Chapter V: The Assassin Part II

Far, far away in a distant land lies a big building where The Council of the Shadow is reuniting to set the things before the game will start.
The President: “As all of you can see everything is going to plan and soon the chessboard will bee arranged and our game will start, we have been planning this for so long and now that everything is falling in place the world will change forever.”
A member of the Council: “But what if he will unravel the truth?”
The President: “He will not find the truth, because all traces of his past are being erased as we speak.”
Another member of the Council: “But he was near our man and almost catches him in Cedar.”
The President: “That is part of the plan to give him the knowledge that a man is keeping him hidden from the world.”
Member of the Council: “You thought about all but I suggest that we don’t underestimate him, after so many failures he will prove to bee a nuisance and hard to control.”
The President: “I have took all the measures so when the time will come for him he will do his duty and make the right choice and change this world in a way that nobody has seen before.”
Member of the Council: “Then we leave the rest of the preparations to you and the handle of the boy but bee warned that we don’t tolerate failures as you well remember what happen to your predecessor.”
The President: “I promise I will not fail and succeed where he failed to do what is necessary to change the world.”
Member of the Council: “You better, we have been waiting for this moment for a long time and if you screw up he will take care of you.”
The Members of the Council retreated to their chambers as the President smiled with confidences of his actions that soon he will bring change to the world and will have the honor to know the leader of Council of the Shadow. He is only known as a myth as a legend who created this Council and made all of their rules and purposes. But no living soul has seen him, only the one that will complete the goal will bee allowed to see him and made the right hand of the leader. This was his dream since a member of the Council; he read the story and heard the whispers of the one that created this place and know so close to his dream that he can touch the sky so confident and ambitious.
In a dark room a man laughs standing at the window and watching the people walking and doing their job unaware of the change that is coming and the game that is almost set to begin and their lives will never bee the same.


Three people tired after a day that changed their lives where resting, one in a dark corner of a building angry that he lost his change to get his answers and still wondering why a man will kill this people that had a piece of his past, who is he that people die to hide this secret?. Another in his room lying in his bed amazed by this day that confronted him with his obsession that lead him on a trail of sadness and booze. The last of them was gathering is things ready to move in the morning after the meeting with the kid and still in shock after what he was about to do, the rules that he obeyed stated that no child and especially that kid will not bee harmed even if it brings dead to the assassin.
The assassin was preparing to go but as he walked out of his room he remembered is training with his sensei. Ten years in the past a group of kids is gathered to begin their training in the way of the assassins and learn the way of the assassin. Five master’s with black clothes and their faces covered are ready to chose the kids that will become the assassins of the next generation, he was scared as the rest of the children where taken to their master’s and he alone left there in the cold of the night without nobody to pick him. A man from the shadow watches the kid as he trembles but doesn’t move from the place where he was put, he sees the fear in his eye but also the courage to stay and don’t move. He grabs the gun points at the kid and shoots but the kid doesn’t even blink as he hears the gunshot, he heads towards the kid with the gun pointed at his head ready to kill the kid. The kid sees the man with the weapon pointed to his head and realizes that because nobody has chose him he will disappear in the night like another ghost, scared and freezing he finds the hate inside him to fight for his life and ready to give everything before the darkness takes his soul. The man approaches the kid but a length of two feet he stops and says: “Kid you are the last of your group and nobody has considered you of value to take you for training.”
The kid reply: “I know so you are here to kill me? But a fair warning before I die, I will fight with every thing I got.”
The man: “(laughing) very good kid you pass the test you proved that you have what it takes to be an assassin and a man of great courage and honor.”
The kid: “So all of this was a test but everybody else? Why me?”
The man: “Because they will not become assassins not like you, you will be the one that he will call you when you are ready to take your place as an assassin.”
The kid: “I understand and I will do my best not to fail you my sensei.”
The man: “Good you are disciplined let’s go your training begins tonight.”
The man lead the kid towards the shadows where his training will begin, leading to this moment when a kid in search of answers will follow him in the shadows. In that night his life changed and after a hard training he realized the dream of his master becoming the first assassin to be called for duty by the leader of the assassins. He was chosen to bee something special, something that one day could change the path of the human nature.
The night was ending and the assassin reached another city where another target is about to be eliminated, he is ready to do his job but this time with care as somebody is on his trail and this time he can’t kill the kid because of the law. He killed many people without a blink of an eye but this time things are different he is no longer alone somebody else is following his victims as he heard on the news that the kid was noticed in the town at every dead but he still doesn’t see the connection between him and the boy.
The assassin meet another pawn as the game was preparing to begin, the hunter realized a connection between the kid and the group of assassins but wasn’t sure what it was and the kid more angry for passing the opportunity to find the answers to his questions. The paws where connected in ways that evaded them but just one more piece and the game will begin changing their lives and fates. The pieces on the board ready to be moved but one piece was missing a piece so important that without her the game can’t start.
In the darkness the shadow awaits the moment the game will begin, the pieces are almost ready the board is set as the last piece is heading towards the table and the most important game of the world will begin. The world is moving unaware of the change that will come and of the pieces of a chess game that for a long time waited to take their place on the board.
