This is a tale of a generous vampire who is hosting a party for all the famous assassins of the world, anyone who has made a name for himself and those who have caught his eye are all there. The last of the guests arrive and the host revealed himself down the grand staircase walking slowly down as he speaks "Good evening ladies and gentlemen I am Ignatius Bloodstone the one responsible for summoning you all here tonight, if you thought I'd be an old man by now you're quite mistaken, I am the most famous assassin of my time but I'm also a vampire and being such gives you so much boredom. Allow me to cut to the chase this is no ordinary party no no, this will be a competition to see who will rise to the top, the winner gets to fight me and if you win after all that you get this mansion and my title as the best assassin in the world " he snickers and stopped at the final step. " or you get help from me to forge a magical weapon so powerful it will equal the strength of one million men. After that you can challenge your weapon on me or mount it on your wall in satisfaction " his butler gives him a glass of red wine. "There are two rules in defeating your opponent and that is to either kill them or render them unable to fight " he takes a drink and asked his guests to decide if they agree to the terms of the competition and however wants to fight will have to write contender after their name in the guest book. "Those who will be joining the fight for glory will meet in the armory room that my butler here will guide you to in a moment, there you will gear up with all the weapons you usually would use on one of your missions. If you already have your weapons do kindly meet the rest of your fellow competitors in the area just north of the mansion, we will begin in 3 hours that should be enough time for bathroom breaks and for everyone to eat and be ready to go." He started leading his guests to the ballroom "oh and there are no alcoholic drinks available, we have sodas and punch for you at the bar area." The guests scattered about the room enjoying themselves as Ignatius requested music to set the mood for dancing. There were a lot of beautiful women in the crowd but he was to shy himself to try speak to them at the moment so he studied how the famous assassins stuck together and the beginner assassins grouped up as well. One woman however did catch his eye out all his guests, her eyes had some deep look in it. Ignatius went up to talk talk to her but was interrupted by another guest who was acting rather chummy with him perhaps to gather information about his fighting abilities, he didn't want to risk it. After a while of this man's babbling nonsense Ignatius ended the conversation to look for her eventually he found her in one of the rookie groups. She looks at him with such cute shy eyes, the innocents in her appearance made her a perfect assassin, she ranks number one rookie assassin her academy. "Oh Ignatius I didn't see you there I'm--" he interrupted "Alicia Harker, yes I've heard much about you in your field reports. I've hand picked everyone in this room because they all have my respect as a skilled fighter" he smiles at her while she blushes at him. "Wanna take this conversation some place else she offered " no thanks if you think you can cancel me out of my own competition and and claim the reward before it begins your dead wrong, oh yes I your way of dealing with your targets even though you never wrote it down on your reports. You captivate your target and strike when they are most vulnerable " she looks at him in frustration and defeat as if a small child pouting in front of him. "But I do advise you to stay clear of the competition and just watch how it goes down, your skills won't win this battle " with those words he leaves her to think about her decision.
