Pov of an Assassin:
The night Zenos arrived in the city of Cartise.
I was sitting at a food stall on a busy street, and I was waiting for someone, the person I am waiting for is late, but I am a patient man, I need to be very patient in my line of work.
"I want another grilled fruit skewer." (I)
"I want some too and a stiff drink if you have any." (Riley)
"I have something here, but it's not very strong."
"Then give me the bottle." (Riley)
"You don't look well, lass." (I)
"Leave me alone." (Riley)
I reach out to touch the woman's shoulder, but she taps my hand before touching her, thus activating the telepathic magic.
"(You're late.)" (I)
"(Sorry, it took a while for the hypnosis magic item to wear off.)" (Riley)
"(I hate wearing this thing, my head feels like it's going to explode.)" (Riley)
"(Tell me you didn't kill Adventurer.)" (I)
"(I thought about taking my anger out on him, but I was alone when that thing wore off, after that, I came straight here when I realized it was past the agreed time.)" (Riley)
"(Did you make contact with the target?)" (I)
"(In the last 3 days we found 21 people whose features resemble the target, but only 5 were boys.)" (Riley)
"Looks like you got dumped, I'll get you a glass of juice on the house, here's your food."
"We can't always be lucky, but thanks buddy." (I)
I continue to eat and drink as does Riley as our mental conversation continues without anyone noticing.
"(Were any of the boys Target?)" (I)
"(None of them seemed to be Vampire, but there were two that caught my attention, one was being accompanied by a Dragonewt and the other was being accompanied by a female Demon.)" (Riley)
"Is that a Lesser Familiar?" (Irina)
"Yes, I call them Shadow Leeches." (I)
"When did you create this thing?" (Irius)
"I've been trying to create these Soulless Familiars since we left the Dark Continent, I needed to study more magical theory to do this, and I also needed to spend a lot of time meditating to figure out what form to give them." (I)
"It has to be a shape that has a strong connection with your mind, something engraved deep within you." (Irina)
"That's why I chose something I once was, I chose the shape of the race I was born into this world for." (I)
A Lesser Familiar is a soulless creature that feeds only on the energy of its creator, its power and abilities depend entirely on who created it, but these things cannot evolve and follow only instructions.
"I sent this little friend along with a few others into the shadows of the couple who tried to get me yesterday." (I)
"I thought they were Adventurers." (Ibuki)
"One of them was, but the other person, the woman was the one who tried to attack us today inside the Dungeon, I felt her Aura and in that brief moment I told this little thing to come back to me leaving the others in her shadow." (I)
"If I meditate I can connect with them, but I can't fully connect with them like I do with Nix and the others." (I)
"What do we do?" (Irina)
"I'll send two specialists to get her." (I)
As soon as I finished speaking, two people come out of my shadow accompanied by Fairies who go back inside the Dungeon after finishing delivering these two people.
"What did you call us for?" (Elsaris)
"Is this the city full of Dungeons?" (Kira)
"I have a little job for you two." (I)
"Who do we have to kill?" (Elsaris)
"Who spoke of killing someone?" (I)
Elsaris turns to Ibuki, so I can see that Ibuki is giving off slight murderous intent.
"We're not going to kill anyone, at least not before we get some answers." (I)
I place my finger on Kira's forehead and Elsaris meanwhile do non-elemental magic for simple telepathic magic, then share with them the information my little Familiar has given me such as where this woman is, what she looks like, her name, and a sample of her Aura.
"Bring this woman, she is SSS Grade so it shouldn't be difficult for you." (I)
