Vizzik knew he was dead but he had to at least try. This was his sister listed on the contract! He knew that the client had no idea but it was an official assignment of the assassin’s guild. They had stamped it and accepted payment. Somebody at the guild had it in for him but that didn’t matter right now, his sister’s life was at stake.

Vizzik dropped from the balcony of his family home and stole into his sister’s room. He found her sleeping naked in her bed and the sight did terrible things to him despite his best efforts to the contrary. He woke her and she started to panic until he showed her his face. She didn’t know he was an assassin, none of his family did.

He got her dressed and in a set of traveler’s clothes and gave her all the money he had as well as snagging a bit from their parents. He left them a note explaining things and left with his sister. As soon as he had her out of the city he told her to never come back because someone wanted her dead. She got a look of shame on her face and told him about the man who wanted to force her to marry him so he could take their family’s fortunes.

Vizzik knew that he would never see his sister again because he would be dead after this. He told his sister to stay gone until she got word from their parents and sent her to the next town over. He then went to the house of the scum who had put a price on his sister’s head. There he found another assassin waiting for him. The one waiting was a rival in his class and not unexpected.

Vizzik fought fiercely and managed to kill his rival assassin but not before being poisoned. He then went in and killed the scum and his retainers. He made his way back to his family home, already fading in and out. He woke his father and explained everything to the shocked man and asked that he take his hood to the assassin’s guild as proof before sending for his sister.

Thankfully he had an older brother to inherit the family he thought as he finally faded to blackness. Then he got another shock. There stood the god of death, his own god. “You made a vow to me. You swore to kill all impartially, You were one who would be immune to death eventually if only you had followed through. And for what? Family. Impartiality makes no exceptions and you need make no excuses. What’s done is done. You are banished to the void.”
