<a class="postlink" href="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz260/TimeKeys/ninja.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/>Taya<br/>17<br/>Ninja Assassian<br/><br/>Taya was walking the streets of a city called Tesso. She was minding her own business. Trying to take a much needed break from her strenous lifestyle. She'd successfully completed another mission and had decided she deserved a small vacation. A break to enjoy the world rather than let it flash by her on yet another mission. She was young for an assassian but she'd been raised in this lifestyle. She knew three forms of fighting. Hand to hand and long range fighting she'd learned from her ninja father. Her mother ironically had been a samuri and so she'd learned short range fighting also. She carried a multitude of throwing stars, knives of all shapes, styles and sizes, and a throwing blade that was big and shaped like a four sided cross. But her weapons were far from holy. Some even had been dipped in poison. Plus she carried her mothers short sword called Blitz.<br/><br/>As she's walking she becomes aware of being followed. Her guard instantly shooting itself up and she whirls around a knife to the throat of the cloaked person who had tried sneaking up on her.<span style="font-style: italic">A chuckle comes from beneath the cloak. "You are indeed as skilled as they come. I have need of your skills young assassian." he pauses and looks at her. "I will pay you triple what your fee normally is." he says in a slightly wicked way. "I just need you to kill someone for me. Someone who is planning on doing an ultimate evil and attempting to destroy the world as we know it."</span>She looks at him suspiciously. Listening and as she does her eyes narrow. "Are there little ones involved?" she asks seriously. Otherwise she most likely wouldn't have enough reason to take this mission. She hated people doing evil and whatnot but hell that was a daily part of life.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">The man realizes she wasn't going to bite. So he takes the words she'd said in her question. "Lots of children are in danger. The children of the area near where this man has hidden himself are in grave danger." he lies easily and convincingly. "So will you take my mission oh noble ninja?" he asks in a fake pleading and hopeful tone.</span>Taya's eyes narrow. She could accept a lot of things...the harming of little ones was utterly unforgivable in her book. "Yes...describe or show me my mark. I shall take this mission." she says. Inwardly sighing. So much for a vacation. She thinks to herself. When he hands her a picture she memorizes it and takes in every little detail about him. She is paid half the money he offered her up front. And she vanishes in a puff of smoke.<br/><br/>Taya had been traveling from the last known location of this man. She'd been on the trail of this man...a man who's name she didn't know. But it was important to know the marks name. As they were to be killed. To know a name would make it become to close to being personal. And it was something she couldn't afford to allow her gentle and caring heart to do. For she knew herself should she allow that she'd feel regret or something similar to that. She had traveled two weeks before she'd found his location. She hides in shadows. Watching her mark. Waiting for the oppurtune moment to strike.
