Assassin's Blood - Prologue
Sicarius Sanguine - Prologue
"I don't think you understand the importance of this mission agent."
"Yes Sir I do understand, it's just-"
"Just what? Why are u hesitent to accept this mission? Of all the dangerous missions you've been on why does this one make you cower?"
"...Cower?"
"Yes, I can see it in you. You're afraid."
"No sir I'm not a-"
"Yes you are!! Don't lie to me!!"
...sigh... "I don't know anything about them..."
"You're human, you'll blend right in."
"I don't know anything about their culture."
"You've gone into places without knowing their cultures, why is this any different?"
"They'll expect me to know of their culrure! They'll be suspicious when i dont act right."
"No they won't, Earth is a planet entirely of humans, yes, but they have more than 200 countries, there are dozens of religions on that world, and hundreds of languages, but english is their main language and you were taught english years ago so you could operate on earth."
"Yes yes i know all that. I've read up and studied my own species. Why wouldn't I?"
"Then you should be exited for this experience, take some vacation time there after you complete the task."
"I don't think i'm the best chioce for this assignment. You have other human agents."
"But you've never failed a task. That is why I like you."
...sigh...
"This mission is too important to put any of my other human agents into who arn't as skilled as you, and it's too sensitive a mission to land a non human on that world. You're our best shot."
"You are right Master-"
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!!!"
Zars smiled. "It's true though."
"I dont care. Now you have what you need and you know what you need to do, so land your ship on earth and get this done."
"Yes Sanguinem Fur."
The raven on the screen smiled at the Latin nickname he'd come to like. "Good luck Zars."
With that, the screen went blank, and Zars reached over and flicked the thrusters on.
