The Virtuoso

Khada Jhin

The ionian prisoner hums as the sound fills the asylum. The warden pass by the man's cell and bangs the cold steel twice, intimidating the prisoner and telling him to stop. The prisoner stopped humming and turned to face the warden straight into the eyes. Another person appears,wearing a black cloak, looking towards the prisoner. 

"Let him out, the council wants to see him." the figure in the cloak said to the warden, ordering him. 

The prisoner steps out of his cell and started walking towards a door which has sunlight piercing through the cracks. The brightness was too much for him as he was isolated in his specially made cell for years. He took a deep breath and started walking to where he is being shoved to.

The prisoner enters the council room and was left there alone with another man. The prisoner look around him, analyzing his area and soon he look over the man. He comes to the conclusion that the man standing before him is one of the village council. 

"So." The prisoner starts to speak. 

"What do i owe this chance of being able to stroll outside, dear councilman." a smile forms around his lip.

"Let's cut the chitchat short." The council sat down, also offering a sit for the prisoner. "As you noticed, there has been an invasion from the Noxian empire which has led to political instability." The council explained, looking straight into the prisoner's eyes. 

"And what does this war have to do with me? This tranquil nation... is finally experiencing an appetite for bloodshed." He leans forward making an intimidating look. "I suppose... your army is not sufficient for the Noxian Empire."

"The power of the ninja and the Wuju swordsmen is competing for influence. We are desperate to counter this two parties." The prisoner leans back, giving another thought of the situation. 

"I am giving you an offer- a second chance to not rot in that cell of yours. And my offer is setting you free secretly with a condition, you will be our weapon in the shadow. A weapon of Terror." The councilman said.

"So, i am going to do the dirty work behind the curtains, interesting..."

The prisoner forms a smile. "I'll accept your generous offer."

The Rune-spelled cuffs chained on him disappears, setting him free. 

"You will start now and you will have access Kashuri's armories. New weapons and nearly unlimited funds are waiting for you." The councilman stood up from his chair, tidying his robe. "That will increase your... "Performances", Khada Jhin."

 "Oh i have not been called by my real name for ages, how i missed it. The people in this hell hole just refer me as the usual "Golden Demon." Jhin stoods up as well. The councilman offers a handshake as a sign to close the deal and Jhin shook his hand.

He opens the door to the armory, looking at all the cabinets filled with different weapons. 

"My work has brought fear to many foreign dignitaries and to Ionia's secret political underground. And it is time to rise the curtain up again." Jhin said.

 He carefully browse through weaponry. Not long after he finish searching, he could not find the weapon he prefers. He lets out a sigh of disappointment. He walks off from the chest and unintentionally kicked a red briefcase. Curious struck him, he opens it. Inside, a small cloth was covering an item shaped like a gun. The crafts were so unusual to him, he takes away the clothing that was covering it. Jhin immediately noticed that the gun was perfectly crafted. One gold type was inlaid into the blackish-green metal. The smith's name was written on the gun as well.
