But alas, as she peered into its eye, and saw that ever-so familiar gold... [/i] [i]Something within Irina sparked. An insanity. A madness, hiding away deeply. She thought she would never see it again, that the populace would forget the Executioners of Martyr Logarius...she thought Daniel, the man that had murdered her love and sliced her tongue out years ago, had been killed off months ago. She KNEW he was killed off, his name was upon the cherry blossom's trunk...[/i] [i]It was impossible...it had to be.[/i] [i]Jumping up suddenly, Irina's eyes suddenly flashed upon the surrounding area, her left hand suddenly drawing her modified Evelyn pistol as her right hand draw her Rakuyo; a weapon utilized by the lady huntress Maria, the main steel blade sharpened yet bloodstained, as the secondary blade, the dagger, protruded from the brass hilt of the weapon itself.[/i] [i]It was easily seen that she was fearful for her very life...that she was terrified of the one thing that she thought was gone. No, she knew the Executioners were gone...[/i] [i]Then what was that faint glimmer of gold and rusted blood she had seen within the eyes of the bird?[/i]
