Takes place after acosf.
*This is a fanfiction from the book series acotar made by Sarah J. Maas*
Ivar had a crazy headache when he woke up. Naked, and in a stranger's bed... He couldn't really remember how he got here, there was only glimpse of auburn hair. Which was sprayed all over his chest. What was her name? Breena? Beagan? definitely something with B. "Mhm" came from the female, as if she read his mind in her sleep.
Ivar was careful when he removed the female's head off his chest. He really needed to get home, so he could ask Blaze and Ajax if they knew a way into the night court. And if he knew Ajax right, he would have to be precise, that he did not want to die to get in. Blaze on the other hand, would be helpful. Blaze was always the one who made the safest plans. While Ajax's plans would always be. Hit, run, hide. A not so good plan...
He got up from the bed slowly, to not wake up the beauty on it. He started to pick up his clothes, and it was everywhere! After he looked over his shoulder to make sure, she was still asleep. So he continued, and started to get dressed.
When Ivar was done he quickly and quietly as fae, walked over the wooden floor, to the window. He opened the window without it making any sound, and looked to the bed at his side. Should he wake her up before he left? Or would that be too weird? Ivar decided not to wake her up, and shifted into his raven form.
He flew out, and up to get a look at where he was. The air smelled like leaves and apples. And it looked like he ended up very close to the palace, too close for Ivar liking. It was a surprise that he made it all the way to the female's house, from the tavern. But it was still easy enough to find his way back to the hotel.
***
At the hotel was Ivar sitting on his bed, waiting for Blaze and Ajax to make their entrance. He told them that he needed their help with something, but Blaze was running late to a meeting with a lord, and Ajax was still covered in blood from his recent victims. So they agreed to meet up at Ivar's room in two hours, so Blaze could talk with his lord, and Ajax could get cleaned up.
It's been one and a half hours, and Ivar had found multiple ways to ask Blaze and Ajax for help, but it all sounded so suspicious. They were all three sent to autumn court, because it was where all their targets were.
So either he tells them that it's a target hoping they won't ask questions, or telling them to mind their own business. Which mind not be a good idea, since he needs their help. Maybe he will be lucky, and they won't ask about anything. though the chance of that happening is very low.
And how will he even explain that he's going to stay there for a few days! If they do believe that he got a target there, it would go to waste the moment he tells them that he needs days to be done with it.
He was one of the best assassins in Owaxus! And how can he explain that it will take days, just to take down a target. Cauldron boil him. He was known as The Mors Astra. It was an absurd name. It meant The black death. Yeah sure. He loves to run around in his black cat form, but he didn't want people to run in fear whenever they saw a black animal. And even for some name that he didn't choose.
The door was pushed open revealing Ajax, bringing Ivar out of his wild thoughts. "Blaze is on the way" Ajax said as a way of greeting, Ivar gave a nod and a small smile to the red head. Ajax took that as an invitation to walk over to the wall, and lean against it. And true to his word, Blaze came through the door not a minute after.
"Is it bad since you need our help?" Ajax asked, now that Blaze was here. "Not bad, I just need to find a way into the night court", Ivar said looking at both males, but turned his head to look directly at Ajax "alive". He looked back at Blaze hoping not to find some questions on his face, but the male had slightly wide eyes and something like relish on his face instead.
"Sure, I have a target there, and have already made a plan to get in there", Blaze said to Ivar, but turned his head to Ajax "And you can of course join, if you got the time". Ajax shrugged, "Allright when do we leave, and what's the plan?"
"Ivar is the plan, with you it will get much easier to get past the border without alarming the high lord and lady" Blaze said nodding toward him. "How?" Ivar said, and could't help the excitement in his voice. "All you gotta do is shift into one of your animal forms, so the wards won't notice you. And me and Ajax will have to be passed out-", "Did you just say we would have to be passed out?! That's the worst plan you ever come up with, Blaze!" Ajax said, looking a little more pale than usual. "The wards won't notice us if we are asleep, and it won't notice Ivar because of his animal form. So Ivar will drag us across the wards, and guard our bodies while we recover". Blaze said, with an irritated look on his face.
"Okay, we got the plan. When do we leave?" Ivar asked Blaze, who was still looking at pale Ajax. The latters mouth half open, as if he were at loss of words. "Tonight, so you better get some sleep, you look like shit" Blaze told Ivar, "Thanks for the compliment" Ivar said, winking at Blaze.
Tomorrow Ivar will be in night court, the closest he has ever been to his sisters for 14 years! But now he needed to find a way to get close enough to one of them, without getting seen by Blaze or Ajax. He'd been lucky that Blaze needed to go there, he won't be so lucky if Blaze and Ajax finds out the real intention behind the night court visit.
They always got in a mood when Ivar talked about them the first few years, at the assassin keep. He won't dare to guess what happenes if he's seen talking to them.
