It was a beautiful day hours ago but now night had fallen upon the land. The night sky was lit by the beauty of the moonlight, and the stars. Meanwhile the streets below were lit by lights of all shapes, sizes, and varieties. Tonight was going to be the night that Echo, Zeus, and their new partner Thalia would be attending a party. Normally the child of a noble and his “entourage” would attend such things and nobody would bat an eye, however this time they weren’t going as guest. No for this party the group of teens would be crashing it, as an order from the collector.
The party was being held within the noble region’s Silva Town, being held as a fund raising event for a new orphanage. The town was one Echo was not very fond of as it was seemingly a bunch of rich weak people showing off their wealth. As the group arrived to the town Echo would be in the front with Zeus right beside him, meanwhile Thalia was hanging back doing her best to stay out of sight of anyone. Her purpose here was merely to support and to spectate, she wasn’t a true combatant and Echo wanted to keep it that way.
As Echo and Zeus made their way to mansion where the fund raiser was being held Zeus would look to Echo and say “Echo are we going to have to kill anyone today? I don’t believe its needed for this mission unless…” Before Zeus could finish Echo would jump in and say “No, no we shouldn’t have to kill anyone, but you never know with these kind of big more public jobs. What exactly are we supposed to be doing here anyway?”
Zeus would nod before saying “We are subduing guest, stealing from guest, and burning down mansion, they use that as orphanage after fundraiser.” Echo was not informed of what they were to be doing for the most part, but he still wasn’t feeling too confident about the whole thing. However the show must go on and that is what it would do, so upon their arrival to the mansions front gate Echo and Zeus would both put on a mask. The mask they wore were similar to that of swordsman worn in Zeus’ homeland, very ornate in design. As the two of them would proceed to head onto the grounds Thalia would follow, still hiding about in the shadows.
Once Echo and Zeus made it to the front door of the mansion they would be greeted by 2 guards at the front door, who would immediately react badly to seeing the two masked men. Zeus had his sword and Echo had his bow and arrows, and as the two approached one of the men could be heard yelling “You two can’t have weap~” his speech was cut short when Echo would shoot an arrow into the man, before quickly shooting one into the other guard. The two would quickly move in to pick up and carry the bodies out of sight handing them off to Thalia to take care of.
The team now all together would have a quick meeting before the operation would start. Echo would lift his mask as he spoke to Thalia and Zeus saying “Ok so Thalia, I need you to handle these two bodies and then you just stay out here and keep watch. If you see anything run and let us know. Zeus me and you need to go in there and start tying people up as soon as we get rid of any extra security.” After Echo spoke Zeus would simply nod as he would go to take his position back at the door and wait for Echo. Meanwhile Thalia would look at Echo and say “You better make sure you two don’t get caught, I doubt I can live at your house if you both get captured…” she would say with an annoyed look on her face.
Echo would smile before kissing the girl on the cheek and then pulling his mask back down. “I have no intentions on being caught here. So relax and do as I say and everything will be fine.” Echo would say before he would walk of making his way back to Zeus at the door of the mansion. Once the two were in position at the door Echo would open the door with a fierce kick, which the door would fly open from after. Once the door was open Zeus would immediately go in to deal with the security who would surely be rushing to the source of such a loud noise.

As Zeus entered the mansion he was greeted by 2 additional security guards, armored with spears. Zeus would be surrounded by the guards before he would stand tall in a battle ready position. “Halt! I don’t know how you walked in like that but you won’t be making it any further!” Without even a word Zeus would move in using his sword to cut the weak and frail wooden staff of one guard before using his sword to stab right into the heart of the man. His body would soon drop to the floor, however while Zeus was distracted the other guard was moving I for a counter attack.
Before the man could do any harm to Zeus Echo would swiftly move into the mansion and shoot the man in the back with an arrow. His body too now dropping to the ground just like his partner, with their wounds filling the floor beneath them with blood. Echo and Zeus would then move forward into the home making their way to the grand hall where the fundraising event was being held. As they walked Echo would look to Zeus and say “Maybe I was wrong, looks like we gotta kill people… Oh well stupid idiots shouldn’t wanna work security jobs for nobles.” Zeus would look at Echo and laugh before saying “Oh you knew this would happen cousin, nobles no want to let go of riches.”
As Zeus spoke Echo noticed how much better his cousin was at speaking the language of Clover. It was a very good thing indeed but it wasn’t truly important to the task at hand so Echo thought it best to save any commentary on the matter, After about a minute or two of walking through the home they had arrived at the doorway to the grand hall. It was funny how they had faced no more resistance since the first 4 guards at the front door, Echo knew that this couldn’t be right. However he could do nothing but keep going along with the information that was presented to him and so they advanced.
Opening the door to the grand hall would be Zeus, and Echo would walk in first once it was open. The hall was huge and amazing, the large room seemed like its own separate home due to the size, but Echo wasn’t here to admire architecture he was here to have a robbery, As he walked into the room he would yell at the top of his voice “Ok everyone imma need everyone to get on the ground, and I promise nobody here will have to die tonight! Me and my associate are here because we heard there was a party, problem is we never got our invitation. So this is what we are gonna do, everyone here is gonna give us your money and we are gonna leave. Ok? Cool now lets get started!”
After his small speech the room would get noticeably quieter with only small whispers and murmurs being passed by the guest as they were all nervous and some very afraid. Echo and Zeus would then go around and begin to tie up all the 30 or so party guest before they would move on with their plan. Once all the guest were tied up, the duo would move them to one corner of the room, once that was done Echo would begin to speak saying “Now I am looking for the owner of this fine home. Is there anyone by the name of Alex Baldwin here?” After he spoke a older gentleman with balding grey hair would raise his tied hands up high saying “Im Alex Baldwin, what is it that you hoodlums want?”
Before Echo or Zeus would say a word, the latter would walk over and raise the man to his feet and walk him over to Echo. The red headed hunter would look to Alex and say “Well Mr. Baldwin its simple. You are gonna open up the safe in the basement for us, that’s where you put all the money from the fundraiser right?” The man looked very angry when he Echo said that he wanted the money from the safe, the man was too passionate about opening his orphanage and wanting to help the kids of the kingdom. This passion however would put him in a dangerous situation when he would speak out against Echo saying “I refuse to take the chance of a better life from those children just so you can get a pay day! My answer is no!”
Zeus and Echo would stare at each other for a bit before Echo would turn back to the man and let out a chuckle. “Oh you thought I was asking you? Nah man I’m telling you… you are gonna open that safe or you and everyone else in this house will die tonight. And I’ll make sure we kill you last so you can watch us kill all your rich friends who wanted to help you save those kids.” The man’s face would turn pale as he clearly had gotten fear struck into his heart by Echo’s words.

After Echo said what he had to tell the man his face was filled with fear before he would sit in silence. He didn’t seem to believe the threats voiced by the young rogue, and so he saw that he needed to make an example for the man. He would smile under his mask before saying “Oh you think I’m joking? Fine I shall show you I mean what I say…” He would then stop talking for a brief moment before he would look at Zeus and say “Kill one of them, I don’t care which.”
After receiving his orders from Echo, Zeus would draw his blade back from its sheathe before saying “Understood!” He would then walk up to one of the male hostages in the corner and bring him to his feet, before moving him out of the corner with the others and bringing him to the front of the crowd for everyone to see. The man would stand in front of the group with his hands tied knowing what was about to happen but could do nothing to stop it. “Please sir I don’t want to die here… You don’t have to do this! Im sure all of us here will be willing to pay you, right Alex?”
The man tried to convince Mr. Baldwin to give up the hidden money for the sake of everyone’s safety but the man was still yet to say a word or even move. The saddest part was he didn’t even want to look at the man as he almost begged his friend to help him. Echo would look at the man who was about to be executed but was not moved at all by the begging for his life. So Echo would signal Zeus to eliminate the man with a simple hand gesture, to which he would comply.
Zeus would take his sword and place it to the back of the man’s neck making sure to line up his sword swing, and once his aim was lined up he would make a quick and powerful swing taking the man’s head off of his neck. As the man’s head would roll across the ground, and his body dropped o the floor the room would be filled with screams and people chatting between themselves. Echo would then look back to Alex before saying “Now old man are you sure we gotta keep this going? I really don’t think we have to but you let me know.”
The old man was so disheartened watching one of his friends and business partners be killed in such a way and so he decided that he wouldn’t let anyone else die. “Fine I will open the safe up for you lot. Come on and take me to it…” Echo would laugh a bit before smiling under his mask and saying “See that wasn’t so hard. You just needed a little bit of motivation, but don’t worry I understand we all need motivation sometimes.” Echo would then grab the man and begin to walk him towards the exit of the hall. Before leaving he would yell her to Zeus saying “Watch the rest of the hostages while I get the money.” Zeus would say nothing but he would simply nod to show that he heard and understood the orders given.
As Echo was walking the old man down into the basement he felt a strange feeling about the man. He didn’t know exactly what it was, he just felt as if the whole operation was going far too smoothly. But again just like earlier it was nothing he could do but keep moving with what was presented to him and so he would dismiss his thoughts of paranoia. Arriving at the basement door Echo would look to the old man and say “Well come on old timer we don’t got all day open up the door.” The old man would then take a key from his pocket and hand it to Echo so he could open the door.
Grabbing the key from the man Echo would then open the door and the two would proceed down the steps into the basement. Moving into the dark basement Echo would use his magic to make a ball of light to light up the area for the two. After Echo did this the man would see the light and smile a bit before he would say “For a rogue you have such a beautiful magic at your disposal. It feels so warm and welcoming, but your own emotions and feelings have made it tainted.”

As Echo escorted the man to the safe down in the basement, he heard the man’s comments after seeing his magic and it instantly set off a negative thought in his mind. *Shit I probably shouldn’t have done that…even if he gives us the money now I may need to kill him just off principle.* He would then look to the man before saying to him “Dont worry about me or what kind of magic I use, just focus on remembering the safe combination so I can get my money and go.” The man would then laugh a bit before saying “So what is it that you plan to do with this money? You can’t just take money away from these kids and not plan to tell me where it is going can you?”
Before Echo could say a word however they had arrived down the steps and in the basement, and just a few feet in front of them was the safe that had the fundraiser money. Echo would push the man forward before saying “Stop talking so much and open up the safe old man, I don’t got all night for this crap. The man would then fall to the floor in front of him before he would get up and begin to put the combination into the safe. After a few moments he would be finish turning the combination lock and he would move his hand to the safe’s knob, and turned it open. The safe would then pop open and the money was now all in sight.
After the safe had come open the man would move away from it and look to Echo saying “There now take the money and get out of my house. You gave your word that if I gave up the money we would all be safe.” Echo would then nod before he would take the duffle bag he had on his back and begin to put all the money inside of it. After he had filled the bag with all the money in the safe he would turn to look at Mr. Baldwin before saying “Yeah so about what I said… I hate to break it to you but I kinda lied man. You seen my magic so now you gotta die, but thanks for the money it was appreciated.” Echo would then take one of his arrows from the quiver before he would stab it right into the man’s eye socket.
Mr. Baldwin’s body would drop to the ground, as Echo would then walk away heading back to the grand hall to meet Zeus, so they could prepare to make their exit.

After Echo had killed Mr. Baldwin the owner of the mansion and the host of the fundraiser he would make his way back up to the grand hall, where Zeus was keeping watch over the other hostages. Once he had made his way back to the hall the faces of the other hostages had visibly changed when they seen he had come back into the room without Mr.Baldwin. Echo would look to the hostages before taking off his mask and saying “I bet you all are wondering where Mr.Baldwin is. I hate to inform you all that Mr.Baldwin has met his untimely end, by my hand and now you all shall die in this house.”
Zeus would remove his mask too before looking to Echo and saying “Do you think this good idea Echo? You said ~” Echo would cut off his cousin’s speech before saying “Damn what I said, I messed up so now they all must die!” Zeus would do nothing more than let out a small sigh before saying “I understand if that is your wish…” Zeus would then take his sword and channel magic through his blade which would make the blade electrified, before he would take it and stab it into the carpeted floor.
Once the electrified blade was placed into the floor, with enough voltage going through it the floor would catch fire. Once the floor was on fire Zeus would quickly remove his blade before he and Echo would quickly begin to make their way to the exit. As they made their way out Echo would turn to look at the tied up hostages as the fire began to spread and rage on. “Im sorry things ended like this but I must bid you farewell.” He would then follow Zeus out of the mansion with their bag of spoils on his back.
As they made their way out the front door in which they came in from, the fire had began to consume other parts of the home and was now slightly visible from outside due to the large cloud of smoke that rose into the air. Once the two made it outside they were met by Thalia who would run over taking the bag from around Echo, while he gladly helped her to take it. As she took the bag she would say “Well you two took longer than expected. Did something go wr~” her speech was interrupted when she looked up and seen the cloud of smoke rising from the mansion. “Yeah we kinda had to burn the place down, and burn everyone alive inside… We should hurry and get out of here, you remember your escape route right?” After Thalia took the bag from Echo she would nod her head before saying “Mhmm, I remember.” After a few moments she would draw ink to her finger drawing a bird in the air before said bird came to life. She along with Zeus would jump onto the bird with Zeus saying to Echo “We see you at home. Be safe!” Echo would then smile before he would activate his physical reinforcement spell to increase his speed. With his white aura surrounding him he would say “You know I will.” Echo would then run off, and at the same time Zeus and Thalia would take flight on the bird and head off, with all of them heading home.
