Dark Repercussions

Chapter 16

Devastation At The Hands Of The Assassins!

They Struck Again!

Last week we were greeted with the relieving news that one of the deadly assassins had been taken in to custody and was being held in a secure location by the ministry. Sang Lys sent a warning in broad daylight in Diagon Alley promising repercussions and the ministry didn't listen. I am here to report that last night our own minister Cornelius Fudge was murdered in his own home last night by Vilka, Cien, Ensis and Cruor. The minister's manor was invaded and the auror guard was overcome but the powerful killers leaving Fudge unprotected. The assassins suspended the ministers body in the air under their lilies (see picture below) and their message.

You call your self protectors

And yet we still got in,

You fail in your duties,

Now we can grin,

The morals will weaken;

Listen to what we have said,

Soon we'll take over

The minister is dead!

And they vanished, leaving with death and destruction in their wake. Many wondered why didn't Sang Lys lead the attack and I have the answer my dear readers and it isn't good.

While the aurors were called to protect our minister, Sang Lys and Espia snuck in to the ministry and broke in to the Department of Ministries where I can now reveal Caligo was being kept and ripped the place apart searching for their missing team member; they found her. Killing 12, Sang Lys took back what was his and escaped. The assassin then took to Diagon Alley again, with Caligo by his side, and released his lily and a message of celebration in to the air;

She was taken from me

You celebrated her capture

I warned you I was coming

You thought you could hide her

No where is safe

I have eyes everywhere

Repercussions are certain

Just look in the air.

His message was followed one from Caligo to confirm her release;

You took me from my master

I said he would come

You made a serious mistake

Prepare for the fun

He won't let this go

Punishment is set

You should have heeded his warning

Now it's time to sweat.

Both messages came with deadly warnings and after last time, I believe we should listen. The assassin has done the impossible before and he will more than likely do it again.

Rita Skeeter,

Harry could feel the terror pouring from nearly everyone in the hall, the silence seemed to echo around as they took in the knowledge of the death of the minister and the break out of Caligo; it was too much for them to handle. They never thought it would get to this, it was one thing about hearing of attacks and deaths in the paper, but the lead of the government had been taken out, and the government building invaded with a deadly assassin released all in one night. The reality seemed to hit them right at this moment and Harry was blessed enough to see it.

He also looked over at Vilkas' message and bit back a grin, that was very clever and he liked the wording, he would have to congratulate the man when he got the chance. He looked around at the pale faces and the fear filled eyes, and had to withhold a smirk, after the elections they would begin to look happy, like there was something to fight for but that wouldn't last. Harry would take pleasure in crushing that hope, he would get to see them sink lower than they were now and he would laugh. When they took the ministry the people would be travelling in packs, they would begin to fear their friends, fear their family and plea for help; he did so love it when people begged.
