She claimed they shared a motive, that they'd both claimed lives for the same purpose. Was that true? Love found his brow furrowed as he rolled the idea over in his head again and again. It would be deceitful to pretend he'd had no ulterior motive in liberating this place of filth and sin, but...

"My purpose is bigger than this town, this night." She teased him, dangling that purpose in front of his face while not telling him what it was. Of course, Love did not expect her to be so loose with her information. The fascination he held in the woman was not mutual, and she had no reason to...

Revenge. All of the nervousness in Love's eerie gaze seemed to melt away at the word, his coming alive at a word he recognized, a word he'd experienced. The Assassin's lips parted quietly, repeating what she said silently, forming the letters without speaking them. Revenge was a powerful...

"Have you never been nervous before?" Serryn's question was one that Love would not normally have given much thought to. Nervousness was such a basic emotion, of course he'd experienced it before, hadn't he? The assassin quietly raked his memories for a time when he felt the way that he did...

Love's eyes focused only on the tea, his lips pursing as it began to steam rather quickly. Picking the pot up off of the heat and tapping the side of the device to kill the heat, he brought one hand underneath the kettle to steady it as he poured them both a warm cup. "I am nervous... because I...

Already the interior of the chapel held less carnage than it had when they'd left; Love had removed the corpses and placed them behind the chapel for burial before setting out to find Serryn, and he'd set his shadowkin upon the task of cleaning up any blood or debris while he was out handling...

Both of the women were skeptical of his words, and this he understood. No, he would have been concerned had they blindly accepted his words as truth. Even Love knew that spoken desires went against the teachings and guidelines of the Church that had raised him. Even so, the invisible hand that...

Love had been a very busy boy. You wouldn't know it simply by speaking to the Priest-Level assassin, nor would you see any noticeable change in appearance, his manner, or his undying faith to Mother Meness. Oh, but times, they were a-changing. Love turned his head, masked with a twisted and...

As Love looked down upon Serryn, her words so anxiously awaited and eyes so laden with unspoken thoughts, Love's own mind ran rampant. How deluded and self-righteous must she believe him to be? How foolish and grand were his plans, in those lovely eyes that looked up at him? Oh, how he wished to...

"Show me how" No sooner had the words left the girl's lips did Love's raised hand flick back at the wrist suddenly. In the dim light of the cursed town, the briefest glimmer of reflection would shine off of the surface of thin web-like wires wrapped around each of his fingers, running through...

The young girl, fresh from her first taste of blood and now set upon a deadly hunt for more, did not get far on her mission. The same slender figure that Serryn had met in the church stepped out into the road, holding up a hand to stop the girl, a gentle shake of his head meeting the fire in her...

"Serryn." He tested the name on his tongue, watching her as she carved her way back out of the nest of sin as a hunter slices through the foliage in search of new prey. She left him there, amidst the mess they'd both had a hand in creating. Any stragglers were quickly dealt with by Love's hand...

Considering the calamity around them, there was an eerie calm that lingered within Love's eyes as he stared into those of the stranger. In that momentary meeting of gazes, that brief exchange of words, this woman too earned some small measure of fascination from him. She reeked not of evil, not...

Love stood amongst the death he'd wrought on those sorry few who'd sought only to indulge with him, bodies and blood strewn about his feet at the edge of the bed. Eyelids heavy and a soft, content smile upon his lips he dutifully dressed himself, paying nary a thought to the act he'd just...

Removing the mask from his face, Love donned a thin smile and paid his fee for entry. A place among the entangled bodies, he claimed to seek. The Madame did not refuse, and Love was whisked away to a world of earthly desire in a private room at the end of a long hallway. It was on his path that...
