The night was young, and filled with stars. The mansion was glowing, decorated with lanterns strung along the windows and winding up the trees keeping watch over the white pebble road littered with carriages and guests making their way to the masked ball. A particular couple entered the mansion, an incredibly tall, dark-haired man with eyes crimson and a wolfish look dressed in crisp black suit and red under-shirt. The girl at his arm wore a dress inspired by autumn, a copper and orange fused dress that trailed in the snow, the leaf-edged pauldrons on her shoulders showering holograms of miniature, orange and amber leaves fluttering down in her wake. Her tawny, brown-blonde hair was curled, drawn up into a high-bun, the strands trawling down the back of her neck and twisting down her temples. Before they stepped into the gold ornate ballroom, the two exchanged a sharp glance between crimson and emerald eyes, and put on their masks of a black wolf and copper owl.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡkic59PCvR6

The two strolled into the ball, the floor filled with dancing couples, dressed in suits of black, grey, brown, stripped and plain, dresses of silk and velveteen, leather and cotton, fluttering and making them appear as if they were gliding across the dance-floor in the popular colors of gold and white, all their faces guised by masks of animals or fairy tale creatures. Those guests lingering amongst the granite pillars glanced their way, taking a long draught of their untouched drinks from colored glasses. Some watched them with a fearful, nervous look, others suspicious, some entertained and others simply curious.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEsISrDW24

“Jenny,” Ace replied, taking a sip of the drink.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR7b5GLF7d
“What’s the plan?” She asked, almost nervous, the glittering drawings of ferns and leaves drawn up her freckled face, those particular freckles mostly covered with alabaster makeup.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡ356deQRrUD
Ace motioned to the young, almost nervous looking man with curled brown hair dressed in a military style red tunic, standing by himself and looking as if he didn’t know what quite to do with himself.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkBFQWc85p
“Seduce him. Lead him up to one of the offices up there. Have some fun, kill him then gather the papers from lord Remington in the desk,” Ace said all casual like, downing the rest of his drink.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBhxMney2m
“Seduce him?” Jenny hissed, staring out into the dance, refusing to make eye contact or even look at the young lord.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5sSjGJb8E
“Yes. I hope it’s not too much of a foreign concept from you. If you’d rather, I could always do it,” Ace smirked, reminding her of a real, rabid wolf baring its fangs.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLZqqPnDYt

Then, after a few drinks, he whispered drunkenly in her ear and she took him by the hand, completely sober despite her fake stagger and consistent giggling as they snuck away upstairs.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU9vQC7ntq

Ace trailed his hands down her back, ignoring her gasp as he kept eye contact with the lordling that didn’t quite care that his partner was trying to get his attention, and gave Ace such a look that made him shiver.

The royal guards raised their rifles, all aimed at Ace. Ace performed his favourite dance move, all in time with the other dancers, as one the gentlemen picked up their ladies and spun a ninety degree spin. For a moment, Ace held his lady closer, long enough so that the bullets aimed at him instead tore into her. Shame, he thought. The red ruined such a pretty white dress. He drew his blades hidden beneath his under-shirt.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn5jC5YJYw

The young lordling had gone to buck his hips up, but instead he shuddered and gasped for air, as her dagger produced from between his shoulder blades. He’d gone to stutter his name, and instead spluttered blood. Jenny pulled his close, his chest pressed against her bare breasts she gripped the daggers hilt.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXlddKsA2w

Seeing the battle below, Jenny took a copper, carved grip from her thigh and motioned a particular motion, a copper bow unfolding out, clicking and twisting to form itself, a miniature scope spinning into existence. She took a strap of pill-looking creations and pressed a fistful of them into a fist, five arrows sliding and clicking out into existence between her fingers. With bow and arrow she rained down hellfire, golden, white-feathered arrows connecting with skulls.copyright protection172ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32qmxb39oT
