The year is 1682 in the world of Restaria. It is a world in a universe similar to the one of earth only slight differences. The main being each person of noble blood and birth has two colours to their name which they mush wear. They are chosen by the parents and signify an important thing to the parent or the child on that day. An exception to this is men of noble birth, becoming guard or the king. Then they wear the colours of the king or queen. The men that ware the kings colour fight the wars and defend in other lands. The guards of the castle answer the queen and where her colours. Men may also wear the royal child's colours. If given to the man as a charge to defend. Even then, these men wear their colours as gloves and other accessories like things and around the hilt of their swords. Or at formal gatherings they wear their own. They are in what earth would call the Renaissance. A war is going on between the countries Ataria land of the sea and Ecariso the land of sun. Across the ocian from each other the two have been at each other for generations. Not many people even know why any more.

Name: Aina Estiato

Age: Twenty Four

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bi, with a preference to females.

Height: Slightly shorter than an average woman.

Weight: She is athletic, well-built and fit for someone in her line of work.

Personality: Despite her line of 'work', Cynthia can be rather childish and odd-behaved. She never tends to take anything seriously at times. Nor does she ever listen to what people advice her. She does admire getting what she wants, especially when her eyes lay upon the thing she requires.

She tries to put on a good first impression when she is working, though. She tries her best to keep her outer image serious but within; she is childish and would comment about anything as if it was a joke. For example, if someone was speaking of something serious and quiet important, she would randomly laugh or giggle.







 
Mercy, the princess was sleeping in her all white and blue bedroom. Her covers were blue and her nightgown white. She slept peacfully the dark blue curtain covering the window of her tower so she could rest. The window blew through it bellowing in the strong autum wind. Though she did not notice. Her white hair over her face as she slept, a soft snore on her lips. The girl had her daggers tucked away in her bed, just in case and a door beside her walking wardrobe lead to her knight protecters room, Jon how. He had looked after her from a young age for both of them. She was a heavy sleeper the noise of guards marchig past did not wake her.


Jon on the other hand in his ivory and green room with hints of white and blue slept very lightly and each band going past disturbed his sleep even if not waking him. The man esed hin his underclothes not having proper not clothes, by choice. His swod was tucked neatly under his bed his armout on a bronze figur in the cornder of the room. He had been sleeping before the princess got to sleep but he woul still wake before her come morning.

Aina was an expert assassin, but she did have her flaws. But climbing? Was one of the many things she could do. Biting on her dagger, the woman had two hooks held with her hands as she used them to climb the brick tower.


When she finally had reached the window, it was the target she was after. Heh, finally. All she had to do is kill the princess and escape, alive. What could ever go wrong? Once she reached the window she pushed it open to let the lovely breeze of autumn wind blow in. She looked at a white haired woman snoring lightly on the bed, the princess. "Sheesh, who knew she could be beautiful?"


She wasn't informed about a Knight whom will protect her, she was unaware. When she climbed in she gently closed the window behind her and latched it closed before turning to the woman.


Step by step she finally was very close to her. She would suddenly take the dagger in her left hand and with her right hand she covers the princess's mouth as the knife presses against her neck.
 
As the princess suddenly lost her ability to breath for a moment she woke up. It didn't matter how heavy a person sept if they flet they were suffocating they would walk. The princess not knew to doing so was not alarmed as she woke until she saw the dark haired women standing over her and felt the cold dagger on her her neck. Her deep green eyes widened and her chest expanded more noticablly as she breathed harder. Though she tried to keep some what calm with a lot of concentration as she went to raise her empty fist to her head board.


The night still sleeping now the patrols had gone was peaceful, not hearing the window open and close though he may have if he had been still half awake from the armoured men. The man did not snore and was silent in his room. Luckily for him this would give an advantage to him when h was alerted to the women's precence in his charges room.
 
The girl removed her hand to give the princess the ability to breath back. "Not a single movement." She kept the steel against her neck, it had carvings of her Kingdom's banner. She was nervous to a certain point, she wasn't that much of an experienced Assassin. This is only her fourth target, and this one so far is the biggest she had ever been assigned to murder. Or is she?
 
The girl nodded keeping her hand up by the head board. For now she wasn't going to aggravate the women any more. This was the first time an assassin had come at night to kill her. Most were archers and taken down quickly. Her arm was shaking slightly as she held it up. If she was going to need the knight and loudish knock to her head board would hopefully wake him. Her eyes moved down to the dagger and she saw the flag emblem and frowned. This war had nothing to do with her, why was she the one being targeted. Not that she wanted her parents to be the targets either. If she could choose she would want it over. No one could even tell her what the war was over. Just it was a war that started generations ago.
 
"Now. A shame I will have to.. kill such a pretty thing as you; but I do not want to return empty handed and get beheaded. Since.. I am not a savage I will give you last words before I murder you. Any messages you would want me to.. deliver after your death I also would deliver." She may have been an Assassin, but she wouldn't kill people 'just like that.' She was rather nervous, it is obvious. Her constant gaze behind her back, her sweating forehead. The Assassin didn't care about the war, she gained money from it after all. Every target she earned a certain amount of coins, a lot of them.
 
She watched her and let out a breath she had been holding. The princess nodded and spoke. "thank-you." she said softly. Though the women didn't realise her mistake. The princess raised her voice for the next part not terribly loud but enough for it to carry her voice into Jon's room and wake him she hoped. "I would like you to tell Jon. That he should have woken his lazy arse up." Her voice getting louder as she spoke still soft and not so loud she hoped that it would arouse her suspision. Her arm game down getting saw from holding it there. The man moved getting disturbed by the words. Then his eyes shot open, the words entering his mind. He quietly slipped out of the bed and pulled his unsheathed sword out from under his bed going to the door. He waited a minute before going though quickly. He robe like garments not restricting his movement to much.
 
She listened her and frowned. She realized that it was a mistake after she had finished speaking, she quickly threw the knife on the floor. "Ugh. She spoke, "I think I am better off surviving as a savage." She sighed and raised her arms, yielding to the Knight who came in the room. A curse or two was mumbled under her breath.


She felt like a fool. "I should have just sliced your neck. It would've been another step closer to ending the war, anyway." Regret is the only thing she felt right now, nothing but regret.
 
The knight came over and took her knives. "That would be impossible she has nothing to do with the war. It started years before her birth." It did before his too but she didn't need to know how old or young her was. He looked the woman over. She did not seem someone they would have sent to kill a princess especially by the inexperience she seemed to have. He grabbed her arm and forced her to kneel as the princes slipped out of her her small frame coming round to them.
 
She was forced to kneel, offering no resistance. "Ugh. What are you going to do now, make a public example of me?" She was scared, but she did her best to hide it. She did not want to die, for now, she wanted to look strong and tough. She wanted people to think of her as a strong person, she is physically, but not in the inside; she's week and fragile and quickly hurt by the simplest of words.
 
The knight held her down and looked at the princess who seemed intrigued by the lady.


"My father is not home and my mother can not give a death penalty." The knight nodded. "Could you go and get her, Mercy? While I keep her here." He said to the princess who frowned. "Should we disturb her she would be sleeping." The knight frowned of course we do." The princess nodded and went to leave.
 
Aina stood up rubbing her wrist. She was irritated. "Give me one reason on why I should not murder you while he is gone?" She spoke as she took a step closer. "I may no have weapons, but I can certainly hit hard." Aina then said, "I can also run away before he arrives here. You are a princess, busy fixing your hair. I doubt you can fight or overpower me."
 
She frowned and the comment and went the other side of her bed and moved, leaning on her mattress. Or so it looked like. She was not strong but that was more due to her size than lack of trying and can defend her self a bit. Her one hand was lower than the other to get her dagger. "I can try and you would not get far with all the patrols. One would get you." She said her voice shaking a bit, not liking to have been the one left with her. The woman was taller than her and a trained fighter she wouldn't be able to do much if she did ducide to go for her now. Though she ment what she said about her not getting far.
 
"True. But I came in unnoticed, getting out should be much easier." She sighed and shrugged, going to lean against the wall. "Well, what will you do with me?" The assassin asked. She hoped she wasn't going to die. "So a war is going for decades and no one knows why. It's.. sort of not a reason to let a war continue, we're basically in war for no reason." She scoffs. "That is stupid."
 
"I know that." She said frowning. She ignored the question about what they would do with her. She honestly had no idea what her mother would choose. The women had a short temper at the best of times. "hse was ot a women you wanted to wake from slumber. There was a sound of light and quick foot steps followed by a slower heavier pair. The queen cam into the room, a tall graceful women with dark hair and a darker skin than her daughter. The look on the woman's face lessoned the beauty of it. She walked over to the woman before her daughter, he night gown trailing behind her. The knight alked in and looked at the princess. Waiting till morning was a better idea. He thought himselfand went to the princess who was now relaxed. Thequeen looked her over as she thought her tired brain trying to get straight before she spoke.


"What house sent you?" She wanted to know if this was the royals or another high family of the land had sent her.
