Chapter 9

Anna looked at Esmia. The black hair and red eyes along with a black cloak to match gave it away, it was really her, the greatest assassin of Shylynn.

"What?" Esmia asked.

"It's really you! The greatest assassin of-"

"I was, until I got caught by Riven!" Esmia growled.

"Excuse me, who?" Anna asked confused.

"Why should I tell you anything?! You're just an assassin in training!" She said.

"I already did training...I'm certified. I'm also on a mission to find the four daggers," Anna said quietly. Esmia looked at her wide-eyed.

"You were actually assigned to do that!? You must be good then, otherwise you wouldn't have been chosen for such a thing!" Esmia explained. Anna smiled a little bit.

"Who are you?" Esmia asked.

"I am Anna. I work for General Eve Zania," She said. Esmia nodded. They began to walk and eventually they exited the dungeon. Outside, it was bright, hot, and sandy. Anna's white blonde hair blew in the wind. Anna gasped.

"My bag...it's with Lasserin!" Anna exclaimed.

"So is mine," said Esmia plainly. Anna sighed in annoyance.

"Where are we? The middle of nowhere?" Anna asked annoyed.

"We are in the Badlands of Roselia," Esmia responded. Anna sighed again.
