets ready to explain. "Pay attention because I will only tell you this infomation once. One-You must remain undercover if you are a high ranking officer. Two-You must prevent as many from harm as possible. Three-You must kill those that harm. Four-Never turn you back on Nightwatchers of Imperia. Five-Most important, do not harm anyone innocent. Violation of any of these rules will result in death. You accpet these terms? Drake and Lioatha sit in silence.

Drake Flowe · June 8, 2008, 05:46 PM

Drake had a confused look on his face. "Death? Is that not a little extream for breaking a rule?' The elf gave drake a stern look. Drake noticed it quickly. "Rules? These shouldn't even be called terms. This is the code we, as assassins, live by. So to answer your question, death is what you bring and if you cannot follow our code you to will become the very thing you cause." Drake nods as she spoke, "That makes sense...I accept the terms that were presented to me..." Drake gives a slight bow. "Good your alais right now is, Slim. I, and everyone within the "team" will address you as Slim. This will change later, when more is done. I have a easy and small mission for you."

She pauses for a moment. "There is a filthy begger that stumbles around parts of the the graveyard. Mumbleing junk to himself. Despite the man's crazyness he knows a few things that I need to know. Ask him about Jumbo and where he went a few brightenings ago. Jumbo could possibly be a backstabber, anyways find the begger and ask about jumbo. I assume you have gear to aid your little journey?" Drake sat for a moment and looked at her. "I have a Kris, and two swordbreaker daggers..." She raises her lip and brow. [i]"That'll do. Just get me my information.

Drake leaves and heads out the door. Drake recites something to himself in kemite as he walks.“'Torek Aldaine qor'u cha ae runak foray ae qilkaru!” which in Common Aelyrian translates into “Honored Aslan give me strength to defeat this evil that I face!”

Drake passes through the city quite quickly. Drake hasen't seen anyone so far, which at this time was a good thing. Time was late and drake was getting tired but he had to complete this to be one of the assassins the she elf spoke of. Drake kept heading down the streets trying to make himself as unknown as possible and just passed. he looked like a small glimse of light as he passed through the darkness. Drake was pulling out of the main drag of the city and was drawing near the graveyard. Drake moved around the fairly large area.

"Broke...Always broke. Filthy imperian's...Live by the day, make the honest crowne...Tsk, not me, I'd much rather wait here and get my dues!" Drake could hear someone talking in the distance. Drake stopped and sat behind a headstone and listened. "I've lived here for fifty-four patterens. Most of these young little punks haven't even see death. Yet they want to bring it, and embrace it. In my time death was feared." It went quiet for a moment, drake waited. Still the man stayed quiet, drake wanted to confront him but beofre he could move he speaks again.

".........He'll get his. Filthy little assassin. Turn his back on me will he? Well I know more then he thinks." Drake could not hear the name of the person the man spoke. Drake has heard enough he moved slowly. Drake put his hands together and moved slowly around headstones. This made his look like he is preying for the dead. The fool didn't even notice drake until he was teps from him. "Arrrg!...Who are you and what do you want...I have no crowne." Drake smikered. The night hid drakes face, of coruse drake's shorud helped. Only drakes lips were visable. "I care not for your money. I want answers...Who were speaking of, just a moment ago." The man played stupid. "I wasn't speaking of no one. Hell I wasn't even speaking!" Drake shook his head. "Don't lie to me...I heard it all but the mans name. I know hes a assassin and I want his name!" The man looked suprised. "So your a easdropper are 'ya? Well since you know...Wait! Why do you want to know?" Drake got close to the mans face and said, "Look I too am a assasin and I NEED this information, now tell me. Was his name Jumbo?" The man paused for a moment, "Yes."

Drake nodded. "How do you know him and how did he turn his back on you?" He man stood to his feet. "Well...He owed me crowne and up and left the area. Some say he's been seen around the dock during the brightening...Associating with pirates. Of course pirates and assassins are enemies so he almost backstabbing the assassins." Drake nodds at the statement. "Thats valueable information. Thank you....Oh and by the way the name's Slim. Heres a couple of cronwe for your time. Drake tosses five crowne at the begger. The begger just simply nodds and says, "Any time slim...Oh and by the way, Jumbo is a human kemite much like yourself. Hes quick and has motive. So watch youself Slim." Drake nodds and heads back into the city. Drake thoguht about passing by the dock, but disregared the idea, bad time to be seen around there. He heads back to the she elf's home.

Drake Flowe · June 9, 2008, 11:04 PM

Drake was really exhausted and seemed this information would be valueable to Liotha. Drake walked to Liotha's door and knocked three times. There was a long pause then an answer. "Serale Slim, come in." Drake walked though the door and surveyed the room to every detail. The elf closed the door. She waved him to the basement. The walked and proceed down the stairs the basement. "Ok Slim, what did you find out?" Drake sat down and began to explain. "Well the begger gave 'em up. Jumbo has been seen around darkening at the docks. At least thats the word." The elf shhok her head. "You got that quick...How?" Drake stood up. "Well...He was scared and began to try to hide 'em...I scared him more, he talked and I tipped." She nodds and smiles. "Good job Slim. Money talks my friend." Drake stands and begins to get thristy.

"Well this is a celebration." Drake smiles and reaches for his flask. He pull it out and screes the top off. He pulls a big sip from it. He gags, and screws the top back on. He holds it in his hands. "You know Slim, drinking alcohol is looked poorly on, but I don't mind it. Drake gets a confused look on his face. "Errg I'm tired O'm going to head on home I'm tired." The elf nodds at drake. "Very well Slim stop by next brightening." Drake nodds and heads home. He walks threw the door and gives a wave out. Drake heads down the street with his hood up and hand on dagger walking through the streets. Drake finally got home and fell a sleep in his small bed.
