Mercenaries (Alleria and Zennoch)

Alleria flew around the castle just to make sure there were no remnants left behind. It would suck if they left without double checking. Alleria and Korchin kept on their course when her summon spoke up "Hey master, when was the last time that you have been here?" Alleria tried to remember. Since her exile, she was not able to go near any castle, even the haunted castle. "Why ask me that all of the sudden? Its not like you guys would get to live with me or anything." Her summons are fairly new after all but because of the up link, they were also able to see a glimpse into her past. "Just because, you seemed like a better person then." She stopped midway and glared at Korchin "I was a weak person then. And if wasn't for my awakening, you wouldn't be here at all." Both then resumed on their way. "We probably would have been better off if you had not waken up."Korchin said in a low voice. Of course Alleria caught what he said but asked him anyway "What did you say?" Sweat formed on the bats forehead "Uh I said nothing my lady." There was an awkward silence after that. The silence was only broken after Alleria spoke up "Alright, seems everything is clear. We should head back to my mutant partner."

They circled right back, back to the eyesore of a hole on the castle's roof and descended. She turned to her partner and said "Seems the castle ground is clear. We can finally take a rest now, or we can report to Mrs. Strauss that the job is done and done. Also Ill take care of the roof thing, just stick to the story that its the assassin's fault that the ceiling caved in." Then she turned to the two guards and called them over. "Her boys, would you guys be a dear and come here over for a second."

Zennoch continued to walk until he came across Alleria and her slave who had taken care of any stragglers. She also managed to hypnotise the two guards who were witnessess to the roof accident. "Not bad. All thats left now is to report in and get paid." They continued on toward the lady's chambers where their payment awaited them. Zennoch walked beside his partner, but the slave helped him keep up the pace with his injury. Finally they came across the door to the lady's room. The guards in front of the door opened it for them and they began their conversation with their employer Mrs. Strauss. "Well my lady, all of the assassins are taken care of. Your husband didnt see us and is nice and comfortable in his bed." Mrs. Strauss looked over at the hypnotized guards who nodded in confirmation of what Zennoch said. "Thank you for protecting my husband, you have my eternal gratitude." She looked at the injured Zennoch, "You have sacrificed your body for the job, I will be sure to reference you Mr.... Mr. Zennoch." Zennoch rolled his eyes a bit in impateince, "As much as I love a good reference, I wouldn't mind being paid. The quicker I get my income, the quicker I can get myself treated and drunk." Mrs. Strauss went for the jewels in a fluster, "Of course. Of course. Here you are." Zennoch and Alleria began to walk out of the room, "Oh, I almost forgot. I found this jewelry on the floor in the hall... I figured you'd want it back." Zennoch placed the jewelry down on the desk without looking at the Lady's horrified face and continued out.
