(closed rp)
Dusk had settled over Placidium. Citizens were heading home and the lanterns were being lit to light up the streets. In the temple district of the city, there was large old palace. It was referred to as "council house" but in reality it was quite large palace from which the loose government of Ionia operated. It was surrounded by a group of exterior buildings like servants' houses and storage houses, stables and so on. And finally, a large wall that separated this whole complex from the city as means of security. On day, it was open for most visitors to come and go just like the rest of the city, but the heavy wooden gates were closed for the night and area was always guarded. Or so they claimed.
A shady figure quickly crossed the street, climbing over the tall wall separating manor's lands from city.Ā Landing on the grass silently like a large feline, Zed crouched down, blue eyes darting around to scan the small garden he'd ended up in. There were no guards. Snorting with distaste for the lack of security, Master of Shadows sprung forward, quickly crossing the garden and disappearing inside the closest building.Ā If this is how well they guard this place, it's a miracle in itself we have any government officials at all,Ā ninja thought as he sneaked trough the small storage house, heading to the enormous main building completely silently, passing guards with his shadows without much of thought.
Everything was going way too easy but Zed could not shrug off the feeling there was something here. Despite the easiness of his reconnaissance, he felt tense.Ā Maybe the captain of the guard? Would it be Irelia's aura?Ā He wondered, stopping by to take a look at some guards. No. They were too lax for their commander to be present. Something else then. Climbing on the small tile roof, crouching and almost crawling forward as not to be seen, Zed made his way forth towards the center tower and the living quarters of the denizens of palace. Particularly, one old fashioned fool who he'd decided to check up on. Could he reach elder without anyone even noticing?
