"Your majesty, I received your summons...you have a contract for me night mother ?" The dark, armor clad assassin asked bowing to the Lunar Goddess.
"Yes, my silencer, yes. The black sacrament has been performed,and you have been sought out personally to carry it out, Syndicate." Luna replied embracing her age old friend.
Syndicate returned his friends embrace, a rare smile splayed across his face.
"Who would you have me end this time, your majesty ?"

I finish the final stitch, giggling as I take a step back, smirking. "Oh Dashie.... you look perfect!" I say as i look at the Rainbow Dash doll I just made, using none other than Dash herself for the making. I walk towards the counter where I have a cup of blood, and sip at it, smiling at it's warmth
(Btw it's an anthro rp)
Syndicate, after receiving his mission briefing was combing the sanctuary's armory for his tool, a large dual bladed deadric scythe, when he found it sitting next to his two pistols, death and despair.
"Ah, there you are." he mumbled to himself. He realized he was about to take on the craziest mare in all equestria, and he'd be damned if he didn't come prepared.
With his gear in tow, he shadow jumped to the small town of ponyville.
After Syndicate landed he melted into the shadows, making sure that his large but slender frame remained in the darkness, less he be taken unawares by any of the gold plated guards. He spotted a familiar face among the crowd of bustling ponies, a pale yellow pegasus by the name of Fluttershy.
He stepped out just enough to allow her to see him.
"Hey, Flutters...over here!" Syndicate called quietly, waving her over to the shadows.
"Syndicate, What are you doing here? You know you can't get caught here!" She quietly exclaimed
" I'm on a contract..." he explained, producing the sealed envelope and handed it to her.She opened the letter , her eyes widening at the contract, "Pinkie? Really?"
"Yes, and I need to know her location..."He answered.
"Okay, but I'm helping you" Fluttershy said pulling the hood over her head.
1935716 (So sorry, you need to add the reply or i will not get the notification)
I hum a bit more as I clean my blade, a silver dai-katana. I set it down next to some of my other sharp implements: Tantos, katanas, broadswords. All tools I use in catching, killing my prey, evil grin on my face as i grab the whetstone to sharpen
1935740
*walks up to the cellar door of sugar cube corner, Syndicate unfurling his large black feathered wings to shield Fluttershy as he raised a gauntlet up to the lock, his claws glowing a sickly crimson as a burst of pure magic shot clean through the lock, drawing his pistols, he slowly pushed the doors open with his boot*
1935747 I grin as I see the door open, flicking a switch to my right. "I SEE YOU!" I yell as darts shoot up the steps, the tips coating in poison and diamond, the diamond for maximum penetration.
(Every murderer has to be paranoid
)
1935750
* fires at the darts, Shy and Syn dodge the rest in unison as Syn literally melts into the shadows, while shy launches kunia knives at the pink demon*
1935763 I yawn as the kunai are thrown, using my katana to deflect them with ease. "Really now.... FLuttershy.... why bother?" I ask with a grin, giggling as I flcik another switch, illuminating the room, leaving no shadows. "Petty tricks.... won't work on me.... I have trained with them all.... Nightangales, Companions..... Imperial, Stormcloak...." I say as I draw a tanto, holding it in my other hand. "You can't kill me."
1935768
Oh really? Who said anything about killing?* Syndicate questioned appearing behind you, arm around your Stomach*
We want you alive...
1935787 I grin a little bit as Syndicate wraps his arm around my stomach, the tip of my tanto against his stomach. "I know who you are, Dark Brotherhood assassin."
1935918
*Syndicate grins, The deadric helmet morphing into a glowing jackolantern face.* "We have been watching you, Pinkie..."Syndicate said, pulling her closer unafraid of the tanto on his stomach. "And, we are not the only ones...the dissappearences are more frequent, and your sales are through the roof..."
1938236 I give a little cackle, smiling. "Why thank you. I've been trying new ways to mix the ingredients. In fact, I was just putting the finishing touches on some.... Rainbow Cakes." I say, looking at Fluttershy with a smile. "Sorry about your marefriend Shy.... but her number came up." I say with a giggle, grinning. "Your lucky though..... I let you live."
1938360
"I never really cared that much...she was an old contract anyways" Fluttershy replied, sheathing her bladeshe looked at Syndicate, a frown on her face. "You can let go of her now..."she growled.
Syndicate laughed, taking off the helmet, his crimson eyes glowing brightly
" Whats wrong Shy...Jealous?" He snickered, before Flutters came up and socked him in the nose, making him let go and fall onto one of the very sharp broadswords.
"Aww, not this shit again...." he cursed getting back up, now impaled through the back all the way out. red magical energy escaped though the wounds in place of blood.
1938521 I frown a bit as Shy does this, tossing my tanto at her expertly, aiming for a chink in her armor, just at her neck as I walk over to Syndicate. "You alright? Sorry about her, she's kind of a bitch at times."
1938777 *Shy side steps the projectile, sticking her tongue out, while Syndicate slowly pulled out the broadsword allowing it to clatter to the floor, his chest plates dissipate into darkness, leaving his wounds exposed as he inspected them.* "I should be fine, though I need to recarve the sigils in my arm if I want this to seal up" he replied pulling a thin blade from his belt, it was Mahrunes Razor, and offered it to Fluttershy. "Oh , no, not doing it, I don't play with that kind d of magic " she said hands up.
"....."( Syndicate poker face)
1938970 I look at Shy and sigh, shaking my head. "Even if you are a feared Assassin, Fluttershy.... your still a big chicken!" I say as I grab the Razor from Syndicate, eyeing the blade carefully. "Oh ho ho.... the Instant Death enchantment.... what was it, five perfect chance of dying the moment this blade pricks your skin? Very, very deadly." I say. "So... what do the runes look like?"
*hands her a scroll with the sigils required*" seeing as it can only kill the living...I'm safe, but they look like that, though Luna makes me carve all of them, only some are nessecary for me to live"
1938972
...
1938988 I nod my head, taking a look at the scroll. "Why with the Razor though?"
1940371
While I hate to admit it, the cursed knife is beneficial to those who were once dead. The Lord Dagon works in strange ways. *removes the armor on his right arm.*
1941320 I nod my head as I start to carve. "If that's the case, than why not use Dawnbreaker?"
1941345
( poker face) "I'm a shade...or a creature of the night...Dawnbreaker would fucking destroy me.
I was ripped apart by the demons of that hell hole, Tartarus on a rescue mission to save our beloved night mother from apothica...." Syndicate trailed off, remembering the imense pain of being literally ripped apart by apothica's Daedra, he remembered shoving Fluttershy and Luna out of the demon gates, and locking them behinde the girls, and the turning to face the denizens of the forbidden library, drwing his dual daedric swords to hold them off, and being grabbed by a tentacle and slammed into the gate repeatedly, losing his senses as the seekers weakened him, and finally falling to the vicious blows of the lurkers, all the while the girls screaming his name trying to open the gates.
Fluttershy looked away, remembering how hard they tried to save him, but failing, and remembering helping Luna bring him back to life as she had crafted his body, an identicle replica of his old one, made of his DNA and black soul gems, pulling his soul from the void and binding it to the body, turning him into a shade, the ultimate assassin, and the santuary's new guardian. " The runes bind his soul to the body, and have to be recarved every day, due to his body's super natural healing ability. Syn, you remember when I had to teach you how to fly?" She asked.
" yeah, and combusting into flames when Luna forgot to carve the runes again."He chuckled to himself, letting Pinkie go back to her work.
1941452 "Ohh..... I should probably advise you to stay away from the kitchen counter than." I say, nodding my head towards the counter where Dawnbreaker lies, carving the required runes into his arm. "So... tell me: Am I to die?"
1941466 *hands pinkie the once seal contract, gets up, the armor forming on his arm once more, the wounds sealing up, he slid an amored bandolier over his head a quiver of daedric arrows filling the and a bow matching the arrows followed suit, he sheathed the bow and pulled an iron dagger out his boot. walking over to pinkies 'list' and shredding it* " pack your things pinkie, the guards are coming..." Syndicate replied tossing the knife at Fluttershy, who doged it impaling one of the royal guards hovering at the door, the other sprinting to alert to others. Syndicate whistled, and a loud roar could be heard as a Black shadowy dragon landed, Gouts of red flame engulfing the sprinting guard as he had reached the others. Syndicate grinned at pinkie before sliding the smiling sadistic daedric helm over his face, eyes glowing brighly through the black slits. Thats our ride, so I would hurry"
1941499 I nod my head as I dart to a bag, grabbing it, and Dawnbreaker, along with a thin black blade, a matching thin looking black bow and ebony arrows, and follow you. "Had to grab the Nightangale gear.... can't let them have this, no no." I say as I strap the swords to my sides, the bag slung over my back, an arrow nocked on the bow.
1941508 *grabs hold of pinkies arm, and Fluttershy's arm, and shadow strides to the dragon*
" Dulum! We need to go NOW!" Syndicate Bellowed, Dulum nodding immediatley, lowering himself so the girls could get on. " Yes, Master. Dulum replied.
1941527 I hop onto Dulum's back, my bow ready in my hands, letting loose an arrow at a guard, hitting him in the eye. "I've always wanted to do this!" I say as I ready my next shot
194155 *hops on behind pinkie, Fluttershy taking to the skies. Syndicate charging a blast of energy and releasing it and obliterating a battalion of golden guards, while the Lunar guards looked the other way. Dublin rises up into the sky, Syndicate holding Pinkie in place due to having no saddle* Time to go home.
1941557
* The four soar in the sky, far above he clouds, going around clouds dale, and towards canterlot, where Dulum begins to circle an abandoned mine shaft.* " Shall I land us here, Sndicate?" Thr large dragon asked.
Syndicate nods his head."yes, the sanctuary lies just below, take us down, CAREFULLY." Syndicate answers, emphasizing the last word for importance. Dulum nods and begins the decent into the huge gap under the mountain that lead to the crystal caves.
1943769 I giggle a bit, humming softly. "You know, for a secret soceity, you don't hide your secrets very well!" I say with a smirki
1951517 well you must understand...we dont need to hide. When you are the most feared fraternity club in equestria...you get perks. Like having the lunar guard cover our tracks...Syndicate replied as Dulum pitched forward diving deeper into the caves, where no light could be seen, causing him to Illuminate the area via, his hand being engulfed in luminous red flames. Throwing the crystal caves in an eerie glow.
1956154 I nods my head, looking around as best I can. "SO why do the Nightangales have to hide and the Dark Brotherhood don't? Can't be cause of serving gods... they both do."
Stalks through the shadowy crevices without a sound.
1956672 looks like we got company. Syndicate says nodding his head towards a group of shadows.
Looks like my brother...he watches the entrance
1957389 You can come out brother
The shadows move, forming a figure in the dark. A pair of deep red, crimson colored, dragonic eyes could be sen, cutting through the darkness like a crimson blade.
1958115
1958193 My bow is out, an arrow aimed towards the eyes, but when Syndicate says it is his brother, I ease up. "Don't sneak up on me." I say as I look at the two of them. "Could i have some privacy? Gonna change into something more comfortable."
1958941 *The eyes move up then down, appearing to nod in respect of your wishes. Then they move over towards Syndicate*
1958941 *turns His Head away walking towards his brother. Why Are you so on edge? You know I was going to bring her...Syndicate Asked pulling his brother into a brief hug.
1958944 ...
1959060 *chuckles lightly, returning the embrace* "You know me, brother. I always have my reasons." he replies, voice sounding like a growl.
1959060
1958944 A quick shuffling is heard, the clanging of a blade. "Alright, done." I say, my voice taking on a wispy tone. WHen they'd turn around, they would see that I am now dressed in my Nightangale armor, the sword at my side, bow and quiver on my back
1959065 "Well...looks good on you to say the least..." Syndicate replied. Giving her a good look over, noticing some flaws in the equipment alltogether. "But I can make it better,if you wish"
1959075
1959063 "Why would I want you to improve?" I ask in my wispy voice. "I can carry more, walk silently, strike harder, and steal better with this armor. And I can cause chaos in an instant."
1959075
1959339 "She is correct brother. While she is not as protected as she could be, she is more agile." Syndicate's brother said, siding with Pinkie
1959523
1959339 "Ah, oh well. I was going to use void salts to enhance its overall protectiveness,without physically altering the armor. Also, we both know that a standard whetstone won't sharpen that blade...." Syndicate rambled to himself.
Fluttershy swooped down landing in a sitting position on Dulum' s head. "Sorry Pinkie, you'll have to excuse Syndicate, he is our sanctuary's blacksmith, he knows all the tricks of the trade, and makes everything himself, even my armor was made by him." She said gazing at Syndicate as he approached the skeletal black door.
1972374
1959339 Arcanon falls to his knees, clutching at his chest as crimson cracks begin to spread across his body originating from his chest.
1959523
1972374 I nod my head as I look towards Syndicate. "I use an empty black soul gem to sharpen my blade." I say, taking the aforementioned gem, showing it. "Works like a cha-" I start, turning to Arcanon, the blade out in an instant, the runes on it glowing. "What in the Divines?!"
