Deep in the sacred mountains of Eth Alth'eban
"Ra's, you sent for me", Anqa said as she knelt in front of their leader with a bow.
"Anqa,ยนBanati, I've raised you well since I found you deep in the southern mountains. You've served me well too...ended up becoming the strongest assassin I've ever trained. You're quite special,my daughter", Ra's al ghul the leader of the league of assassins said as he stood up from his throne of black skulls and walked towards her. He held her face gently and lifted it up to look at him.
"Do you recall the prophecy of the Demon King?", He inquired looking her in the eye.
"As soon as ice rains from the sky, two siblings shall reunite.The Phoenix shall rise and aid the blue-eyed Panther. Hunters of the past shall invade the present and the Demon King shall rise",she said.
"Right. And as you are aware, that prophecy is our cause, the very reason for our existence. We are to aid the rise of the Demon Kin...and recently, a one-eyed creature resurfaced, a Cyclop", he said circling around slowly to stand behind her.
"And you think this creature has links to the prophecy?", She asked,still kneeling.
"Oh yes, the hunters of the past, the prophecy has begun. We must find this creature and know what it hunts for we shall aid its hunt", he said holding her shoulders, pulling her up to stand on her feet,"That is your task and you shall not fail", he whispered.
"Then your will shall be done,Ra's. I'll head out immediately", she said turning to face him and then bowed.
"Take some men with you too, might get messy", he said with a smirk then started up to his throne. He knew Anqa would not fail, she has never failed.
Anqa left and went back to her room to prepare. She was tall with her long black hair always tied to a ponytail. As she was preparing she sensed someone behind her.She quickly took out the dagger from her boot, turned around,sharply sliced the air and held the dagger to the neck of the intruder.
"Anqa, as sharp as ever I see",Talia al ghul the only daughter of Ra's al ghul said with a smirk as she slowly pushed the dagger away with her fingers.
"What do you want now,Talia?", Anqa asked turning back to continue lacing her boots.
"What I've always wanted...my father's approval. Ever since you came along, it's been you instead of me. I overheard him sending you on a new mission that concerns the prophecy. Why wouldn't he trust his own daughter with a task like that?. You've poisoned the mind of my father,haven't you?", she sneered, pulling her arm to turn her around.
"Well,maybe if you weren't so downright sloppy then he might love you a bit more", she said shaking Talia's hands off her arms.
"Say that again", Talia threatened as she drew her dagger. Then she heard a low growl from behind. She turned and saw Idris, Anqa's hound dog. She slowly lowered her dagger and turned back to Anqa.
"I pray you don't come back from this mission", she said as she turned and left the room.
"Thanks, Idris,for that save", she scoffed. She took her sword and sheathed it on her back. Then she turned back to look at Idris who was whimpering,"No... no,don't give me that look, you know I can't take you with me on this one. Don't worry,I'll be fine", she said as she patted him on on the head and walked out.
They arrived in America the next day and immediately commenced with the mission looking for the beast.It wasn't long,they tracked it down to the sewers and was now approaching its lair.
"Did you hear that?", one of the men asked turning around quickly.
"We are clearly not alone down here", Anqa muttered as she kept walking forward,sword in hand. There were ten of them,Anqa included.The ground started shaking.Everyone stopped. Something was approaching.Then they heard a loud roar and one of them was smashed to bits, his blood splashing everywhere.
"ยฒAleimlaq !!!!", Another screamed as he started shooting. The whole sewer was brightened with deafening gunshots. The Cyclop raised his giant spiked club and smashed it down on more of them.
"We have to get out into the open if we are to capture it!!!. Everyone to the entrance of the sewer!!!", Anqa ordered as they all started running towards the entrance. The beast chased after them, smashing and tearing anyone it caught up to. Anqa reached the entrance and jumped out of the sewer with a perfect landing on the road as cars screeched and collided with one another. Four other assassins jumped out too. They were all soaked in the blood of their comrades. Then they heard the loud roar again as the beast jumped out from the sewer breaking through the road. Everywhere turned to chaos as everyone started running for their lives.
"Scatter!!!", Anqa called out to the remaining assassins as they all dispersed, climbing up near buildings with inhuman speed.
"Ignis!!!!!", The cyclops roared as it grabbed one of the assassins tearing him in two. Anqa ran, jumping buildings not stopping to look back. The Cyclops pursued from below the streets tearing and breaking through any obstacle. She then reached a gap she couldn't jump. She looked down and saw the Cyclop searching for her, roaring and throwing cars around. She heard sirens blaring in the distance, ' That should be enough distraction for me to get away', she thought as she ran to the other side of the building jumping across to the next. She looked back down as she ran, but couldn't see the Cyclops anymore.'Did the sirens scare him away?', she thought as she stopped running, looking around to see if she could find the beast but it was nowhere. She heaved a sigh as she slumped down on the roof,trying to catch her breathe.
'Did I hear that monster speak?', she wondered as she peered into the night sky.
She stood up and started climbing down from the building into a dark alley. The streets were clear and quiet except for the sirens in the distant. Then suddenly something dropped in front of her and shattered. She bent to see what it was. "Is this ice?", she gasped. More started falling from the sky in tiny bits and shattering as they hit the ground.
"Th... The prophecy. It's really raining ice", she said looking up with her hands stretched out as some of the ice landed on her palms. Then she looked behind and realized the ice was only falling on her and in front of her like it was creating a trail. 'Does it want me to follow?", she wondered...
