"Both of them were very...collected. Your mother tended to be less patient then your father however. They would have been 29 or so when both were killed. A contract gone wrong you see. It involved some unstable politics in the gellidius region. I won't go into it but both were confirmed to have been killed."
-
"Is that contract still open?"
-
"Ha! No. We dealt with that years ago." The Master told Zane. "Zane, there is another reason I called you here. Your eagerness to take up your first contract only imbeds my thoughts."
-
"Wait, am I finally gonna get to go out!" He exclaimed.
-
"Yes. You will be. Are you ready for your first contract?" The Master asked Zane.
-
"Yes sir! I won't let the clan down!"
-
"I know you won't." The Master told Zane. "Your target is a girl known as "Mira." She is the daughter of some very powerful people who are responsible for deaths from the clan. End her as an example to her parents. I'll have the mistress deliver you more information within the hour."
-
"Yes sir. For the clan." He bowed then walked away, returning to the outside.
-
As he walked outside, he saw his black haired sister waiting. Her hands were on her hips as she looked up at him. "Zane!" She says as her eyes sparked with life. "What happened?!"
-
"I'm getting my first contract! They are finally letting me go outside this dome. I'm getting more details at 7 pm."
-
"What?! That's great!" Setsuna told him. He knew she had already had her own contracts in the past. "Did he give you the really confusing speech about Fate?" She asked him.
-
"Yeah....I'm not gonna lie, I hardly followed what he was saying. He give you the same speech?"
-
"Ya. But I haven't been able to find any form of power in me yet... Unlike you, apparently. I can't believe I missed it!" She said as Zane got closer to her.
-
"Honestly it took me by surprise. I felt like I was about to drop then I just became full of energy. Made it all the way to the top and flipped upwards so I was standing on the bar."
-
"Well, guess I'll have to catch up to you then little brother!" Setsuna told him with a smile as she waved him on to follow him. "C'mon though. While you wait for your information we should stick by Aki."
-
"Yeah, how's he doing by the way? I was pretty worried about him, that fall looked pretty bad."
-
"He's out cold." Setsuna told him. "Let's head to the house. He's sleeping there. The mistress gave us three a day off today. Well, except you I guess."
-
"Alright, be sure to watch over him while I'm out yeah?"
-
"Of course, Zane. I already do that whether you are on a mission or not!" She told him. "But we should check on him still."
-
"Yeah, gotta make sure he's gonna be ok and all. Have you ever had a contract before?"
-

-
"Right, sorry. So does the money for the contract go to us or the leaders?"
-
"The mistress and the Master get the money." Setsuna told Zane as she pulled open the door. "That's just how it is."
-
He let out a light sigh as he walked inside, and took off his shoes by the door. "Dang, I was hoping we could earn extra money that way. We assassins really have it hard huh?" He asked Setsuna.
-
"Ya. We do." The entered the home and Setsuna and Zane walked up the stairs. Zane's sister walked down the thin hallway till she reached the door on the end. She opened it up which allowed Zane to look inside and see the small room. There was a bed, a desk, and a box of clothes. Aki lay on his bed, his eyes shut and his stomach rose up and down slowly.
