Over the last ten years there had been a name steadily rising in the underground elements of Wild Lands capital city.  Ghost was the name that had gone from being unknown to being on the lips of every large crime boss and in the ears of every snitch.  Ghost was an Elite class assassin.  They had the reputation of never missing a mark and always completing a job no matter how difficult.  Efficiency and precision were elements that every assassin strives for and Ghost seemed to have turned those elements into an art form.  No one knew who Ghost was or what they looked like.  Male, female, breed, nothing was known.  Ghost had an Elite client base and the only way to hire him was to ask around and hope someone knew how to contact the assassin.<br/><br/>The real face behind<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2Fdf%2F1e%2F4d%2Fdf1e4d19c3848b00de4010e48bc56164--furry-art-furries.jpg&amp;hash=74d914d63c545ea841ee7b300fffa34d" href="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/df/1e/4d/df1e4d19c3848b00de4010e48bc56164--furry-art-furries.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Ghost</a>belonged to a canine, a wolf to be exact.  He'd grown up an orphan in the Capital and while tourists and people who were well off only saw the fancy stores, kind faces and flashing lights of the main city Koda saw the darker parts of the city that were hidden from the public eye.  He knew what it was like to fight to live and go for days on end without food.  He'd spent countless years honing his craft and beating every emotion out of his brain so that he could become the cold efficient killer that was needed for his profession.  Ten long and difficult years earned him the funds and reputation to be the cities leading Assassin.  Everything from Drug Lord's to politicians.  No name was out of his reach and no life was safe if he was paid enough.<br/><br/>Today's target was a politician who was on his employers pay roll but the female had been given a list of names to ignore and she didn't hold to her end, on top of that she'd taken the money from his employer and was making threats about having his employer arrested.  Thus she'd over stepped her boundaries and his employer was tired of it.  One million dollars and her name was given to Ghost as grounds for execution.  His employer wanted her death to be public, which meant that she would be killed while she was in the public eye.  Koda wasn't one to use guns or anything like that.  Koda used custom made blades as his weapons and killed up close and personal.  Studying the female's habits, watching how she went to work and left work as well as memorizing her guard detail, Koda worked out that the best time to strike would be today at nine in the evening as she was leaving her office.<br/><br/>Her office was in a fairly populated area but at that time of night and on a Monday, the streets were fairly dead minus a small cafe across the street, but thanks to a little stove fire the night before, the owner had shut the doors for cleaning and to fix the stove.  When the time came for the assassination, Koda was standing in an alley way to the left of where the female's car was parked and as her largest guard came out Koda moved.  Rhino's were strong on the back and sides, but their stomachs were weak.  Twisting his blade in his hand he rammed the knife edge up under the breast armor and stabbed the male in the heart.  As his body crumbled Koda twisted around the male and shoved the heavy body so that it landed on the female, pinning her and keeping her there.  The rest of the guards were circled around her and in a tight circle, making their deaths easy as they were all within stabbing range.<br/><br/>Koda moved fast and each stab was aimed at a vital spot, dropping each guard with relative ease.  Ice cold mis-matched eyes locked onto each target, his face devoid of any emotion at all as he systematically killed each of his targets till it was just the female.  Panting a bit he turned and looked at the female as she'd managed to wiggle her upper body out from under the large dead rhino.  She begged for her life but it fell on deaf ears as Koda planted his hand into her hair and lifted her head, exposing her neck.  A scream was attempted but cut short as his blade sliced a deep cut into the neck of his target.  The scream was drown out by the gurgling of blood in the lungs and soon the female stopped moving as blood loss and the lack of air got the better of her.
