              A masked shadowy figure seemed to be flying through the woods. The figure ducked into an open pathway, there stood more shadowy figures. "Hey, you're finally here~!" One of the shadowy figures half-shouted.

"Keep quiet we're here for a reason if you haven't forgotten." The first, masked, figure from before stated.

"Of course I haven't but let's get this show on the road~!" The second figure said as the group made their way down the pathway at a fast pace.

               It was around midnight. The masked figure was ahead of the rest of the group. About three yards before the group reached a house, they reached the edge of the woods surrounding it. Their support members casted an invisibility spell on the group; ensuring they would not get caught. The scene before the group was a large house off the side of a village nearby, the group then proceeded to the house as they went straight in careful not to let the people that reside inside the large house know of their presence until they entered rooms, splitting up as the masked figure headed into a bedroom.

             The masked figure stood over a man and a woman as a small light began to glow around his right hand, a scythe formed. Raising his right arm in the air as the man woke up but a little too late as the masked figure slammed the blade end of his scythe down into the man's stomach, killing the man and raised his left hand as he casted a spell on the women, a fire spell not just any fire Fiend Fyre as the women began to be eaten alive by the fire. This type of fire only burns living things as if it's devouring them but does leave a mark of fire around where the living thing was. After leaving their bodies the masked figure covered in the man's blood left the room and met up with the others outside.

     The figures with a fire element which included the masked figure lit the house on fire as their support casted a cleansing spell getting rid of any evidence left on their clothing.

"Did you kill the servants of the house?"Asked the masked figure.

"Yep sure did Oli!"One of the figures who had light blue hair said happily. "Good now then. Let's get going before the villagers notice the fire."The masked figure who we now know is Oli, which is short for Oliver. The group then left the scene of their crime as they disappeared like nothing happened.

   The next day Oliver was in his office as the door burst open. A smiling blue-haired male who was in the group from last night stood at the door with a snow leopard beside him.

"What do you want, Laven," Oliver stated as he wasn't wearing his mask he usually only wears his mask when he's around the lesser members and out in public unless he's undercover to gather information.

"I wanna go to town. We need more supplies and it'd be good for us to just go out since we only go outside for business purposes most of the time."Laven stated as his smile never faded. The snow leopard made his way towards Oliver and sat down beside him as he started to clean himself.

"No not today I have to go meet up with Killian since he has some information for us then I need to go meet with Karlva so that we can piece things together and get more information on our next target,"Oliver stated as he was looking at some papers that one of his contacts had mailed to him about their target.

"You always work, come on, Oli, it'll be good for you to take a break for a couple of hours!"Laven pleaded as he wanted to go out but he couldn't without Oliver's permission.

"After I get the location of our target since I already have the name. It shouldn't take long. But my meetings are a few hours from now so going out for at least two hours shouldn't be a bother."Oliver started as Laven almost squealed with joy as he hardly can get Oliver to say yes to anything that isn't about work.

"Let's get this over with but let's change into our public clothing."He'd state as Oliver always made his executives change into different clothes so that no one will be able to recognize them he also makes them wear masks just in case anyone sees them and lives while they are killing their target.

        After Oliver found the location of their target the two changed and they left the hidden house as that's where The Silent Grave stayed as it is their hideout. Oliver casted a spell on each member and on the hideout so that only members of The Silent Grave can enter and see the hideout. Oliver's dark hair glistened in the sun as Laven's light blue hair looked lighter. The two soon were in Xario, Oliver's hometown, and the town that was near their hideout. Oliver did his best to keep his identity of being the head of The Silent Grave a secret and only the executives of The Silent Grave have seen his face. He only trusts his executives with his identity as they will rather die than betray Oliver as they all were close.

             The city of Xario is Zaivator's capital, Zaivator is the fourth kingdom of Asmil. There are two continents of this world that are known, Asmil and Zastron both have four kingdoms that are ruled by kings and queens. There are nobles in all kingdoms but most are corrupt so are a few of the kings and queens of every kingdom. The Silent Grave is an organization that has dedicated their lives to fixing this broken world full of crime, each member has been affected by these people in some way. The head of this organization is now Oliver Lowell who has many nicknames but keeps his face hidden despite being wanted and such for killing the corrupt nobles of the kingdoms. Some people think they're bad, some think they're good or ok. The militaries of each kingdom are supposed to try and investigate the crimes of The Silent Grave but none of them have gotten any closer to finding out the faces of the high-ranking members of the organization and their names; they only know the head of the organization's nickname. Oliver gives them nicknames when they are out on a mission and they just call him by his name.

              The two males walked through the city as they were heading to the market. All the members of The Silent Grave live at their hideout so that they have a place to stay and so that they don't draw attention when they move around from their homes to the hideout. Entering the store the two looked around as they picked out foods that most of the members like as they picked out a lot of things since there are a lot of people that they gotta feed they have the budget for it though since they all pitch in for it so that they are fed well. As Oliver paid for the food Laven was walking around as he bumped into someone who looked to be a noble or high-ranking commoner. The commoner glared at Laven as Laven smiled and gave the commer an intimidating look. The commoner then felt as if he were prey and the man before him was a predator, Laven then smirked as he'd pat the commoner on the back as he said,

"Sorry I was just excited so I wasn't looking where I was going. Have a nice day~!"The blue-haired male said in a sing-song voice as he walked away from the commoner and to Oliver as the commoner gulped.

          The two then left the store and used a teleportation stone to teleport the food back to the house where one of the members would put them away. As the two wandered around town they heard that there was a fire in Iqusea, Ucherid's capital. The two didn't say anything as they already knew how it was caused and what happened that night, as they were there and they were the ones that had caused it..
