Takes place after acosf.
*This is a fanfiction from the book series acotar made by Sarah J. Maas*
They have been on the ship for 7 days now, and his mind was spinning! Ivar had been fully focused on the targets he was giving, so had Blaze and Ajax, but they all had different victims. Zene meant that they would get the job done faster if they split, but Ivar has only one thing on his mind. Get the job done, so there will be enough time to spy on the night court.
Just to see them...
"Hey, how are you feeling about" Bringing Ivar out of his thoughts, Blaze waved his hands through the air "all this?" I knew he meant going back to Prythian. "I'm fine, just didn't expect to go back so soon," Ivar said under his breath. He really hadn't, but after this he would finally get to see what life he could have ended up having, and what life he would get once his debt was paid.
"It's just that in 2 hours we will reach the shore of the autumn court," Ajax said, coming over to sit on the other side of Ivar. "And you seem to care a lot about your old family". Ajax was right. I do care about them and I always will, but the way he said "old family", made me feel even more alone. Sure Ivar felt that Ajax and Blaze were close enough to be called brothers, but he missed his sisters, and their innocent sweet smiles.
It was dangerous to care about anyone, since it could easily be used against him. so he let himself forget about his feelings, and went into the deep void inside himself. All assassins were taught when they arrived at the keep, young or old. Trust no one. But your loyalty for the leader of the keep is to be respected. No matter how big an ass he could be.
"I don't! Not any more, but it would be nice to see them, just to see how far they've gotten" Ivar said with a bored expression on his face, that he has been using so much in the following years, that he is a master of it by now. "Good we can't have any distractions, not when our debts are on the line" Blaze sneered.

They arrived at the Autumn court shore, how they got the permission to do so, Ivar didn't know. "Finally!" Ajax said, sighing loudly. "It was only 7 days! got a problem with the sea?" Ivar questioned Ajax, "No... but you know how I feel about the sea" He hissed, while sidestepping a few fae carrying some supplies. "For you Ajax, it's just water in general" Blaze said with a smirk on his face.
There was fae everywhere, no humans in sight, well it made sense since it was the land of fae, but it's still a shock to see it. How many stories hasn't he heard of this place? Of the terrible fae on the other side of the wall, the wall in which now is gone. Thanks to Hybern. The fae here seemed to be busy, the streets were full, and every shop had at least 2 customers. They all wear either yellow, orange, red of colors alike. By the mother it was a nightmare!
"Look, the females here are something to look at," Ajax said, gesturing to the other side of the street where some wealthy females were standing, in matching yellow gowns with some fancy flowers on their shoulders. "Well then you should go join them" blaze said a little irritated, "but sadly you don't have the time for that" he continued, and pointed a hard stare at Ajax, which seemed to tell Ajax that he didn't have a choice at that.
In silence they walked the rest of the way down to the inn, where they had sent letters to before arriving at the Autumn court, to be sure they would be able to have a room each. Not that they would mind sharing a room or bed for that matter. But Ivar had always been a little off about the idea of a male beside him in bed, mostly because he didn't want to trigger anything, that took him so long to bury, maybe that's why Blaze and Ajax were obsessed with getting a room each. They reacted badly when he told them about what happened that day.
The inn was some cheap shit! It was a high brown block, the walls looked like they would fall apart from each other at any time. Zene mind be rich enough to wipe his ass in gold coins, but he was a naive bastard, when it came to use money on others than himself. The door to the inn was at least something, it was marked with red flames all around the edge of the door. Not too bad for this place.
When Ivar stepped inside the inn, he was met by green furious eyes from a lesser female, standing behind a bar table. To say the least, she did not look too happy to see them. Probably because of the male now standing up from under the table, with shining white fluids around his mouth, and not to mention the smell of arousal in the air. "Hello and welcome to Fawou, your rooms are all set for you" the lesser female said with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
The lesser female gave a pointed look toward a spot on the bar table, where there were 3 keys. Ivar went over to the table and grabbed the keys, and looked over his shoulder toward Blaze and Ajax, and gave them a look to follow him. They all had rooms on the third floor, which for their luck, looked no better than the rest of the building. Blaze stopped at the first door, "i take this one" he said, reaching out a hand for the keys. I put one of the keys in his hand, and gave him a nod. "I take the next door" Ajax said with a winning smile on his freckles face, "sure you do" Ivar said, and gave him a mocking smile in return. He gave him the keys 2 doors from Blaze, and went down 3 doors to his room. "Night!" was the last thing I heard from Ajax before the door was shut close.
Ivar opened the door to his room and closed it in silence after him. He took in the room and the musty smell, where he was going to spend 5 months, and it did not look good! There were no windows which led to no escape routes. But there was a bed put in the left corner, a normal size bed, with a small table at its side. on the right side of the room was a rusty wooded door, which he can only presume is the bathroom. No carpets, no painting, no colors, but it had everything he needed to survive while he finished off his victims.
That was all that matters. Finish the job here as fast as possible, so he can focus on finding a way into the night court. Without getting killed of course.
