Gwain Saga: Fallen Assassin

002: Meeting the Queen

"You know what, I'll stay outside. You both could get in," Jason said, taking a step back nervously.

Instead, Ami took his hand and pulled him into the castle.

"And I thought this could get worse," Jason mumbled to himself.

A few moments later, they were in the castle. As they walk through the halls of the castle, they passed a mirror. Jason took a peek at it and was surprised to see the change in his appearance. From black hair to entirely white hair with small eyes, small pupils, and no iris. Geo also noticed the change of hair color and got scared.

"Wait, if I got a smaller pupil than Ami's, then my identity as a human could be easily revealed..." He said, worried about it.

Somewhere above them, still in the castle...

"Queen Gwain, we can't find the princess," a guard said.

"Search the forest again. She should be in there somewhere," Gwain ordered.

"Sure, my queen," the guard replied and left.

Gwain let off a sigh. As she was returning to her room, she immediately saw Ami, Geo, and Jason. Shocked by the face of a human, she immediately teleported in front of them.

"Ami, get to your room, now! The human is a threat," She said as her hand started to glow.

Ami wasn't moving from her place. She knew the two humans were good and kind.

"Ami, please. Both of them are a threat!"

"Humph!" She mumbled, trying to convince her mother to not kill them.

"It's okay Ami. Let me handle this," Jason steps forward.

He continued, "Queen, I can explain."

"Explain what? Humans are evil. I'm not letting this happen again."

"I'm gonna correct you. 'Some' humans are. Geo here isn't one of them. He saved Ami. I could see he was beaten up when I found them in the woods. Meanwhile, you may consider me a threat."

"And why should I listen to that?"

"You see, I'm an assassin back at Earth. My job is to protect people from the lies of the Templar Order, disguised as Abstergo Corp. I fell into this world when I was chased down by them."

"So you kill people for a living. That explains the mysterious look and the hood."

"Yeah... that's why I'm letting you eliminate me." He said while showing a face of regret.

Jason's life is now in Gwain's hands. She could kill him and remove a threat, or keep him alive and make the threat into a bodyguard. Maybe even a friend.

Gwain lowered her hand. The glow starts to fade.

"I don't know why I would do this, but this time, I'll trust you. I'll discuss it more tomorrow. For now, I'll ask the maids to prepare 2 rooms for the night."

"Thank you, my queen. I promise we won't let you down." Jason bowed down.

"Hmmm, you do have a sense of respect even though you're an assassin," Gwain said, showing a small smile. It's very faint but it's there.

The next morning

"Aaaaa!" Ami happily yelled at Jason, who was still sleeping.

"Oh, it's you, Ami. Jeez, it's still early, you know," Jason said, getting out from his bed.
