RoleChapter 2 The cost of being revealed. Added Tue Jan 2 03:14:18 2018 at level 25:Over many years the soft, weak little boy was honed into a hardened warrior. Fierce and unforgiving, he looked back upon that child with disdain. Though still, he was weak. His training was advanced, but not yet complete, and his father showed him constantly, brutally, and painfully how far yet he had to go. Indraen was the head of the Royal Academy of Assassins in Humsah Mu'Tazz, and his own child had higher expectations than a common initiate. Soon would come the final trial for the boy, his first contract.
The details from the guild were sparse, but the course was clear. The target was a being of some power, so a contact poison would be employed to momentarily weaken them. There was a room in the Drunken Efreeti Inn that was to be a meeting place. The poison would be upon the doorknob and the first to enter would be the target, the guild would make sure of it. He perched himself with artistic poise above the door, and in not very long it opened. A familiar silhouette entered, and within seconds began to weaken at the knees, wobbling in distress. He pounced upon the form that he knew was his father, and took him down easily-a most unfamiliar feeling. When their eyes met Indraen laughed, "So they found out about her," he said of the Sultan's paramour, a jealous woman whom Indraen was simultaneously bedding and working for. He explained that this was his secret, and now it would mean one of their deaths. Seshaien took this final lesson seriously, and ended his fathers life with as much dignity as the situation allowed. Despite the loss, he felt that this had helped prepare him for the difficult road ahead.
With his prominence in the guild sealed with the brutal task performed, he levied his sights upon the Empire. It was a network of power, waiting to be manipulated. After a lifetime of hiding his own flaws, he knew that there would be ample opportunities to exploit the flaws of others. And if he kept his wits well enough about him to prevent his own secret from being revealed, an opportunity to enjoy the safety of the shadows as one who rules the land. Not Emperor, that position was far too vulnerable, but a position close to it. Still, since ending his father he felt a lack of guidance. He meant to seek out one who knew more about secrets and their keeping than even his father. One for whom the pain of both their keeping and their losing was well known, the Lord of Loss.
