A Bitter Wind

Chapter one.

TW//  frequent mention of death and assassination  

A/N: the ages are a different in this story so Nick and Clay are both 21-ish and George is 20 (ill introduce more character ages as they get introduced.) 

Clay laid on Nick's bed, they lived in a tavern, the wood floors would always creek but he liked it there, they both did. Clay laid there staring at the wooden ceiling and all the imperfections it held, holding his favorite dagger in his hand fiddling with it, he maneuvered it just right so that he wouldn't get cut. normally he wouldn't care but he didn't feel like getting blood on his favorite blade, it was made from a glass like material, the entirety of the blade was clear, the edges cut precisely enough to break skin with even the tiniest bit of pressure. The clear blade had a smiley face carved in at the bottom of it, right next to the handle, the handle that perfectly fit his hand, the handle that  was covered carefully in a dull thin black leather. he really did think it was pretty. 

"well," Nick said as he entered the room, "Schlatt gave us our next task already, thought he'd give us a bit of a break after the last assassination we handled, it's only been 6 hours." Clay scoffed, he did respect Schlatt but he knew there was no such thing as breaks when it came to him.  "Shouldn't be to surprising" Clay remarked as he sat up, he looked at Nick, Nick had brown hair that was semi-long and carefully combed over to the side, his brown-hazel eyes had a particular shine to them, it was nice, Nick overall had a very charming appearance. He was tallish about 5'10 maybe 5'11, but clay happened to beat him in the height game being 6'3, that didn't matter to much though. Clay continued to get off the bed as he requested to know what Schlatt had in mind for them this time around. "So, who are we after?" Nick made an uncomfortable glance to clay and continued, "The queen Niki and King Wilbur's son, George, and apparently some acquaintances, but he thought it'd be a good idea to send kids.. with us for their training". This triggered Clay's interest, "those kids?" Clay asked, "yup, those ones." Clay laughed a bit underneath his breath he didn't mind them but he didn't know if they were ready for a mission like this yet, they were only teens.
