Constantinople

It was very warm that morning and it was time for another execution. A nobleman had raped and killed multiple women. Now he was going to be executed by one. Hilmeveda wore her black robe with the hood up and her black cloth mask covered her head and neck and fitted tightly. It didnt even have holes for the eyes or mouth but she could see through the material. She walked up to the execution block with her pole axe in her hands. The prisoner was brought up to the execution block and was chained to it. He had to sit against it, so that everyone could see him. A man read the prisoners crimes to the public and then it was time. Hilmeveda then took a quick swing and chopped through the mans neck with one stroke. The axe got stuck in the wooden block and Hilmeveda let go and picked up the head by the prisoners head and showed it to the people watching. The corpse was put in a coffin and the head was put on a spear for the rest of the day.
Hilmeveda then went to a street on the shore of the Bosporus near her home and pulled off her mask, revealing her slightly tanned skin, her beautiful face, her heterochrome green-blue eyes and her long black hair. She sat there and sang a beautiful song. Even though she was beautiful and all, people still made a careful detour around her because they knew who she was and a shiny pole axe with blood still splattered on its blade didnt make it any better.

Demia: Smirks coldly as she watched the execution. She fallows the Executioner. Watching her every movement of her body curiously. Demia was curious Because she herself was far from accustomed to walking like a woman. she was always to busy being a killer. She stops on the roof top above the woman. Seeing the targets she was waiting for. A dark smirk comes over her face.
"Those twins have been very bad boys. It's about time i show them the error of their ways"
She mumbles to herself. Then runs to the edge of the roof. Jumping of the edge. She drives one hidden assassins blade into the forehead of each twin. Dragging them down to the ground as she smirks. She looks back at the Executioner as she is stepping backwards slowly. She backs into a Group of Scholars and disappears effortlessly. But just before she went out of the Executioners sight. She blew her a playful kiss and winked. It wasn't actually a flirty kiss or wink. It was actually a jest at the fact they are both killers in their own way.
"Theirs nothing more amusing than a Legal Assassin"

Hilmeveda ran after the assassin. But then she ran into a man in a guards outfit. "Hey! Watch where you are going!" The man said. Then another guard said: "Show respect. She is a cousin of our beloved Sultan and the districts executioner. That woman could cut you in half with a single blow." But the guards were surprised when Hilmeveda said: "Sorry." and giggled. She tried to follow the assassin without being noticed. "I am interested in these assassins." She thought.

Andrea smiled, her mouth the only distinguishable part of her face in the deep shadow of her hood. She had finally found an Assassin--a legitimate one--and she was determined to follow her. The young woman swept through the crowd, keeping sharp, well-trained eyes on the Assassin woman who obviously wanted to vanish into the crowd. As she ducked effortlessly around people, Andrea started to wonder what she would say? 'Hey, can I kill people too'? 'Let me join your order, I love murdering people'? 'I don't mind separating a few heads from bodies so long as I get to join your cause'?
No, those wouldn't do.
Lost in her thoughts, Andrea lost sight of the Assassin.
"Damn," she grolwed to herself, her eyes darting around. There were too many people, and it was only one Assassin.
The young woman darted forward, crouched and weaving in and out of the legs of the townsfolk while occasionally popping her head up to look around. Was that--? No, too broad at the shoulder. That? No, wrong color.
There, and Andrea smiled again.
Andrea sidled up beside the Assassin and muttered, "Safety and peace, brother."

Demia: "Im a woman"
she says Bluntly before Jumping on a Horse pulled cart going the other way. as she is passing the Executioner. she jumps to land behind the Executioner. placing her Assassins Blade against her throat. but making it look like a romantic hug from behind. she leans up to whisper in her ear.
"Tell me why your Fallowing me. and i might not End your life Darling"

Andrea grinned. "It was meant as a greeting," she replied, before noticing the Assassin had vanished. "Damn," she growled, glancing about. She was having trouble finding the woman because of all the people. Andrea frowned, and she passed to a nearby building, scanning its walls before leaping upon it. The young woman's nimble fingers carried her up the building's face, and when she figured she was high enough above the crowd, she scanned the people for the Assassin woman while clinging to the side of the building. It was only the glint of the blade that gave the woman away, and when Andrea realized what was going on, she decided it was wisest to stay where she was.

The female assassin had noticed Hilmeveda and had her in her grip. "Did you not notice the blade that I am holding at your side? I am following you because I am just interested." She said. Suddenly a voice came from in front of them: "As I see, you are always getting in trouble cousin." It was the sultan in a cloak. "Dont give away my identity. I just need some time for myself. At the palace its always "Sultan this, sultan that"." That was Hilmevedas chance to free herself. She pushed the assassin off her back and twisted the assassins arm a bit. "No one threatens me. And cant you just come up to me, tap me on the shoulder and ask in a friendly manner? Its not like I am one of those dirty nobles." Hilmeveda said. Then the sultan said: "Actually you are. Otherwise you wouldnt be my cousin and an executioner." "I wasnt talking to you." Hilmeveda said. "Isnt it a bit dangerous for you to be walking outside of the palace alone. I dont want to save you in the last minute again." She then turned back to the assassin. "You dont have to be hostile towards me. You can trust me."

Demia: "trust Nobody"
she says before she looks at the Woman. cracking her own neck.
"if you wanted my trust. you should have answered me. but took no movement. i would have set you free"
she says before Running off into the crowd. she sees the other Assassin and smirks. she grabs a rope attached to a Massive Stone they People of the City are trying to put on a new Building. she cuts the two Support Ropes and the Stone falls toward the ground. Lifting Demia up into the air in it's place. She lets go when she is near the Roof. Landing on it. she whistles to the other Assassin to come up.
"i know it was a Greeting. now come talk"
she says before walking away from the edge.

Andrea smiled in admiration. Now that was what an Assassin should move like. The young woman scampered up the side of the building, swinging herself gracefully over the edge and up onto the roof. She straightened herself sharply and strode towards the Assassin woman while being wary enough to keep a safe distance between them. Andrea's intentions may not have been to attack the woman, but an Assassin's personal space should always be respected as her mother had said.
"I was hoping," Andrea said, "That I could find an Assassin in this town. My mother, Penelope Haydee, was an Assassin, and though she's dead now, I would like to follow in her footsteps."

Demia: "Well from what i have seen from you so far. You are well skilled tracking, climbing, and general escape. But what have you got for advanced skills?."
She asks looking at the girl with a friendly face. But yet no smile or emotion of any kind in it.
"And more importantly. Are you willing to kill somebody. Only going by the word of a message from an eagle, or the words of an Assassin leader. That they are bad people, no proof of your own?. Walk and talk with me. Im going to see what you have got for escape skills while we speak"
She says this before running toward the opposite edge of the building from where she came up. She dives from the side of the building grabbing the ledge of the next one doing as animal leap to land safely on the roof and continue running. She leaps from a slightly tall building to a significantly lower one. Landing with an instant knee bend and roll forward to a stand position and keep running. She jumps from building to building, kicking off walls, pulling epic rolls and dives. She eventually stops in the old bell tower in the middle of every thing. {I kept the run short. But basically all the leaps and rolls and crap where to give you plenty of time to speak. And if you have a problem with any thing she did being realistic. I refer you to the video on my character sheet. It shows all real things real people can do if they train their body properly and learn good Parkour.}

Andrea smiled and gave a short nod, doing her best to quell her excitement. "I'm one of the best thieves you'll find in the city," she said, "And stealth is my greatest strength. My aim is great as well. As for killing people, I've never been above taking the life of others if it were necessary, and I've always considered the Assassin cause necessary." Andrea watched as the Assassin woman vanished over the edge of the building and followed after her with a running start. She snagged a window ledge and slung herself over the edge of the building, dashing across the roof and leaping towards the next bit of architecture. Her fingers managed to find handholds from years of experience, and she climbed as effortlessly as a squirrel in a tree. The woman was always ahead of her, but Andrea never lost sight of the one she was following. One building after another passed by as she followed the Assassin woman towards the tall bell tower in the center of the city. The final hurtle was one she was used to, and she scaled the bell tower with ease.
"Escape is one of the things I'm best at," she said, breathing only a little heavier than normally.

Demia: Smirks and turns to the girl.
"Im not impressed"
She says giving the young Girl Tough love. Knowing it's the best way to get her trying harder.
"I don't want you to be good. I want you to be extraordinary. I want you to be side by side with me all the way. i want you to learn how to breath while you run. So you never run out of breath. I want you to learn to be the shadow upon your target. Nobody should even know you exist"

{Hey im gonna be Gone all weekend. i'll Miss yall allot. and will be back ASAP to post again. bye for now. and please nobody controle my Character. it's not a mistrust thing. i just dont like people trying to be my Character. to me it's as personal as if they where trying to be the real me}

{hey im back. i would ask if ya missed me. but don't look like any one was even here lol}

Andrea took a final, deep breath and exhaled it slowly. "I'm self-taught up to this point," she said, "And I want to learn. I'm going to learn." From under her cloak she removed the crossbow she had hidden there and scanned far below to the rooftops of the city. In the space of an instant, she had knocked and fired three shots, each of them narrowly missing guards down below. Andrea then replaced her bow with a slight movement and stepped to the side for the Assassin to inspect.

(Sorry for late reply, I've been pre-occupied)

{no problem. i just get a bit sarcastic when an RP goes silent. especially when it's one like this that i really really like}

Demia: Watches as the girl takes her shots. And looks at what she has done.
"That was a little more impressive. i would say im proud of you. But i don't want you getting a big head. Or thinking i care about you for a second. I'll train you, teach you every thing i know. but don't think for a second. That i'll baby you, or make your life easy. And don't think for even the slightest moment, that I'll hesitate to kill you where you stand. The second you become a problem to me in any way. Do what i say when i say it. And I'll be your beast friend, your mother, any thing i have to pretend to be in order to protect you. And help you, im not cruel you see. I just dont want to be wasting my precious time on you"
she says as she climbs up to the Windowsill of the Clock tower. and lays down in it.

[Aara]:
-Walks through a large crowed. Her body moving quickly through the people. She reaches a crowed gathered around her target. A self proclaimed holey man whom is cheating people out of their hard earned cash. Claiming that it's going toward the Church, but the Church hasn't gotten a single scent of it. Aara stands just behind the crowed, drawing her bow and an arrow from her back. She draws back the arrow taking aim at a small opening in the crowed the arrow would just make it through. The arrow zooms past between two peoples arms, past a child's ear just cutting a lock of her hair, the arrow goes past many different peoples. And finally the arrow buries itself right between the holey man's eyes, deep into his brain.- "A perfect shot" -She mumbles to herself before putting her bow on her back and running as she sees to Templar running toward her. She jumps grabbing a flower pot and swinging on it launching herself into the air, she catches her legs around a flag pole using it to swing herself up to grab a cloths line handing from the third Floor of a building. She cuts the line with her Assassins blade, swinging her down to kick one of the Templar knights into a cart of fertilizer. The rope snags on a flag pole above her swinging her up and she lets go of the rope throwing her up to land on a roof top. She runs across the edge of the roof, diving off the edge grabbing a rope that's pulling a stone up to use in construction. She stands on the stone until it rises over the top of the wall it's built for. Then she jumps to grab a crack in the wall of the bell tower. Climbing up and into the tower only to see two other Assassins already their.- "i always chose the only occupied tower in the city" -She says in a warm loving voice. Giving a tender smile in hopes to not start a fight.-

Hilmeveda sent the sultan back to the palace with some guards. She walked a bit further finding a couple men trying to threaten a family for money. It seemed as if the family was in debt to the men. "Whats going on here? Leave them alone." Hilmeveda said. Then one of the men said: "Leave this instant. There is nothing to see here. This family owes debt to the noble Kiselturk family." "How about I spare your lives if you leave that family alone. It wouldnt leave your intestines on the ground for the guards to clean up. I am Hilmeveda Dogen, royal executioner and cousin of the sultan!" Hilmeveda answered. The men started to laugh: "A woman who is an executioner? And she claims to be the cousin of the sultan." Hilmeveda grabbed her poleaxe and with one strike she cut one of the men right down the middle, having his two halves fall to the side. "I warned you." She said. Then men attacked her. She quickly blocked their attacks and chopped into their sides, even decapitating one. The rest gave up and ran away. "Thank you kind woman." The eldest son of the family said. Hilmeveda then answered: "There is no need for thanks. I was just doing my job."
Hilmeveda then went back to the palace. The sultan had told her that he had something for her that might be of interest to her. At the palace the sultan said: "Hilmeveda. We found a scroll in the Turkmen language that might be of interest to you. I know that you like reading old and historical writings." A servant then gave her the script. It was about the legend of a crystal sword left behind by the ancients. She promptly thanked the sultan and went to her house on the Bosporus strait. The scripture told of a crystal sword that had great power. It made people fall to their knees in obidience. It was supposed to be hidden in the Constantinopel area by the ancients. "Hmm. Interesting, if this would really exist I could end the suffering of the poor in Constantinopel." She said to herself.

Demia: Looks at the new Assassin and smirks.
"You again, Cant i get away from you for ten seconds?. Goddess your like an annoying stalker, but better looking"
She says with an evil laugh. Then she looks to Andrea and smiles.
"Say hello to my beast friend and the young lady i have spent most of my Assassination carrier partnered with"
She says with a cute giggle.

{Before any one asks. yes i know LeafeonFan / Leafy as i call her. and i cleared this with her on MSN last night}

Aara: -Looks at Andrea and waves gently. Then walks over and kisses Demia on the cheek. Hugging her close- "I see your baby sitting love" -She says playfully. Then smiles at Andrea- "Im sorry. please don't think me rude. Im honored to meet you" -She says before bowing Deeply- "Now for what brought me here. I was doing some research recently. Getting my nerd on as you call it. And i found an ancient scroll. Their are only two of these scrolls ever made. the real script and this copy. It talks about a weapon called the Crystal Sword . It's said to make people fall obedient. Basically do any thing the holder says. It's Said to have been hidden in the Constantinopel area by the Ancients. Might be worth checking out. and if i can find a copy so easy the Templar can to. so we better get it first"

The first clue was a stone tablet in a village on the European side of the bay. Hilmeveda took a boat to the other side and went into the village. She searched the outside of the houses. "No where is that stone tablet. It should be here somewhere." She thought. A bit outside of the village was a stone with greek writing engraved on it. It was some memorial for an old hero of ancient times but she then noticed the runes around it. Both in old turkish and in the gothic language. "Find the house of the sun and its light will hint your way." It said. Hilmeveda thought what the house of the sun could be and sat down next to the stone.

Demia: Pets Aara's head.
"Good job love. Im proud of you. Now lets follow these clues"
she says before leading the way. Not even knowing if they are fallowing. It takes her a bit but she finds the way. And is just getting their as Hilmeveda is reading it.
"Hey it's the moody Executioner that expects trust for nothing"
She says coldly. she dose not mean to be cruel but she hates being touched.

Hilmeveda noticed the assassins approaching from the village. "Well I guess history is right. The assassins are really out to find artifacts. I need that sword to end the oppression of the poor." Hilmeveda said. She also had other motives that were intended for good but were slightly megalomanical for example uniting the world to get rid of the suffering of those who werent lucky enough to be born into a noble family. "You might have trouble since it is written in classical greek and gothic. And the fact that it is a riddle might not help. If you are asking yourselves why I am here, well the sultan gave me an old scroll in Turkmen that his people dont need and I like reading and collecting ancient things. Are you also here for the crystal sword? Because I am willing to share depending on what you want."

[Aara]:
"our wish is to keep it out of the hands of the Worthless Templar scum. and i personally want it cuz i like Shiny things." -she says with a warm Giggle then Hugs Demia's arm and smiles- so who are you cutie -she says half teasing and half serious.

Demia: "Aara!!. You best not be cheating on me"
She says and gives Aara's cheek a little love tap. Then kisses it better
