[IC] A Twist Of A Knife, The Birth Of A Legend.

[The Slenderman]

" I had to chase someone but I lost them." Aelin said as she sat down and hugged him, after all she hadn't seen him in a very long time and she was very glad to see him, she smiled at her brother

[Slendy]

Allen hugged her back. "So what did that someone do that you had to chase him." He was happy to see his sister again but was worried something had happen to her. Even though she sounded happy to see him ,he could see that she was chasing that person for a really good reason.

[The Slenderman]

She sniffled and then began to cry " t..hey killed a whole group of street urchins that were supposed to be my information gatherers and they killed them." She sobbed into her lap " Who could kill innocent children, brother."

[Rusalka]

Upon her travels across the high passages of the city, Alena had noticed a rather peculiar sight from the corner of her eye while she was mid-sprint. He was an odd sort of chap, a sneak thief perhaps Alena could deduce by the lad's rather shabby and untrustworthy appearance. But did her eyes deceive her or was she standing face to face again with that woman who merely chided her a few moments ago, the infamous Sardothien if name suited her right. Yet, Alena didn't make herself known yet, fearing the blonde woman was still at odds with her, remembering such an icy glare that could chill bones enough to break. So for the remainder, the other assassin kept herself hidden, listening in on the conversation below. Ah, so it seemed Celaena had family, a brother she had been estranged from possibly for some time. Yet....something else she said....it bothered the dark haired woman. Killed...street urchins....children?! And just from the lamenting of her poor soul, Alena could only assume the blonde had close ties to these urchins. What vileness! What...despicable actions!

[Slendy]

"Insane people sis , insane people." He huged her again. " Why would he or she kill the urchins in the first place? Did you have a grudge with them or something?" Allen truly wish he could help but he needed more information about what's going on. This must be really important to Aelin it was his first time seeing her again and she was broken down in tears.

[The Slenderman]

"The person that killed them is named Charles, I'm the best assassin in this realm and I couldn't even assassinate the bastard." She touched his face with her tender and careful hand, " Even my apprentice Aery is distraught, she looks after them."

"Stage two, Fire sale" he broke off the road to a bar and brought up the full stock of alchole and a few hands, and they walked to the assasins head quarters setting up the bottles with rags and lights. when they arrived he let out an order "Enter the building, burn everything you can find. steal anything you want, kill anyone who stands in your way" he threw a fire bottle into the building. he sat back on his horse and watched, a few minutes later there was a blaze througout the building. "Sad this had to happen. she just wouldnt talk" h turned and galloped away.

[Slendy]

"Damn , he must be pretty skilled." Allen thought for a moment and then an idea popped into his head. "How about I help you get rid of this guy?" That seem to be the only thing that Allen can come up with. He also didn't want to see his sister like this so killing the guy was a no brainer. " Let's go find your apprentice and then pack up are things so we can start are hunt for this Charles basterd."

charles moved his horse to the closest shop, a taylors he got down and walked it "Ill bu your shop for 10000 solver coins. all i ask is that you cut off all trading with the assasins, everything else is yours" the taylor took the coins and agreed.

[Rusalka]

"Sounds to me as if you have quite the bone to pick with this Monsieur Charles." Alena's voice echoed from atop a nearby roof, and in an instant she was before the two, brother and sister, landing gracefully to her feet. "Though I'm not amused by your unsavory behavior earlier, I am willing to help you....for no price at all." Reaching to her hood, she pulled it back, revealing the features of her face, skin pale as death, eyes red as blood, and a pair of lips curled into a menacing scowl. Humbly she curtsied before the woman, "Alena Carthenwald, at your service Mademoiselle Sardothien. Forgive my intrusions upon you and your brother, but it seems you are caught in a harrowing predicament, your loved ones slain by a nefarious hand." Likewise she shared the same pain as Celaena.

the guild hall was now alight and Katya could hear shouting and laughing outside. she pulled a sword from the wall and charged outside to attack the threat.

Shadow again found himself floating in his own mind. he shook his head and came back to the real world. he then heard all the sounds around him. he growled at himself and then rolled over and using his good arm forced himself to his feet. he found his strength again and just as he rose to his full height he saw the guild lights clear and focused in his vision. he shook his head and then looked at his shoulder. he didnt feel anything from it but he knew that was the poison. " Well shadow looks like you screwed it up again. this time you went and got an new poison good job" he said to himself.

After hearing the message, Aery sprinted off to find Tazz, still clutching Ame. Her thoughts were in such a tumble that she didn't even try to sort them out. As soon as she got within a block of the place, she knew something was wrong, by the high, keening wail that circulated the air. She followed it to find Silly clutching Tazz's lifeless body, sobbing. The boy's head was broken and there was blood all over. Even though she'd killed before, the sight of the massacre made the bile rise in her throat. She clapped her hand over her mouth, gave up, set Ame down on the ground, and threw up everything she'd eaten that day. "I'll KILL them! I'll rip their hearts out and pour their blood on the street. I'll torture them until they beg for mercy and I won't ever give it to them. I'll KILL THEM!" She buried her face in her hands, weeping. And of course the commotion woke Ame, who saw blood and freaked out, for lack of a better term. Get it together, Aery. For Ame and Silly and the hundred other urchins in this town. They didn't all die here."Silenia, come on. We've got to go." Her voice was hoarse but it held together. "NO! We can't leave them here, alone, in the dark. We can't leave them. We can't." Silly's voice cracked with her sobs. "Silenia. Please. We can't stay here. We've got to warn the others. The killer knows what I promised my lady, though I don't know how." My lady. The princess Aelin Galathyius. We're, well, not sisters, then, but... No. No. Don't think of it, Aery, you'll lose your head and Silly and Ame will die. It's all your fault, you stupid girl. You never should have left them. Before she could fall apart, a lad of about thirteen trotted out of the piles of garbage around the camp. "Aery, mum, wha' happened here?" he asked, horror on his face. He was followed by two girls and another lad his own age. All wore colored threads around their wrists and ankles. Clever children, they'd already come up with a signaling system for locations and messengers. "Mum, wha' happened?" "my gah, don' tell me all tha' blood's from they!" "I heared screamin', an' I was all the ways across town, bu' I comed a'fast as I coul', mum." "A murderer killed them. They were here in their beds for the night, and a murderer snuck in and massacred them." Aery rose to her feet to survey the group. "And you all aren't safe. Go back to your respective groups, all of you. Cut the threads off of your wrists. It was a clever idea, and I appreciate it, but it marks you for the ones who want to hurt you. Round everyone up and get them to... Oh..." The guild is burning! She thought as the fire shot up and the fire bells sounded. "City park. All of the under-thirteens and any older ones if they want to come and haven't been cruel to you. If you encounter any trouble at all, whistle, and I'll come to your aid with my lady Celaena Sardothien." The girls gasped; the boys looked at her in awe. She shooed them away. "Now go! Have everyone at the park in fifteen minutes! And stick to the shadows; nowhere's safe!" Turning to Silly and Ame, she said softly, "Come on, girls. We've got to go get weapons. I've got a good stash in the palace. You have to stay with me, you hear me?" She swung Silly onto her back and cradled Ame in her arms. Then she set off as fast as she dared through the streets to the palace, taking the servant's stair. She changed out of her ball clothes into leggings and a tunic, changed the clothes on Silly and Ame, and stuffed every weapon she could find into two rucksacks, one of which she put on Silly's back, the other on her own. Silly had to sit on top of a pack, then, but the risk was outweighed by the fact that she had seventy-odd daggers for the little ones and thirty slings and... Her longbow. She was an excellent shot, she just preferred not to use her bow as it was conspicuous. But she didn't think she'd be coming back here anytime soon and didn't want to leave it behind. And of course she brought her poisoned sewing needles. As she ran to the park she crashed into Aelin and someone who bore a resemblance to her (Slendy), and a hauntingly beautiful woman with crimson eyes (Rusalka). She'd drawn a dagger before she realized that they were standing close together like friends. "Oh, my, I'm so sorry, Ael--Cela--Ae... My lady. I'm so sorry for drawing my weapon on you. I'm just... I'm hypervigilant and I'm trying to be busy so that I don't break down right now. I've got all the urchins headed to City Park. I've got enough weapons for all of them in these packs. I'm scared, my lady. All the ones who looked to me for protection are dead, and I've got a hundred more that I need to try to protect now. Will you come with me? They all saw the scene, or talked to children who saw the aftermath, and they're hungry for revenge." Her voice was steady, carefully measured, almost; her eyes were wide and frightened. She took two deep, shuddering breaths. "I'm okay. I'm okay. I can grieve later, once everyone is safe and their killer is brought to justice. I can do this. Just hold it together, Aery, just hold it together." Hold it together; don't you DARE fall apart yet, Aery. Don't you DARE.

Leon had just managed to find a bag of money when he heard a loud smashing noise. He pocketed the money and ran out of the room he was him to find a burning torch thrown in. Confused as to why anyone would try to burn this place down he grabbed the torch and looked outside to see a throng of poeple outside causing fires in various places throughout the building. Leon had what he wanted so he quickly sprinted up the the uper levels and jumped out through a window landing on an adjacent roof top. Leon left the burning building behind and stored the bag of money he had acquired in one of the safe spots he had established in the city. Then he wandered around for a bit on the roof tops curious to see more of the city, finally he happened to chance upon what appeared to be the strange women who owned the building that had just burned down. She looked rather worse for wear but she had a consirable following around her, Leon watched from the rooftop curious to see how the scene would unfold. Perhaps the lady had another hideout she would lead him to. Perhaps it would have even more money.

For who knows how long, Keira had been wandering around after the attack of the guards. Her plan was, in fact, to join the assassin's guild, but she considered it and instead surveyed the city. She had, after all, just arrived there. There seemed to be a commotion at the castle, as nobles in masquerades and fancy clothing were frantically running away from the vicinity, and guards came rushing in it instead. Keira ignored it. She thought she'd only get into trouble by getting herself in the mess. She continued wandering, sometimes traversing the area from atop roofs. When she thought she'd seen enough, she headed back south of the city, to the direction of the guild. To her surprise though, the building that was only standing so grand moments ago were then in a blazing inferno, which was spreading quickly throughout.

[The Slenderman]

“My friend Chaol Westfall built a backup guild close to the castle and he will meet us there, but Aery, crown or dagger: crown means you will return to royalty and forget everything about me and have instant riches or stay with me and become notorius and feared everywhere and wait a bit but you will have riches but that will take time.“ Celaena asked Aery and held a crown she stole from terrasen and a held a knife in the other hand waiting for her to pick

"Stage 3, mass recruiting and running out of time" he trotted through the town square "I will pay anyman who hunts the assasins guild 600 gold coins" he had a few people come up to him and take his money "Go to the castle and kill anything that holds a assasins mark" they all ran off to the castle to purge. he took his horse to the more rough areas of town, he entured a alley way "I will pay 500 gold coins to whoever kills the assasins"

[RomanAria]

Aery didn't even hesitate. She took the dagger, lightly pressed it to her palm. It cut her skin without her even pushing. With the bloody hand, she gripped the hilt of the dagger, letting her blood soak into the leather and mark the knife as unmistakeably hers. "You've been better to me than any of the royals have. And you treat my friends like people, not like trash. Besides, my talents would be wasted, drinking tea with the ladies and flirting with the gentleman and tatting lace all day." She readjusted the backpack, slightly jostling Ame. With the hand not clutching the dagger she grabbed Silly's hand. "Will you come with me to see the other urchins to safety? Actually, better question: does the offer still stand for them? If not, I've got some contacts out in the country who could use some extra hands on the farm, and then they'd be out of harms way until we get the killers. But they want to help, and..." She hesitated. She wanted no more bloodshed for the urchins, but... "I think we should let them. They always resolve their own fights, even with the nobles. Remember my lord of Bellhaven?" He'd gone insane after all of his household had been found in the street with their throats cut. The murderers? The friends of a teenage street girl whom the lord had brought into his household as a mistress. She turned down one of the side alleys to head for the park, confident that Celaena would be following her. But then she froze, still in the shadows, as she heard a terribly close shout of "I will pay 500 gold coins to whoever kills the assassins!" which meant that, probably, whoever was against the group of them was right in that alley. She pushed the girls into a broken-down doorway, heard a hissed code-word repeated twice, and knew instantly that they'd be safe, as that was one of the other urchin camps she attended to. She beckoned Celaena over. "He really made it that easy?" she whispered, the sound not carrying further than Celaena's ears. "He's right in here; I'll circle around to the other side. We'll corner him, and make him pay for what he's done." That said, she sprinted off, down two streets, back a block, cutting up two streets. She recognized the door and broken windows and knew this was the right alley, which meant that the man would be trapped between her blades and Celaena's, when the moment came.

charles turned the horse around and galloped out the alley towards a new urchin camp "Got to tie up some more loose ends"

[The Slenderman]

As soon as Aery took the dagger she smiled and said “Then I claim you, Arienne Silverheart and No it was my fault in the castle ball I told a guy named Charles i got them and where they were i am sorry, yes it still stands “ Celaena lowered her head as if to say sorry and then celaena fell to her hands and knees sobbing infront of the princess
