Somewhere at the City of Dulim, south from Alghar capital.

The shadow figure was jumping from roof to roof, silently moving into his destination in the cover of the night. As the figure was moving none single sound was made, due to the magic [Muffle], that makes user steps made no noise at all. That magic spell is mostly used by assassins and hunters. The figure stopped at bricked chimney of one of the houses and looked directly into the mansion. 'This is my target area, I wonder where my target is?'  Thought the assassin.

The shadow quickly jumped over the wall that protected and separated the unwanted people from entering into the beautiful grounds of mansion. The area around of the mansion was decorated with various statues, fountains and even few vegetables gardens.

As the assassin got closer, he channeled mana into his eyes, by doing so the assassin could see better in the night, but unlike the [Night Vision] spell, this one allows the person to seek, any mana essence, traps and hidden doors, it is called a [Eagle Eye] due to fact, that the person ayes become like an eagle.

The assassin quickly looked around the mansion, as the Intel told, there should be a hidden entrance nearby. The Assassin didn't waste any time as he found, the hidden switch within one of the dried out fountain. Without the delay, he pressed the stone button. From the bottom of the fountain has opened a passage that lead into the underground.

'Perfect, those idiots will no know, what hit them'

The assassin was walking down the stairs, he glanced over the each walls to check if there any hidden traps waiting for him. As he walked, he could slowly hear voices in the distance. As the voices becomes clear, he concealed himself into the darkness using [Shadow Step]. 'Could it be a trap? No, i used my Eagle Aye and did not, sensed any traps. It must be coincidence'. He unsheathed hidden daggers, reading himself for the ambush.

"This way my lord!" said an armored knight, wearing half-plated armor. He seem to be around his mid 40, as his short beard had little marks of graying from old. Behind was a well looking man, long hair and blue eyes. He was wearing simple but expensive clothes for traveling. The young man hands were squeezing an amulet that was hanging around his neck.  "Sir Ronald, we cannot abandon my father!" replied young noble man. 

"You father knew that 'They' were going to kill him, that's why he begged me to abandon him, and lead you to the safety"

replied the knight named Ronald, they continued their escape thru-out the passage. 

As they passed the Assassin, who successfully made him self one within the shadows, he heard last words from the knight as they were near the exit. 

"Don't worry kid, you father made sure, that you will be safe with me, he also provided us with another home for us to live." said Ronald as he opened the exit of the passage.

'hmnn, the noble knew I was coming then? but how? Those that mean other guild of assassin is after my target, but why?' thought the assassin as he left the shadows, he continued marching onward.

Meanwhile in on of the inn located on the outskirts near the emerald gardens, the large group of people in the inn surrounded, two people at the table.

 Those two were currently fighting, not any fight for life or dead, but just simply a drinking contests. On the right was a elven female, long golden hair was hanging till the waist, slender and beautiful body, green eyes that everyone could lost themselves and of course typical racial feature of elves, pointy ears.

 She was wearing a green colored leather armor, and next to her laid her quiver and longbow. Opposite her was sitting a dwarf,  Long black hair with some plaints, also as typical for dwarfs he hag a astonishing long black beard, many people wondered how its possible for dwarfs to have such a long beards and never to trip on them. Unlike his opponent the dwarf wasn't wearing any armor nor he has any weapons, near to him was just simple lute and guitar, but even he was seem defenseless he was really strong.

 His golden, like bear eyes was ogling the elf, as he drank another glass of the most expensive alcohol.

*Burp* the dwarf burped so load that give a huge applause from the audience.

"Another one! Please!" Shouted, cheerfully

"I knew the Dwarfs were total drunks, as they could drank three barrels of bear and still standing, but seeing in the person, that a miracle!" Shouted one guy from the audience

"But look he drank at least 12 barrels, 12 BARRELS! He is a monster, I tell you!" Shouted another.

"Look miss, you shouldn't never make a drinking contest with a dwarf" Said an Innkeeper toward elves.

The innkeeper was fat but strong, with a scar on his bald head and was looking around with cunning smile and eyes. He knew that dwarfs liked to drink a lot, but he wasn't expect that his inn will soon out run out of alcohol, but at last he was calm because he knew that dwarfs always keeps their promise of payment, not only that he will also get a little of renown as a elf visited his inn and also took part take into the drinking contest.

"Sorry Old man, but *Hic* I am not giving up *Hic*, not yet anyway *Hic*" said the lady elf to the innkeeper, showing clearly that she was at the edge of being defeated by the annoying dwarf, who was happily smiling like a fool as a frothy bear leaved marks on his beard, while swinging his golden mug right to left. 

"*Hic* " 'How this situation happens to me exactly?'  She was searching in her thoughts looking for answer. 

Let's back to the beginning, when all this started.
