"Where I Am?" she thinks to herself sitting in a chair in an empty space. As nothingness surrounds her and eclipses her mind, only one thought stays "So this is it..". She has accepted that this is the end the for herself. All of her life choices and it's just empty. "Do you truly believe this is it?" a voice asks her as it throws a dagger from behind her and it hits a target shattering an enormous mirror with large shards falling down showing her life story.
*Moments with family and the happiness that warmed her heart*
*Moments of joy she felt in fulfilling something she could never dream off*
*The day her whole family was taken from her a monster wave*
*Finding some semblance of peace with her grandmother until she returned right back to pain*
*The day she was chosen as an EVO as she was wallowing in despair from her life*
They keep flashing showing and reminding her the life she has lived. Forgotten memories resurface and bring back old scars that were once lost. "Pain is a part of the journey that we all go through in life". "Without pain.." He moves right in front of saying "Do you truly ever feel..". The tears from old memories and birds that glide right past her face causing her to look blown away.
The darkness changes to a clear sky with the sun setting.
"Sophie" says Arthur as he gets closer to her and he puts 2 fingers on her forehead saying "It's time to wake up" as he pushes her and it feels like she is falling down and she slowly opens her eyes and sees him sitting there.
She looks at him, but her vision is blurry until she sees him there with a smile on his face. She smiles as well saying his name "Arthur" she says gently as she follows it up with whispering "i missed you".
He explains to her everything that happened while she was asleep. While sitting up and listening to him, she breaks down in relief weeping. Arthur places her head on his shoulder as she wraps her arms around him.
As Arthur is leaving, she asks him "Will I get to see you again?". He doesn't reply, just waving as he leaves.
"Yeah I'm okay" he reiterates to his mother and says "I just wanted to hear your voice". Soon after that he hangs up the phone as he is watching them enter a club in the entertainment district. "My prey have arrived" he says. Arthur looks at his clothes and thinks to himself "I don't look the part" as he has shabby clothes on.
He walks past a group of women and he gets looks of surprise to admiration as they stare at him. Walking to aura and elegance, Arthur is adored upon with eyes of admiration and jealously.
He was granted entrance into the club, he walks around for a few minutes and finally arrives at the private room that the executives are in. He stands in front of the door lamenting to himself.
"Ok so these 4 are the ones he wants me to kill" He uses his Odin eyes and sees that they are D-C ranks and places his hand on his chin twisting his head side ways thinking "Killing them will be tricky but not that hard". It hits him and the guard speaks to him "Leave if you're not a guest" he says firmly, but Arthur wasn't listening and the guard walks towards him. "I won't say it again". The guard coats his hand with mana and
SNAP
The guards neck twisted and his body drops to the floor without knowing what happened. "Huh" he thinks to himself before going down. "Hey man, Are you okay?" asks Arthur as he taps his shoulder. The guard wakes up as he was standing there ready to fight. "Here's my badge" says Arthur as he shows him a Raiders pin which only the upper echelon have. "Yeah yeah" "You can go in" says the guard confused and perplex as to what is even going on.
Arthur enters the room with a disguise on. He is wearing a black cloak covering his whole body and his face is shaded in darkness with only his eyes glowing. The execs are having a good time with their partners and enjoying themselves until one of the girls notices him. She cowers saying "Who is that?". The execs don't fear and one of the execs brimming with confidence, sips his drink and asks "Who are you?" with a fierce glare.
He does a one handed bow saying "I am Loki". "I was hired to kill you all". The fun happy going attitude changes and the game faces come on. "Leave" says the leader and the women go. They leave the room and a Mexican stand off begins.
After Loki said that, the alpha at the centre of the room relax himself leaning back on the sofa looking at Loki's mana and says "Oh" "and why is that?". "My client wanted me to do this, but unlucky for him I know I can get more from his boss".
"Boss?" "What is he talking" they ask amongst each other. The leader thinks to himself for a moment and then just starts to absurdly laugh out loud. Some look at him confused and then one answers "Oh" "By boss he must the guild master and because he knows who we are, his client must be the Thomas". Then it all clicks for them and their focus is back on Loki.
"So what can you do for us?" asks the leader. Loki ponders for a moment and then exclaims saying "Ah". "A little birdy told me that he might know when a new opening might happen" he moves in closer saying "and it's a C rank". They all sit up and show interest. "and when..." asks one of the execs, but Loki starts to laugh absurdly.
"Tell your boss to contact me" he says before clicking his fingers and dispersing into darkness. They all look at each other and then at the leader for a moment. Only one thought is resonating with all of them. "How are be suppose to contact him??".
The leader reaches into his jacket pocket to get out a cigar and feels something in there. A black card with just a number on there. The others look at him shocked, but he just smiles.
