Evernight looked at those before him and smiled beneath his mask. "Are you here to kill me?"
"What do you think, flower boy?" A voice said. He was one of the three assassins standing before him in the near darkness, under an almost full moon.
The three assassins were Awakeners, Evernight knew because they were famous. Three brothers that used the poison energy technique, were called the Scorpion brothers.
They were dressed in black clothes that were too big for them, their hands to their shoulders were bare, showing corded muscles that shifted with every breath.
Evernight didn't see any weapons on them but then again it might be beneath their clothes and it's not like it's a difficult thing to call a weapon.
He frowned beneath his white mask, he knew the flowers in his mask socket unnerved people. Even hardened assassins, he turned his on them, making them shift on the dry soil.
