When Kain had traveled to Ral Shie to fulfill his latest contract, he was expecting a fairly simple task. He was deeply annoyed when he noticed that there seemed to be a pirate attack happening this day. The boom of cannon fire and the screams of dying men brought Kain back to his own days as a pirate. He operated with much more finesse than these fools. This attack reminded him of another pirate raid, about five months ago... it was there Kain first met the fearsome Red-Eyed Demon. It was also there that Kain met a charmingly vicious women. He smirked at the thought of those two, but his smirk quickly turned into a frown.

"Dammit Raven, I miss those two heartless killers..." The raven on Kain's shoulder softly cawed in his ear. "You're right girl, at least I still have you." He gave the bird a quick stroke on the beak before walking over to his bedside table. The cheap tavern he had selected offered a small room, but the owner didn't ask many questions, one of the reasons Kain chose the place. He opened the small drawer, and pulled out his gun. Smirking, he strapped the polished black weapon to his hip, before putting on the perfectly carved clown mask that served as his "calling card." Before leaving the room, Kain made sure to put his knife in its sheath, and to strap his new sword to his back. The thought of using the weapon gave him chills, but its demonic appearance furthered his own reputation for madness. Making sure everything was in place, Kain opened the window. "Alright Raven, lets go kill these killers." Kain launched himself out of the window, disappearing into the shadows of the alleyways.

Kain jumped from building to building, while Raven soared overhead. The raid was worse than he realized, so he moved quicker, using the leaping stride taught to him long ago by a master assassin. When the pirates were in view, Kain pulled out his gun, and took careful aim. From so far away, he could not pick out the leader of this mob, but he could differentiate from pirates and civilians. Setting his gun to single shots, Kain let loose three bullets. Each one hit their target, and three of the pirates fell in a spray of blood. Kain didn't break stride for a second. Kain was now very close to the battle. He crouched on a roof of a high building, and began firing at the mob. Years of training have made Kain a crack shot, and every squeeze of the trigger brought death to an unfortunate pirate. Kain was itching to really fight though. He stopped firing as he heard a woman's scream. The pirates were in the houses, and Kain couldn't kill them if he couldn't see them. Grinning behind the mask, Kain jumped off the roof, flipping in midair before landing softly in the shadows of an alley.

Kain quickly followed the sound of screams to a small house. the door was caved in, so Kain drew his knife and cautiously entered. The screams were coming from upstairs. Kain silently climbed the stairs, and listened. "Shut it ye damn bitch, or the brats get it!" a man shouted. The screams turned to whimpers. Such complacency... but what was a woman to do? her precious children were in danger. Kain stood in the shadows of the doorway, and saw there were three pirates. One was clumsily attempting to rape the woman, while the other two held the children. there was the fresh corpse of a man on the floor; obviously the poor woman's husband. Kain looked at the woman, and a small shock went through him when he saw her hair color. Red, just like hers... but no, the eyes were green. Hers were the same startling blue as his own. Kain pulled two of his throwing knives, and with practiced accuracy, let them loose at the heads of the two men holding the children. before the blades even hit, Kain quickly stepped forward, flipping his knife into a defensive grip. as Kain lifted the blade over his head, he heard a dull thunk, indicating his blades had hit their intended targets. Before the rapist knew what was happening, Kain had rammed the knife into the man's back. The man screamed and twitched, and Kain noticed the impact was enough to crack several ribs and at least one of the central vertebra. Kain grabbed the man and flung him off the woman, stabbing him in the heart before dropping him to the floor. Kain turned to survey his work. as expected, the men were all dead, the children were cowering in the corner staring at him with teary eyes, and the woman was in shock. "Th...thank you... " she finally managed to stutter out. Kain turned back to her, cocking his head to the side as he looked at her... there were similarities, but not enough to stagger Kain. "I cannot do everything for you. You and the children will have to clean up the mess. guard your doors, and do not go out till next morning. Oh, and when you do, be careful. The streets will be stained with blood." Kain walked out of the room, a storm of anger building within him. These monsters would die today, and not a single one would survive.

Kain ran out into the streets, ready to throw himself into the full battle. before he made it, he noticed another person in trouble. There was a small knight, with an over-sized sword trying to fight. The small fool wasn't even aware of the stranger approaching from behind. This person didnt seem to be a pirate. Possibly an assassin from one of the weaker organizations. Kain pulled out his gun, and, noticing the stranger wore a helm, unlocked all three barrels. Kain moved himself to the left, so the little knight wouldn't get injured from the bullets. Taking a moment to aim, Kain shot the sneaky person. There was a thunderous bang, and a bright explosion of bone and brain and blood. Kain stepped from the shadows into the red haze, smelling the familiar scent of blood. Kain began laughing, a deep, chilling laugh. "That was fun... I should go and kill the rest this way..." Kain said to no one in particular. At that moment, Raven landed on Kain's shoulder, cawing at the scent.

"Oh, that's right my dear, I haven't fed you yet.... Well, how about you wait until after I'm done? there will be plenty of carrion for you then!" The raven cocked its head at its master, and then sharply rapped on the mask with its beak, causing Kain to flinch back. "Hey! stop being so spoiled, you will get a great meal! I just don't want you getting injured by these animals!" Raven cawed loudly, and started flipping some of Kain's hair. "Fine, I'm sorry for yelling at you... now, go perch somewhere safe so I can finish up here." Kain watched as the raven took off from his shoulder. Following its progress,Kain looked up in time to see a dark figure falling down toward him. His eyes widened in shock before he dashed backwards to give the figure space.
