Sora sat down on a rooftop, her amethyst necklace dangling from her neck, within the gemstone the power was concealed. She shuddered as she looked at her hand, which was covered by a thick leather glove. She slowly flexed her fingers, her other hand going to the necklace. She'd been granted this power fourteen years ago. by a demon, after it had slain her family. She knew, if she relied on the power too much, she would turn into a Demon. That was why she'd been reluctant to be an assassin, it would require using her powers at least sometimes, but she had to use her unique talents for something. She hopped down, and went into the forest, carefully searching the ground, until she noticed a tree that split into three limbs at the same height. She smiled softly, and dug at the ground. This had been her big project with her power, before she'd realized what the curse mark did. Slowly she uncovered a grate, and pulled it free, revealing a ladder. She'd relied on the extra strength to dig the hole, and it had led straight into an underground cave. Of course, she knew the stories about miners dying in freshly discovered caves, so she'd left it for a few weeks before coming back. Along one curved wall was her weapons, and she slowly put her dual knives there, but kept her throwing knives, she never left without them. Along the wall was a light bow, a small crossbow that could be easily concealed, but didn't muster enough force to pierce iron armor. Nothing she had had that capacity, unless she used her powers. She sighed, really needing to learn some real spells, but couldn't afford the time to take a stay at the Mages' College.
