Each attendee is expected to take a picture at the entrance of the Ball.
Pandora had known many wars. She wandered on the corpses and the blood of her enemies. Her fellows. The land of Sarnaut was an ossuary, and its inhabitants, those who had had the luxury of surviving the multiple bloodsheds, were bound to dwell upon their dead. Forever. Because no piece of land was left unscathed. Each was tied up to a memory, a dream, a nightmare, a fear, or a tear.
Yasker himself had sent her a note. The peace was yet again in jeopardy. The long-achieved Elven truce was about to come to an end. And she would not let that happen. She knew order within the elves was a pillar to the Sarnautian harmony.
Pandora loved the peace. Who didn’t ? But she was willing to die for it. Despite being constantly reminded of its cost. Of the people she had lost. Of the humanity she had to give up on in order to survive. Deeply, she felt she needed to make amends for all the lives she had taken. Ironically, she would make those amends by taking other lives. Again and again. An everlasting vicious cycle. Though she was telling herself it was for the greater good. For peace. That peace everyone had longed for for millenniums. Eventually, she would lose herself in the process. Perhaps she was already forsaken by now.
There it was, about to drop from the palm of her hand, the only thing she had left to cherish. So fragile. So vulnerable. A tiny little thing which could break at the smallest blow.
The Halloween Masquerade Ball which was to be held at Galleon Castle was the target. She had been told that one of Armando de Doucer’s followers was planning to attack the King, Louis de Desirae, during the festivities. The Masquerade Ball was the perfect opening, since all faces would be concealed : costumes and masks were compulsory.
Engineers were the ones called when the job needed to be clean. Warriors, Paladins, and Scouts had the tendency of leaving a mess behind them. As for Mages, Priests, and Summoners, their magic left stains. There were no marks left after Engineers, for they were not fighting via light, or shadow, or elemental magic, only via science and logic. Their mind was their greatest and most dangerous weapon.
That night she had dressed herself all in white. She looked like an angel in the middle of the crowd. Her wings ran alongside her long and elegant gown. She had chosen her attire very meticulously. She had a refined sense of irony. She knew nobody in the room would suspect an angel to be an assassin. And even less suspect an angel would hide blades in her petticoats, and deadly steel mosquitoes in her corset.
