"Olive. You have returned....... so soon?"

I bowed, "Yes, your majesty."

"Hmm. Was the job completed?"

"Yes your majesty."

"Very well then. Where is the body now?"

"In the basement, along with the others milady."

"Good.'"

I looked around the room. It was pure white everywhere, except for trimmings of gold all along the corners or the room. Not a single spot of dirt or any imperfections. I felt dirty compared to it, gross. I was covered in blood, sweat, dirt, and probably a bit of tears, (from my victims of course). Queen Maeve lifted her chin.

"So. I'm sure you know what I am about to tell you."

Uhh. Nope. I do NOT know what you are going to say. Another victim? Probably. Am I an assassin? Yes. Am I a psychic? NO.

"Uhm, no...... you're majesty."

"Well as you know, the Elodian mountains have started moving away from Elodia and towards Letonia. Three of our best Azerla were sent to  stop them, and they haven't retuned."

My stomach jolted. The Azerla of Elodia were known to be the most powerful wizards. I nodded my head and looked up at the queen.

"And, as everyone knows, you, Olive, are the most powerful assasin."

I started to sweat. I could put two and two together.

"We need you to venture into the Elodian Mountains, and open the gateway, to free us."

There it was. I started to shake. Before I could tell myself otherwise, I nodded my head.

" Of- Of course, your majesty. A-a-anything."

With that she dismissed me. A soon as I got out of sight, I sprinted to my room in the castle.
