It was a dark and shady apartment. The alleys had the stench of waste and rubbish that made Rishi want to turn the other way. There were stray cats and dogs everywhere, looking sinisterly at the passerby. Finally, there he was.
Rishis stood in front of the door that was ready to give him opportunity, though it already looked like it was telling from the state of the streets. The door was already opened for him. He looked inside the room and saw multiple bottles of alchol scattered across the floor. As he went further across the room he could see many empty syringes on an old-looking table.
"What was this person injecting themselves with", Rishi thought.
There were pictures of Travis's face that had been ripped apart to shreds. Rishi didn't want to continue and meet this person and thought that it wasn't too late to run away. But if he did, then he would have lost an opportunity of a lifetime. He kept on going, silently walking room by room. Finally he saw a figure sitting on a wooden chair in a room, barely lit by a dim lightbulb. She wore black robes and a hoodie with what looked to be like cat ears. Her face was covered by the hood but he could make out a mouth and the tip of her nose. She was holding a toy plushie bear that was pink and had wide green eyes, as if it was looking directly at Rishi.
"What a surprise", the shady woman said, "I never expected you to come. Most people pass this opportunity."
Rishi was too scared and uncomfortable to speak.
"Are you shy? You don't need to be, as CWARWA loves you!", she said in an edgy creepy manner. Rishi was confused and had not a clue of what she was talking about.
Immediately after, she grabbed a bowl of water from below her desk and got hold of a bag of sugar from the side of the table. She them poured the whole bag of sugar into the water and stirred it up with her hand. From her pocket, she grabbed a syringe and sucked up 5mm of her hand-made solution and injected it into her arm like she had done this before.
"Ah! That's better! You want some?" , she expressed in a dreamy tone. That was it. Rishi was going to pack his bags and leave. This was a waste of his time and he knew that he was going to die anyways. "Wait! Don't leave so early. I know everything about the Order and Travis. I know how much you have lost."
"You have no idea how much pain I've been through." Rishi replied, infuriated. "You are just a crazy woman who has lost her sanity and use water-sugar solution as a subsitute for drugs!"
"There are many things you don't know about Travis that I indeed know", the mysterious woman said in a serious tone."You should take opportunity as an advantage. I am offering you help to take down The Order as I cannot take it down alone."
"How are you going to help me kill Travis when you are just sitting down and killing yourself by injecting toxic substances into you?" Rishi questioned.
"Patience, my friend. All it takes is a bullet to kill anyone, no matter how big or small. I know the system and how The Order works. I memorised their entire web like the back of my hand."
She then handed Rishi an unloaded pistol. "I want to take you to go to the factory two blocks away, as that is where the Swordsmaster is hidden. Once you find him, threaten him to make you a Runian Sword for you and immediately kill him after. Come back here before Travis notices and then we can extend the plan."
Rishi thought about this for a while. Would he really kill someone for his own benefit? Travis certainly did. But is he going to be like Travis? After all, he swore to kill Travis in anyway possible for the benefit of mankind, and if this was his only way, then he might as well do it as he really had nothing left to lose.
