~chapter 1~

The ball was held at the castle in Palas and it was packed. There were people from every country and hundreds of avalible women but none that seemed at all interesting.

Dilandau was starting to wonder what had come over him when he desided he would come. These Royals were always so dull. He did his best to stay away from everyone by staying hidden as best as he could in the shadows. But with so many people he did come across a few that wanted to talk to him. When they did he would just glare at them and not say a word and they would usually get the message.

The main room wasn't as big as he had expected. There was hardly enough room to walk around. Except were he was standing. After one guy tryed to talk to him and wouldn't take a hint that he didn't want to talk, he got anoyed and punched him in the stomach just hard enough for the other guy, who turned out to be Duke of some sorts, to spit up blood. Ever sense he was treated at though he had some sort of plague and he was enjoying his space.

There was refreshments set up on one side of the room Dilandau was in and people were dancing in another room just accross the hall.

Dilandau was glaring at another female that was looking at him when a screeming was herd from the ballroom and soon everyone was flooding out of there.

*Maybe this won't be as boring as I had originally though.*

Dilandau made his was to the ballroom as quickly and sighlently at possible, which was easier said than done with so many people panicing. Every time someone would run into him he would throw them aside into the wave of panic.

When he finnally made his way into the ballroom it was mostly empty. In the center of the room there was the body of the King of Palas with a dagger sticking out of his now blood covered throat. His eyes were open in a look of horror that were now glazed over with death.

Right next to his body was a girl with long stawberry blond hair holding another dagger at the throat of one of the King's advisers.

*Well this is very interesting. The King of Palas was killed by a female in his own castle. How pathetic.*

Dilandau, having no intentions to stop this girl from completing what ever it was she was trying to do, stood back and watched.

"What do you want? Please I'll do anything just don't kill me!"

"What I want is to finnish what I came here to do. Your the only thing standing in my way now. Then the King and his number one adviser will be dead. See you in Hell!"

The girl slit his throat in one gracful movment and let his body fall to the grownd lifless. She then looked up at Dilandau and smerked.

"Good Evening General Dilandau. I hope you enjoyed my little show, but I'm afraid I must now leave before that cowards gaurds arive. I'll see you again sometime."

She was a deadly murderous little bitch but she is very talented at what she does. She killed two men and didn't get a spot of blood on her dress or hands. And while saying good-bye she still bowed her head in respect.

Not to far away was a large balcony. The girl slowly made her way towards it. It wasn't until she was right next to the railing that she realized how far up they really were. If she had jumped she would probubly be killed.

The gaurds could now be herd running in the hallway towards them. She realized it was to late now, in a matter of seconds the gaurds would be upon her. And as talented as she was she couldn't take them all out.

*Damn it! All I want is my money for a well done job. I don't want to be killed after I've already completed it! It would be a free job for my employer, and I can't have that.*

She had only really had one opption left. It wasn't one she really wanted to use but she had no choice left.

Dilandau was shocked as he witnessed this girl gracefully spread four pure white wings. He had never herd of a Draconian with 4 wings, but maybe she wasn't Draconian.

The girl looked back at Dilandau and winked just before she took off into the night sky.

Dilandau didn't know what to make of it. He just stood there as if he were in a trance still gazing at where that girl had just been standing.

The gaurds came in a few seconds after she had had left and apon seeing there dead King they imidiatly blamed the only living person still in the room, Dilandau.

Well that was a bit longer but I'll try to make the others longer still. Hope you liked it! I'm trying not to make it to predictable. Well Plz Review!!!
