Hunter or hunted as of this moment Ari cannot be sure it's been hours since it all went to shit.Ti be fare it all felt wrong from the start. Sure maybe The Veritas wouldn't take the contract, the assassin's made their own rules about what jobs they took .
Usually Mortis didn't take contracts on standard humans . Usually they strictly stuck to witches and summoners and their creations or summons .
Ari should have trusted that feeling that kept whispering that something wasn't right. On the plus side that whisper meant when the assassin's dart missed it's mark Ari was a step ahead, staggering to make it look like the poison was working stopped a second being sent to replace it.
What happened next just sent everything to hell , someone or something launched a bolt at the assassin, who clearly wasn't expecting trouble careened forwards passed Ari pitching off towards the edge of the building.
Then for some reason beyond comprehension Ari reflexively grabbed his wrist as he went past. Both looking at the other in complete bewilderment, Ari the first to get it together heaved the would be assassin back onto the ledge. Then looked back to check if their threat was on route...they were. Steel a good few streets away across the rooftops but still far to close for comfort.
" I suggest you get the hell out of here." And with that pearl of wisdom Ari was gone.
(( OOC who's your character? The person hunting Ari?
The Assassin was believes Ari knows more?
A Witch / Summoner / Or one of the beasts they summon, with offer of a deal? Or something else entirely...hit me up in DMs))
