Chapter 1:
Noctan was sitting on the roof of a small, orange, brick building that was near the Ravok Gate. He was exploring the city to learn the various rooftops and alleyways of the city, so he could find his way around easier. As all do, he eventually grew tired and decided to take a short break. During which he was watching all the people entering the city. After a short while he noticed a small, blue colored boat straying of the course of the others. It seemed to be heading toward him. Silently cursing his luck, he got down on his stomach and crawled to the edge of the small building, pulling his dagger out of it's sheath. He hadn't been seen in his Dhani form yet, and he didn't plan on being seen in it today. He watched as two men got out of the boat and walked into the alleyway below him. One of them had short, black hair and was wearing a green wool jacket and cotton pants, with blue eyes. The other had short brown hair, green eyes, and simple wool clothing. "Thank you for taking me into the city," the black-haired man said. Noctan figured that the brown-haired man must have been a ferryman. "I will find my way to the upper level from here. "Oh, my apologies, here is your pay." Then, quick as a flash, the man pulled out the dagger and stabbed the man.

Noctan gripped his dagger's hilt. He was not expecting this. "This could be interesting," he whispered to himself.

Chapter 2:

Noctan had been on his target for the last bell, following him through the upper level of Ravok. Noctan always had trouble in the busy streets, he was not used to this many people on them. He would have followed the killer from the rooftops, but did not want to risk detection. Eventually he followed the man to a small inn. Most of the people in the vicinity of the inn were Ebonstryfe, watching everyone with a serious gaze. Noctan also noticed several small stands selling various goods nearby. So the Ebonstryfe wouldn't get suspicious, as they all suffer from paranoia, Noctan walked toward one of the shops, pretending to look at goods. After a while he then went inside the inn that the killer entered.

It was a typical inn. It had lanterns aligning the white, wooden walls, with a wooden desk where the innkeeper sat. Noctan noticed the desk had the mark of Rhysol carved into it. There was a hallway on the left and right sides of the room. Noctan noticed the killer entering the third room down the right hallway. The innkeeper interrupted Noctan's thoughts with a "How may I help you?" Noctan eyed the innkeeper. He had graying hair, matching his blue eyes and white clothing. "Yes, actually. I would like to rent a room for the night," Noctan replied. "Common rooms are ten silver mizas a night, while luxury rooms are five gold mizas a night," the inkeeper said. "I'll take a common room," Noctan said, handing him the mizas. The innkeeper handed him the key to his room. Noctan noticed his room was right next door to the target's. "Well, my friend," Noctan murmured to himself, smiling. "you are going to make an unexpected checkout."
