A breeze air swirled the sand in the air. A black haired woman with crimson eyes dressed in a black cloak that covers until the legs and wearing a mask covered her mouth until her chest holding a rifle aiming at a flying dragon with passengers on it. She is dressed in black too and also wears a silver belt around her waist. The rifle she is using have a long and thin blade that replace the telescopic sight. She cast a tiny magic circle near her right eye that represent a telescopic sight as she aim her rifle at the dragon. The magic telescopic sight close on an old man wearing a top hat. She then aimed at the dragon's eye and shoot it.
The dragon roared as it loses one of its sight and the rider is trying to tame it. The passengers were panicking and yelling for help. The sudden panic shocked the dragon which it dives down onto the ground and led to the death of everyone including the dragon.
"Mission completed,"
The woman stood up and hanged her rifle behind her back as she retrieved the money from a certain clan.
"Well done, Miss Rin, here's your reward of taking down our rival, it was nice doing business with you,"
The female assassin just took the money without saying anything.
"Aren't you gonna say anything, you know, I could pay you extra for that body of yours, how about we have fun later,"
The assassin ignored the man and takes her leave.
"Hey, say somethin-"
As the man try to touch the assassin, she grabbed his hand and pulled him, crashing him onto the ground later on. The man's guards pulled out their gun and pointed at the assassin. The assassin just pulled out her rifle and dashed among the guards. she uses the blade on her rifle and slashes every guards. All bullets shotted by the guards were deflected or missed.
The assassin quickly took down all the men and sighed.
"You're so amazing, big sis,"
The assassin turned her head toward the sound and pointed her rifle at her. Realizing it was from a little girl, she slowly declined her hand.
"little kid, it's dangerous here, leave,"
The assassin tries talking to the little girl.
"No,"
"It's dangerous here, you might get killed he-"
"Karvashe Rin,"
The assassin stopped mid sentence.
"Karvashe Rin, one of the world finest assassin, I have a job for you,"
"Who are you?"
"My identity doesn't matter, all you need to know is have a job for you,"
"...., go on,"
"I want you to take down the Perfect Mage,"
"Sorry, I won't take it,"
"I got cash,"
"It's not about cash, you want me, to fight the Perfect Mage? dream on, we all know how powerful he is,"
"I don't want you to kill him, I want you to slow him down for a certain event,"
"Slow him down? That will still be tough, how much are we speaking?"
"1000 gold Sahhara coins,"
The little girl then pulled out a large pouch of gold coins from her item bag magic.
"..., fine,"
"Do it tonight,"
"..."
The assassin then walked away and headed for the kingdom of Sahhara.
----------------------------------
Thud.
The carriage shook as it passed the brick road. Will rested his book on his lap as they had finally arrived at their destination. Raye and the party climbed down the carriage as they stood in the city near the royal palace. They couldn't get to the royal palace directly since it is very high guarded.
"Walk up this path and you will arrive at the royal palace,"
Raye paid the driver and went to check in an inn. It has already been half a day so they decided to rest for the day and visit the kingdom of Sahhara tomorrow. They visited the admired the view of the daylight environment of the royal capital near the royal palace. Will visited a butcher in the city which agreed to help cutting the other half of the behemoth but for a high price.
They visited the guild of the city and went on to pick up quests on the billboard. The party then noticed a poster about tonight celebration. It is about celebrating the first prince's marriage. The party quickly picked up some quests before dusk arrive and headed to the inn once done.
-----------------------------
The sky fall and turned dark. A huge festive started with vibrant lights flooding the city. A luxurious carriage drove in the middle of the streets. In there sat the first prince who have blue hair and his wife that have black hair. They both dressed fashionably and culturally according to their culture. The wife wore a light blue dress and a silk cloth that covers her face. The first prince wore a formal white thobe.
Drum rolls can be heard from the distance as Raye and the party approached the parade. They joined in the huge crowd to experience this unique event. As they were walking, a group of people dressed in velvet red cloak walked past the crowd. They knocked over people shoulders and didn't apologize. One of them bumped into Will's shoulder and just ignored Will. Will didn't say anything. but just stared at them in suspicion as if he had seen them before.
People dancing and loud music playing by a group of people as the parade officially started. The music is so catchy that people in the event also started dancing. The party walked through a street that sells food to have dinner. The party bought few kebabs and other skewers. Something then caught Will's attention, a stall selling shawarma from afar. Will left the gang without notifying them.
"Let's go catch up to him,"
Raye and Al tries to catch up to Will but got split apart by the crowd. Now Raye is all alone. He decided to wonder around trying to find them.
Bang!
A loud shot sounded in the air. Raye turned around to look over at the direction the sound sounded. Raye looked forward and backward, hesitating whether to catch up to Will and Al or not but ultimately chose to follow the sound.
