Arvanni's nascent scheme

Aavesh stood in an imposing Imperial Hall, A Large Statue of his Ancestress sitting imposingly on the throne while 10 Hooded beings sat on Circular Rows around him, with him standing at the center.

They all looked at him with curiosity, suspicion and open hostility.

The Highlords - the secretive organization that stepped in to administer the Imperium Federation after the Destruction of the Adhi Clan, Aavesh knew about the paranoid pedantic lot that controlled all the factions ruling the Imperium.

"We will keep this brief"

" We recognise you initiative and bold interpretation of the Lex Imperialis Protocols, therefore we will give you what you need- but in return we require you to find and close the Echoing Vault in the Rim Star, it's genetically tied to you and we require you to simply shut it down and retrieve the information Banks- that is all"

"I agree", Aavesh spoke begrudgingly and then shut the VR set and stood up in the private conference room.

The Rim Star, he knew about that Ghastly place, it was in the Ghoul Sector, A Unique sector which had an unnatural Warped Space unexplainable by current Mythic Studies.

It led into Orc, Elf, Godling, Sprite and Human territories and contained a truly horrifying species with special Extra Dimensional Vaults known as Doom Vaults.

The Ghoul Sector was shared jointly by Sol humans, Orcs, Elves, Sprites and Godlings to contain the threats from these Doom Vaults, that housed a strange Power that didn't belong to this Universe.

The Horrifying species would Target members of the Humanoid Genus Lineage and could cause tremendous harm if they were to escape from the Ghoul Sector.

The Entire Sector was heavily militarized by the 5 Races and was in a constant seige against the creatures that spilled out of the Vaults.

It was a deeply dangerous place.

But it also was a place where he'd find the Dark Elf Arvanni Calisi and her Blood Hunt Guild- finding information about them was a bit of a hassle but with a Demigod backing someone - things get done more faster with a high degree of reliability.

She was the only one left in the Outer Rings, as for Kaustr and that Infant Eating Blood Orc they were in the Inner Rings.

Master Mirror had taken back the blood egg curse after his visit to the Genetor, telling him that he was impressed by Karna's audacity and cunning to subvert Khorramzadeh's ability to track me and hence removed the Blood Egg which had been roaring for vengeance against him.

No doubt, it came with a Caveat, a condition - in the next twenty years - he had to deliver atleast one of the four left in his contract or he would give Aavesh a Black Egg upon failure.

Aavesh obviously didn't want that and was partly glad he could take care of the Dark Elf once he left to do his Imperialis duty on Rim Star.

He then received an update in the GAL net with his Imperium Federation Citizenship, New Bank Accounts, Resources, Properties, contacts and an Upgraded Citizen level along with a recommendation to the Platinum Legion Academy.

'Good', he thought.

"Coral I'm coming back - I have everything, We'll leave for the Prometheus Zeal Systemxm", he informed as he walked back to his impounded ship.

No one was to impede him- so said the Highlords.

Aavesh knew the real reason why the Highlords decided to accept him for now, he proved his identity and survived Khorramzadeh - his official status was unknown after the Ten Tyrants Event.

But his Swirling Flame Mark and his deep Hatred for Khorramzadeh- verified by the Inquisitor proved that he was Aavesh Adhi and he was also a very infamous individual - the Ashen Liberator.

They trusted this reputation somewhat and felt it just right to take a safe bet, though once he completed the Rim Star Mission- things would inevitably change- for better or worse, he didn't know- but that was the future, right now, he had an academy to attend.

Ghoul Sector, The Rim Star System,

Planet D1MN0S,

In a spacious office in Centorum City, A beautiful Pale elf in professional clothes was looking through her Data pads when she received a call.

"Yes? BH Guild Manager AC Zira is speaking", she pressed on the Audio comm, without the Visual option.

--" I have a commission for you because I heard that you are immortal and the Apex in the shadows"--, A suave confident voice spoke through the Audio comm while the pale elf remained expressionless.

" What's the Job?", She cut him sharply and asked.

--" An assassination - I want you to kill Aavesh Adhi"--

Upon hearing that she paused for a moment and replied," He has the backing of a recently ascended Demigod and he is a beast in combat"

--"He's the new bounty hunter"--

"Is that so?", She frowned briefly and then replied," I want Souls - preferably young boys- the task won't be easy and I want a seat in your Empire of Gold - Kaustr", She replied.

--"I knew you would find my identity out within few seconds- you have a deadly information network after all A.C. ... You will get your Souls Dark Elf, Their suffering should propel your strength by 5 fold, you will get a seat but only after the job is completed"--

" Who was the source for this?", she asked calmly.

--"Khorramzadeh, after all Conrad vanished after getting into a spat with the young boy- I fear he has perished "--

"We will prepare but not attack directly now, I have information that the boy will come to the RIM star in the near future ", She explained.

--"You even know the latest information?" --

"Well you weren't the first to contact me for his head and I like to observe potential tough opponents- don't you worry about killing him in the Ho Jax Sector- he is deeply protected by something very Powerful- instead once he comes, I will be his guide to the Echoing Vault "

--" That Vault! I see! You will get all the resources you demand! I will give you a Planet full of humans to your Drukhari compatriots, make sure he dies in the Echoing Vaults!!!"--

"Of course- he will die", Her pale skin turned oily black and her eyes turned glowing crimson," I will personally deal with him"

With that she cut the call and opened a data slate which showed information about Aavesh in great detail.

She reverted to her form and spoke with a chilling whisper," The Echoing Vaults are not as simple as anyone thinks"

She then gazed at the Dark Broken Compass tattoo on her palm.

" The Sabbath worlds will be pleased with a specimen chosen by Master Mirror and I can gain another millennium of absolute truth"

She smiled in an eerie manner briefly before reverting back to her expressionless face.
