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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CrUe9KSCa

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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DFhmdFdvV

“Jenny,” Ace replied, taking a sip of the drink.copyright protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡf28fFtTnXE
“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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVzW2hcF0a
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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gNM2ab3gb
“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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡrweALT4Fh1
“Seduce him?” Jenny hissed, staring out into the dance, refusing to make eye contact or even look at the young lord.copyright protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3WTZZacEb
“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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFsarulDxC

He clearly couldn’t help but smile shyly in return. She twirled a strand of hair in her long fingers and cocked her head, listening to him awkwardly arrange his words.copyright protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMNf3TvBBI

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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NB87P5B3R

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. So much so, Ace didn’t notice the royal guards entering the mansion with a particular set of targets.copyright protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwBOIdg2wv

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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIKoBDkOTK

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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZbqlMCJKA
“Careful now,” She breathed into his ear as he convulsed.copyright protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkjzJVd4J7
“Soulstra is a virgin, hasn’t been inside no man before. Be gentle,” Jenny yanked Soulstra out and wiped the blood against his shirt, and tucked it into a sheath on her upper-thigh. copyright protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuLwGNX2oq

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 protection238ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ76a8UMK1
