Finally Ny had learned what events were about to take place. It seemed as though the pig shaped man, Dorion wanted the other man’s head. Why, she still did not know, but she did not need to know. Then there would be a smaller pig shaped man. Syndre said that neither of them would be much trouble, but their guards would be. Ny, Syndre and Robert were to kill them all. Killing had never been pleasant for the woman, but if the night called for it, then that is what she would do. This thought manifested and various directions this night’s events could take made Ny’s smile turn into a frown. The drug she had recently inhaled amplified these thoughts making the events seem even more intimidating. What if the men realized that Robert was not really dead? They would kill all three of them and then suffer no ill effects. A façade had to be firmly in place tonight for the plan to work at all. Her hesitation could get them all killed, and the woman would need to be on top of things to prevent that from happening. Syndre had motioned for her to pick up the other man’s feet and grasping his large ankles, she and the rogue carried the large man with much difficulty to the door of the house owned by Dorion. The man stayed limp as Syndre set his back down against the ground. The rogue had carried more of the man’s weight then Ny had, but even so, her back was a bit sore from carrying the large man. She set his ankles down and then smiled slightly at Syndre as he grabbed a paper from his pocket. The smile disappeared as the rogue knocked on the wealthy man’s door. Presumably, a guard answered telling Syndre that the pig like man did not accept visitors at this hour. Of course, any wealthy citizen of Ravok would not accept visitors at this time for the evil portion of Ravok was out at this time more than any other time. As her friend opened the paper for the guard to see, the door opened further, but just enough so that the guard could grab the paper from Syndre. Being significantly taller than herself, the guard was about Syndre’s height, but the other man was thicker. It was a good thing that Ny had her daggers with her for as the man eyed her, the hate in his face was obvious. His question was about her, but the rogue had answered. It was probably better for she did not trust herself to speak, at least not yet. It wouldn’t be long before she could pull off the act that the night required her to. As the Syndre continued to speak, his words were very convincing and the man opened the elaborate door. As Syndre turned around Ny nodded slightly and together they lifted Robert once again. Inside, the room was beautifully furnished and after they cleared the doorway, the guard closed the door behind them. The drug made her nervousness infest her body but she refused to outwardly show it. The feeling of being trapped in a house with quite a few men who could possibly kill you later tonight was just a little unnerving. They set Robert down on the floor in the middle of the elaborate room and as Ny put his feet on the ground she could see her hand trembling a bit. She put both hands behind her as she straightened up, trying to get rid of the fear that coursed through her veins. As she looked around the room, her eyes landed on the still suspicious guard. As pools of brown and blue met, her stare turned cold. Just because she was associated with the crime, she was hated by the guard and probably this entire household. They know nothing of her, but despise her nonetheless. Her fear was gone, replaced with a sliver of anger. It would be satisfying to wreak havoc on this house and its inhabitants. The guard’s voice was gruff as he called another guard to the room. They spoke quietly, exchanging looks across the room at Syndre, the still form of Robert, and then her. The second guard quickly exited as the first nodded at her friend. It seemed as though the three had gotten through the first encounter, but none of them knew what was in store for their next one. |
