the same granit that witch this canyon is made from. The moon was coverd by the cloudes witch would help him sneak close almost unnoticed by the gaurdes and watch men. For even thoue thies where men he once called brethren they where worriers of the night. 'Assassins they may be' he thout but they don't have my skills or eyes. With out even a concise effort called upon his powres his golden eyes glowed pulpels turnd in to slits like cat's do in bright light. every thing around him be came Cristal clear to him. in an instant he moved silntly thruoe the trees. Not even a wisper of a sound was made even when he steped on the old leaves that where on the ground. Up above he saw a golden glow from the life with in the birds nest. And another glow from grope of sleeping deer in the clearing up a head. 'Best to go aroud them he thout or they might get startled by my presences giving clear waring of to my enemy's. No That would tack longer.' he thout to him self he let hs power of sight leave him it darked instantly but he would alarm the dear. If he didn't surprise his powers long enof to sneck throu the tall grass and sleeping deer. When he was close to he dear he ducked in to the grass crawling thru the heard of sleeping dear. he whent silntily and passed only Inches fome the sleepimg deer sweet driped down his forehead. he was so close to one of the deer if he made just a slite a just movement with his arm to the right he would be touching one of the deer. He didn't even dare to breath. one wrong move he would be in the middel of a stamped. 'what a way to go' he thout a few mintes later he was back out and in to the trees. "Man that took soome skill to sneak thruo thuoes deer old freind."
At the sound of the voice he leaped forwarded starteld by the voice. He turd around throwing knives at he ready. Calling on his powers he saw clearly. The shadows welcomed his eyes. He saw the tall tell glow around there bodies of ten men. there where ten men. a slite blueish glow mixed in with the gold frome. The slite bit of Ki-re in there clothes and wepons. no wonder he didnt notice them not only where they whering the same buleish gray suit but theres like his was encanted just bit to help consile ones self in the dark and the encant --ments and there wepones. no doute where they all so magicaly enchanted to keep them sharpend. The man who spoke steped froword frome the shadows. Hood over his face to conscile it in the shadows but his face was easely visubule to him any way. "Long time no see Kar" the supries falshed brefliy over his face then was gone. "In deed it been to long and im truly impressed seanking thur the deer insted of going around them. Luckly me and the others. came to get some fresh meat. and saw you comeing. Brillent plan I might say. We thou of sooting at you to startle the deer but. You wold have been traplied to death. Lucky for you the conscile thinks you can still be swade to come back and that. you will see the truth agin. Or we would have done it."
There was movement of to is right a flash frome his risest and the man fell dead. "you under east a mate me Kar. And it will be ur last thats for shuer" then he move like a bluer sword draw fralshing in to night seven more men lay dead. "Now tell me kar what do you know of my family" fear showed plan on kar's face "there dead and you know it. only one got a way of coureses the counsile let your tratoress son get a way to draw you to them." the trator part came out in a sneer. "No! the councel are tratores they have be come crupeted and thuse doom them selves" a quik jurk of his arm and kar was dead. A nife producing from his heart. He tured to the last man frozen in his crouche feer planly showing on his face. "Man I would tell you that youlook constipated but that look on your face says other wise. Im I right if had ur pants down just a bit. you would not have a need to wash them latter would you" the man nod his head look imbaersed at his now soild pants. Well I sopeses i did just kill nine highly skilled assassins. So you have a good reson to be scared. don't you" another nod from the man "how old are you?" "seventeen sir iv only recently joined the rankes sir they truly under estimated you sir"
the the man said in a tremblig voice "did they well must be to boust the confidaencs of the reast of the men then. Am I right " the man looked about to fainte. "If you call me sir one more time I'll kill you understand. whats your name? come on out with it"
"Roger is my name si" he stopped caught himself before saying sir agin "there now you learn quick. Good now tell me what You know of my family. Do any still live?"
"Yes" Roger managed to squeek out " your youngest I believe the one born before her mothers death." 'So his twin sister did live even thou she was still born amazing.'
Now he had to go get her, save her, as he did her brother. Who he leaft in the care of Max, so far from where he's was at now. "Roger you're new to the order right" a brief silence then "Yes I am" " Tell me the code to which you swore your self in by." Roger did as asked and recited the oath and he noticed a slit change in it. "Roger did you put the Ring on yet"
"No sir they are in the process of puting the encantments of binding on them as we speak I was to report back tomorrow to swear in again" Blade steped closer and hit him directly in the nose. Roger whent sparling in the dirt. "I told you not to call me sir fills like im an old geyser who your helping to cross the sreet." Roger grunted and spit out some teeth on to the ground. "then what shall I call you." "you can call me Blade" he said while helping Roger up. real fear crossed Rogers face as if the name confirmed the identity of who was before him. "Im going to tell you the actual code. That witch the order used, ok, and when you swearing in tomorrow you will be bound to it insted of that twisted version you just told me. Which has been turnd just enough to suit the counsels needs. and seinc there going to swere all of you in tomarow at the same time they wont know the difference. between there version
and the one you will be saying. Not only that but I what you to have eight of your frindes or people You know and trust with your life to say it to. Can you do that for me Roger." Roger noded his head and thought about it for a while digesting what balde said to him. Then in a nice clear voice Said "Of cores I can." " Good" said Blade. he quickly told him the original version of the oath. Roger nodded. "I got it but after that then what" "Now Roger what I want is not going to be easy but after you say the oath. You will be bound to the code and not to mention it is an realy old oath in deed. I whant you and those you have do the same.

I will be at the inn called the tankard yes I know its not the most imaginative name for an inn but I didnt name it. Just meet me there. Oh and I sewer by all that is holy if You betray me i'll kill you myself got it."


That night Roger returned to the keep and lay in bed piloting out. What he was about to do tomorrow and who to ask to go along with him in this crazy scheme that Blade thout up.
man what a night Blade had asked for his help. The legendary Blade probly the best assassin in the order. had ask him for help. His frineds where not going to believe this. Roger sat bolt right up whene he header some one comeing down the hall. Who ever it was passed by the room with out incident. A few nerve recking moments past then there was a soft nock at the door. He calmed him self down and said. "Enter" his eight friends that shared the room whith him came in to the room. Ok so they whernt all realy his frineds but at least four of them where. the others for whernt. As a mater of fact they where his enemies.

"You losers can quit now while you still can. Or I'll beat the shit out of you right now!" Roger spoke for thr fist time "like to see you try kairist. considering you can't even kill a fly that is."

"Or has pore little roger just stumbled down the stares agin" more laughter rang out frome his friends. When more people came in.
