Chapter 2(7) Assassin squad

Stepping closer to him, the songs melody became clearer its melody that of calmness and an underlying current if determination and hope. I smiled gently at that thought, I am hopeful that I would be able to get this life through get Lily out of my head and soul and get the seals off so that I could grow stronger. Though the calmness is only a side affect of having been reborn so many times over, sometimes I'd wake up far in the distant future sometimes way back to the beginning of time and some times I'd be reborn in my mother's womb or as a simple child, each time added to new experiences and new emotions. I stopped next to him, the melody changed to that of longing, longing....? Probably for piece, friendship, kindness, affection and love. He paused his head titled to look up at me, but his eyes completely past over my head. I blinked, he had purple eyes, with a milky white fog eclipsing it's brightness. He's blind.

"Muzing's prodigy?" I ask, my voice soft and curious. He nodded.

" Yes, I am Razé Tri Su." He answers. "May I know your name young Miss?" Razé asks.

"Asher of the Dawn clan, or rather Asher Dawn, but call me Asher. It's nice to meet you Razé, where did you learn to play such beautiful music, if I am allowed to know?" I ask, already knowing the answer.

" It's my element, but I learned this through the teachings of my Master Muzing." Says Razé. I nodded and nearly hit my forehead after realisation struck me. Idiot! He can't see!

'Pfftt, nice one!' Lily commented.

"The squad are waiting on us in the square, do you mind coming with us?" I ask.

" Why do you have so many weapons on your body?" Razé suddenly asks, I looked down at the Fox sword and then at the sword strapped to my back.

"For protection against demons and Fea." I say.

" Fea?" He asks rising to his feet and zipping the harp into a bag placing it on his shoulders.

"Creatures thought to be possessed by Satin or the Devil, in my world it's a common occurrence for people to go insane and therefore attack other near by people,so every one of us are trained since birth to wield any and all weapons. Now can we please hurry up,I do not mean to sound rude but we have to be in the square before sundown." I say,holding out my hand,he nodded but then shook his head holding out his hand, I grinned and flipped my hand over taking his in mine before moving on wards and retracing my steps.

'Someone is following us. ' Lily says, her voice clear and loud in my head. I bobbed it in acknowledgement.

'I realize that, mind keeping an eye out, all mighty crazy one?' I praised playfully as we turned a corner and followed the pathways to get to the square.

'Yes, grandma.' Lily shot back.

Rolling my eyes I subtly increased my pace with each step that I took, but apparently it wasn't subtle to Razé who looked at me, or rather where he assumes me to be, in confusion and curiosity.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Oh nothing much, just being followed, is 'll." I hummed as I reached out and grabbed the hilt of sword my grip tightening. His eyes widen in what I assume his surprise.

"Why haven't they attacked yet?" Asks Razé.

"Follow, investigate than eliminate if threat. We currently aren't a threat so consider yourself including myself lucky. " I say as we turned another corner to get to the square which stood a mile away, and everyone was waiting there.

".... You mean the strike squad is following us?" Asks Razé.

"No. The assassin's squad." I respond and came to a halt in front of Heru who was talking to Yuri, a concerned look plastered on his face.

"Sir. Heru, Miss. Yuri I found him, and apparently we have a visitor too." I say pointing to the assassin's general location.
