Second I apologize for any grammatical errors and or a boring plot line.Third the picture above is what Fate looks like with his hood on the pic doesn't belong to me I got it off of google Last I'd love to hear your opinions and any advice you may have without further ado my first chapter :D

"WHERE IS THAT IDIOTIC EMO EXCUSE FOR AN ASSASSIN?!!?!" A voice I knew all too well shouted from up the hill. I sighed and began the all too short walk towards the hill dreading what was coming. I wonder what I did this time.... I'm pretty sure I fulfilled the requirements of my mission what does the General want with me this time???? I don't have time to speculate anymore as I finally reach the top of the hill "WHERE IS- THERE YOU ARE! YOU WORTHLESS, GOOD FOR NOTHING, INSIGNIFICANT, PIECE OF TRASH!!" He roars as he stalks towards me. Now you may be asking yourself who would sit there and take that kind of treatment? Well the answer to that question is painfully clear I Would or more correctly I've learned of the consequences that come with interrupting him when he's like this or really ever. "WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR TRULY AWE INSPIRING FAILURE?!?!" At this I'm truly confused. "WHAT PART OF DEAD DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND IN YOUR BRIEFING?!" I sigh as I know what's coming his favorite punishment for me Torture Oh JOY good old quality time with my favorite uncle Tartarus. Well might as well get this over with I sigh as I turn towards his command tent "I EXPECT YOU TO BE CHAINED WHEN I GET THERE IN 6 MINUTES BOY BE PREPARED" I hear him roar as I'm entering the tent. I glance around at the inside half hoping for something new to Spice Up the usual Bonding we have but as usual all I see are my blood stains scattered across the fabric. As I chain myself to the usual spot my eyes flick to one particularly large blood stain on the right side of the tent my mind takes me back to when I shed that particular patch of blood

Flashback

I had just met my dear uncle Tartarus for the first time and had no idea what I was in store for. He had asked me a rather obvious question and I responded with apparently too little respect then he was expecting so he had me restrained and locked in this tent. I looked around and saw all sorts of tools and contraptions things I hoped to never find out the uses for but as it turns out I'd find out at the joyous age of 11 happy birthday to me I supose. "BOY! YOU WILL LEARN TO TALK TO ME WITH RESPECT!" I watched as he grabbed what looked to be a particularly large scalpel and study me tool in hand as if deciding where would hurt most he decided my face would be sufficient and placed the scalpel against my forehead drawing blood immediately "Now let's see is a 'Shadow' can bleed." He grins maniacally as he brings the blade slowly down my face slitting my skin as easily as a spoon dipping into jello my screams pierce the night air as I smell and hear my blood splash across the tent wall "Come now BOY we have only just begun don't tell me this is all you can take!" He taunts as he moves to my stomach and begins to carve 'USELESS' . My screams get louder and louder as each letter is carved slowly and deeply into my skin soon I can no longer even scream my vocal cords have been snipped and my throat seared shut I'm left with the endless river of tears that is until I black out from the pain... I'm brought out of my lovely memories by The General grabbing this weeks favorite tool the super heated razor blade he begins his usual routine of cutting into my old wounds rewriting the years old insults permanently burned and carved into my skin 'Murderer, Useless, Waste, Mistake, Garbage, Alone, Toy' I don't even feel the pain anymore I just make the usual twitching motions so he doesn't go on for hours. "I believe that's enough for today BOY return to your tent you are to go a week with no rations and extra training but FIRST go and kill that worthless mortal BEFORE I do it myself?!" I quickly run out into the night pulling the shadows towards me turning into my usual outfit long black trench coat shredded at the bottom from years of battles and constant use black ripped semi-skinny jeans with my black combat boots on I think about putting my hood on but decide against it the man won't be alive to tell anyone what I look like anyway my purple eyes glow as I sink into the shadows and come out standing behind the man I thought dead."So you figured out I lived through your last visit. I wasn't expecting you this early I just finished cooking dinner would you like some young man?" He turns towards me when I don't voice a response and I shake my head no "Well if you're sure then please allow me my last meal and then you can send me to Heaven to meet my wife and kids" I nod at him and he takes a seat at the table with a plate of what looks like eggs and steak huh what an interesting combination for a last meal....if it brings the old man peace for the end then whatever as long as he dies by the end of the night I'm happy "So young man do you have a name?" I just stare at him until he sighs "You must have a name come now humor a dead man won't you?" I sit for a moment longer before pulling down my shirt and pointing at my scarred neck "Ahhhhhh I see just a moment lad I'll grab you a pen and paper" he moves to stand but I shake my head vigorously until he sits back down frowning "How will we converse my boy if you can't-" I use the shadows to write in the air "I can convey perfectly fine what I need to say Sir I just choose not to" as the message fades he smiles "Sir was my father young man my name is Min. Now what do I call you?" I grin for the first time in actually I haven't grinned since I was 10 huh go figure "Well Min my name is Fate it's a pleasure to actually meet you" this time his smile is accompanied by a small chuckle I stare at him bewildered until he finally speaks up "I find it very amusing that 'Fate' has come to end my life hahaha sorry my boy." I shake my head and grin understanding why there would be humor in this situation "I understand completely Min it is rather amusing , but I do have one thing that's been bothering me. Who saved you???? You were bleeding out and should be dead! How are you alive?!" As the message fades I see him grinning yet again and can't wait to hear the oh so amusing answer "Well my boy I was saved by what I can only describe as an Angel sent from Heaven she said her name was-"
