The Unneeded and Unwanted Help

I quickly activated my ships stealth capabilities as I had approach the end of my journey through warpspace after a 5-hour journey.

As the blue barrier that surrounded my vessel disappeared and I was able to see the frozen world in front of me I knew that I was at the appropriate location due to the variety of different racial ships that word in my way.

When I was making my way through the active battle around me I dodged all of the active small skirmishes that were occurring so that I could reach the world without any injury to the ship.

The world was constantly going through environmental changes that made it hard for me to land in a safe area.

In order to land in a safe area that was far enough away from the ruins to where I will not raise anyone's attention I had to land about three and a half clicks away from the archaeological site.

I was able to feel an intensity in the air that brought a large smile to my face as I stepped out of my ship and into the world of my target mission.

When I walked out of the ship I noticed that I was on a hill that always completely frozen. In the sky I saw spirals of darkened clouds that were forming above me.

Off in the distance I could see that they first ships were breaking through to land as close to the archaeological site as they possibly could.

As the first set of ships broke through from the clouds above me I could see the simple design and the letters TTC on the side of them.

I made my way down the hill and made my way to a frozen ravine that was in between my landing location and the archaeological site.

Before I entered into the ravine I activated my secondary vision and saw nothing as a result of my secondary vision which meant that the pathway would be safe to walk down at least for now.

After I deactivated my secondary vision and I made my way through the ravine without needing any resistance.

When I made it to the end of the ravine I placed some VX-4 charges on the edges of the ravine so that I could detonate it if I needed to quickly escape without being followed or tracked.

on the other side of the ravine. I was surrounded by trees that seemed to stay eternally white and fruitful even in the harsh environments of a frozen world.

I used the small frozen forest as cover so that the main fighters would not see me until I wanted to reveal myself.

When I was making my way through the forest I could hear that there was an active battle going on between at least three other parties.

I used the enhanced vision that came with our race to see that the battle was actually leaning towards a victory for The Terran Collective.

It was clear that their magical abilities were giving them a very unnatural advantage over the members of the fifth column that were in their way.

It seemed as though I would not be able to get involved in the fight until at least the last party of competitors that I was supposed to kill would arrive.

As I observed the Battle of hand I noticed that a variety of these competitors were all being slayed by a shadowy figure that would only stay visible for about two seconds before disappearing again and striking a few moments later

This person that kept disappearing and moving quickly around the battlefield killing people one by one seem to be a very beautiful female vampire with long black hair and blue eyes.

Did they send someone else that could help ensure that our race would be the one that got this artifact; either way I needed to keep my guard up since I cannot trust anyone much less a woman.

I will no longer trust any woman that I meet because of what the last one did to me. They are the reason why I lost everything and why I no longer trust anyone of that sex.

As I saw her killing people continuously I chose to use that as the perfect distraction to be the first to officially sneak into the Ozdronian Dynasty ruins.

I felt quite upset with myself as I made my way around the battle because as a bounty hunter I was always in the thick of a fight looking at my opponent directly in their face as I captured or killed them.

Due to the uniqueness of this Mission I chose that it would be better for me to stay as far away from the battle as possible so that I would not draw any unneeded attention to myself despite how against my usual nature an action like that would be. As a bounty hunter my client is the most important person at the time; and so I must do whatever it takes to please them.

When I made it into the ruins I was able to tell but these were quite intact despite their age. The Ozdronian Dynasty definitely knew how to make something that lasted in long period of time.

I made my way around these ruins while they were distracted by all of the fighting. It would give me a chance to examine all of the interesting things that were in store for me throughout them.

These ruins contained only eight different structures they were all grouped together in an octagon shape with a giant pedestal in the middle that did not contain the sculpture that I was hired to find.

The ruins were made of a black stone like architecture and throughout each of the buildings walls I was able to see a variety of green gems.

As I walked around the ruins I was able to notice that the font around started to glow and turn a bright white color.

I wondered what all of these different symbols meant but that was not part of my mission so I ignored them and continue to explore the ruins around me.

It took me a while to find the location of the target item of my mission. It was found in what looked to be some kind of shrine or temple.

When I made my way into the temple I could see a massive a fish like person that had gills on the side of her neck. She was wearing a white dress and had three eyes on the top of her head instead of just the normal two that most races seem to have.

Whoever this person was it was clear that they were some kind of god or important figure to The Ozdronian's when they were a fully functioning society.

Behind this statue I saw an entrance way into a smaller room that my intuition told me that I needed to enter the passageway at any cost.

"So whose side are you on?" I heard a female voice ask me from behind.

I then turned around and saw her beautiful tall figure; and I noticed that she matched the female that I saw that was blinking around the field killing members of every species.

"I have been hired by The House of Zenwae to retrieve a specific artifact, and I also must ensure that whatever I do only our race receives this specific item.

"Well since we are clearly members of the same species I can tell you that my family had been hired to kill people of the other races to help ensure our species's success". She said to me as I saw her he was her left hand too brush her long black hair behind her ears.

"I seriously do not see why they would go through the trouble of sending a woman to get the job done. I am a very well-known bounty Hunter among our species and I can get almost any requests done on my own without help from someone else". I said to her as I started to turn around and ignore her.

I then walked into the back area of he building a notice that I was now in a massive archway and inside of it contain the artifact that I was after.

"I will follow you wherever you go in these ruins because I have a hunch that you will end up finding this key item that you are after".

How is it that she would possibly be able to know that I would find it did she possibly consume some Paradise before coming into the temple.

"You know that I am here to help you fulfill our racist mission; and not to harm you right". I said to her as she pushed me away and race towards the sculpture.

"Well if I can trust you I will know in just a brief moment" I said to me as I still in the opposing side of the sculpture examining it.

"Do you think that this artifact is going to be worth all of the trouble that we had to go through to get it?".

"In the end I really do not care as long as I get paid for my work". I'd hold her because I knew that I was going to do whatever it took to complete my mission even if this meant killing her since my client did not request that I spare any specific people I could kill her in any way that I thought would be fun.

As I touched the artifact it started to glow and she quickly followed me by touching it on the opposing side and then the area around me turned completely black until I noticed that I was no longer in the Ozdronian Dynasty ruins.

I was now in an Oasis of some kind inside of a desert; and I was not here alone the female vampire was also presently here which meant that I had to put my urge to kill her aside if I was going to survive long enough to find the way back the ruins once again.
