Magic can be scary, it’s hard to control and it can ruin everything,” he says, then snaps, “Just like that.”
“I’m not–!” Theseus tries to protest, but the man stops him. You’re a mage hunter, right? Of course you’d be suspicious of mages,” the guy tries to make a joke of it, but Theseus frowns at the fake smile. The guy laughs nervously. “Or not! Totally not.”Īfter a tense moment, Theseus sheathes his knife with a sigh. “I don’t know why, but I believe you. Going against the monarchy is kinda cool though.” Okay? I don’t know any guy by the name of Kore. I live a simple life, alright?” the man says. “I perform in Mika’s for a living I play my little flute, sing my little songs, do some illusions for birthday parties. “Don’t play coy! Every mage and their mother knows Kore, he’s behind every major attack in the past months since his declaration against her lady,” Theseus says, annoyed. “Uh.” The man scratches his head, thinking. “Who’s Kore?” “I’m as good as they say, right?” Theseus repeats sarcastically, then gestures to the man’s necklace. “You think I don’t know a mage when I see one? I bet it was Kore.” The man stops smiling abruptly, glancing from the blade to Theseus. “What?” he asks, surprised. Theseus whips out his knife, quickly taking on a defensive stance. “Who sent you?” While examining him, Theseus notices the necklace with a telltale crystal, shaped as a flower, rests on his collarbone. Not to mention, the dress he’s in is very much helping the entire look. Dark skin, startling purple eyes, bright smile, golden blond hair tied back. It’s an odd word to use, but it’s the only one that comes to mind. The guy that’s been trailing him is very. Theseus resists the urge to roll his eyes and turns around, a smart retort on the tip of his tongue but dies as quickly as it comes once he realizes who he’s looking at. So the entire time, huh? You’re as good as they say!” Theseus continues looking in the reflection of the pond, waiting for the person to try and sneak up behind him. “How long have you known?” a warm voice answers. What kind of assassin laughs at being called out? “You know, if you’re going to discreetly follow someone, you might want to work on that discreet party,” he says, rather loudly.Ī loud laugh answers from behind him, and Theseus looks a little more than slightly confused. He’s had enough, and he’s not letting this little game continue any further. At the sound of another twig snapping, Theseus sighs.
