[Raven]

---

Raven had,like many times before, stalked her prey at the Royal Court of Light. But tonight ended much differently than she had planned. As the deligation and representatives began to trickle in, her eyes set on one Ragnar Teach. She had heard of this man before. Yet still knew little about him. As they all entered the room, she wasted no time in striking, but as close as she came to killing him, he managed to slip onto the teleporter and her would be final blow connected to the stone wall behind where Ragnar stood.

With the room now up at arms, she had to make a quick exit. she steped onto the teleporter and found herself downstairs. Quickly she used an smoke bomb and hid from those who wished her dead. But bound by honor, she could not leave until one of the RCL fell by her kama.

Another mage stood near her position and was about to reveal her location. Like her first attack, the mage was caught off guard as in it took only a feww well placed strikes to kill the mage. But not before another had hit her with the explosion spell. The deed done, she used her second smoke bomb to hide. But her thirst for blood was not quenched. The taunting of Ragnar didn't help stem her urge to bury her Kama in his back. Within seconds, Ragnar felt a sting on his back as both hits made a good landing on the target. But once again, Ragnar was quick and healed before the final blow would finish him.

With her chances for blood spent, she used her last smoke bomb. She was safe, yet the urge to kill was still there. Ragnar's taunts grew even louder. She put her kama down and sank her head down in thought.

She said her final prayer silently to herself

"The angels sing a lullaby for my tears of desperation. My hands were gifted with the ability to kill, my body I have kept in condition for the rigors of combat. Yet I fade. I fade like the petals that have stoped falling. I have drawn enough blood. I will kill no more. It is my time..."

She looks up and notices Ragnar walk past her. She shouts out in a defiant voice, Knowing these would be her last words. "Your final days are drawing near Ragnar!" She was then assaulted by the mob that demanded justice of their own. Too long have they waited for this day. and they all had every intention of collecting on that justice. The last thing Raven sees is flames engulfing her as everything goes dark.

[Ragnar Teach]

Still confused at all around him, and trying to make sense of all these people that knew him before he lost his memories, Ragnar sat at the Royal Court of Light meeting watching all the people, the one Molly who was apparently his ex wife, seemed to be in charge here.

Suddenly a masked woman apeared and attacked him, chasing him, not fully armored, down the teleporter to heal. The encounters ensued, Ragnar building in a rage for reasons he didn't understand as yelled at the assassin. Soon the woman errored and she suffered at his flames, falling to the ground. Ragnar stopped and looked at her dead body wondering what in his past life he had done to stir her ire so.
