In the depths of the city, hidden from the curious eyes of common citizens, there existed a place known to only a few: the headquarters of the Guild of Shadows, an assassins' guild. The unassuming and unadorned building, almost abandoned in appearance, concealed a meticulous and lethal organization. Within its walls, the atmosphere was indeed... complicated, to say the least. The guild master, a woman known only as "The Black Blade," sat like a queen in a meeting with her best assassins.
"Xenovia is closing in on us, all because we took that stupid contract with one of her family's sons," The Black Blade said. She dressed like a shadow, revealing only her blue eyes. Her voice was calm like an angel's but tinged with a hint of worry. "We shouldn't have meddled with her, and she won't stop until she finds out where and with whom we are. We need a plan."
