"You maim and kill those you deem unworthy, and expect me to work with you to murder yet another. Are you deranged?!" "Never said I wasn't. I merely asked for your help against a common enemy." "How do I know you won't betray me, stab me in the back?" "Simple. Real friends stab you in the front, so you see it coming." ~~~~ Alyx, a noted serial killer with a red sheet as long as the kingdom was wide. Kian, a former aide to the King himself, found no-so-discretely supporting a rebel community. When the King's orders take a sudden turn from rash to egregious, the two have no other option than to work together to take down the monstrosity before them and restore a peace to their people. That is, of course, if they don't kill each other first.
