The humiliation is unbearable, yet somehow I haven't broke yet. Maybe through the strength of sheer force will. But whatever the case, I have a mission to carry out.
The Master Assassins have assigned me and my partner to kill a Caribou Mage by the name of Calder Demorse. Calder is a part of the Templar Order and one of King Dainn's subordinates. What we recently found is he has the whereabouts on where exactly might be possible places of the King's locations he'll be staying at. They sent us into a party that is being hosted by Calder. Bahadur, my partner, is going to be my 'master' for a while though while I pretend the part of his slave. That's the only way we could get in unnoticed.
We get through the guards as we hear the music and obvious sexual activity going on. There were a lot of mares in this party mostly because we are in a settlement just a few miles from the infamous Ponyvile. They call this town Colton. Bahadur glanced down to me to see if I was still there before walking over to an open area close to the kitchen. Of course one of the noble Caribou walked up to Bahadur with a goofy smile on his face showing signs that mean he is most likely drunk.
"Aaah~ What a pleasant surprise, a new noble!" he yells out staggering in his current stance.
Bahadur went with it. "Yes, of course sir...."
"Sir Brandt to you!" the noble drunk yells out again.
Bahadur looks down at me giving the stern expression toward me. "Fetch me a drink, cunt!" he says in a threatening manner.
I waste no time in crawling into the kitchen, but I swiftly shift out of the doorway to not be seen by any prying eyes. I then get up and head to the backdoor. The one to greet me was our inside guy, Marvelous Masterpiece, an earth pony male. He handed me a box as I nod my thanks to him before heading back inside. It didn't take me long to change into my assassin robes since I was already butt naked when I crawled into this party of snotty nobles and other males. I looked into a shining pan nearby to make sure my face was concealed.
My originally white robes is now stained crimson from all the blood that I spilled on it. Matter of fact, the Creed nicknamed me Blatha, short for Blóð blaðsins. I grin behind my hooded face.
I then search for openings using my Eagle vision. What I found instead was quite another surprise. I walk over to the back end wall and feel for any loose bricks. Alas, I was successful pulling the a single brick out getting a click from the other side. The bricks then make an outline of a circle popping in and moving out of the way to reveal a tunnel. I walk in completely in silence before I get into an intersection leading to individual rooms. And to no big surprise I spot Templars. Hiding back in the shadows I allow a small group of them to pass before entering the room where they came out of.
Of course I spot their bitches that they kept. They seem to be begging like cage animals for sex. It made my anger boil, but fortunately I settled myself down. Plus, they were not my main priority. I hid from crate to crate until I get to my first Templar alone. I grin again before covering his mouth and stabbing one of my hidden blades into his inviting neck. He let out a small muffled cry before dying. I drag him out of sight before continuing through the tunnels.
It wasn't long before I found my target. I perch myself above and out of sight overviewing the meeting Calder was having. Strangely, I did not recognize this other male with Calder mostly because his face was covered with a hood and mask for good measures.
"You promised that your King would swore himself back into the Templar Order." the masked male said coldly.
"He did not promise anything. And he has made arrangements of giving you and your men-"
"We don't want your sluts. We are only after the Edan, nothing more." the masked male said coldly.
Calder said nothing as the masked male chuckles, but suddenly went quiet again. "Now, is your King going to tell where an Apple of Edan is, or will he continue to stall."
"I don't know, but I'll ask my Lord." Calder said.
"Next time, you better not be empty handed." the masked male then left without any other thought.
I took my chance jumping down silently to the same level as Calder. He was about to turn about until I then pin him with my two hidden blades on the wall. He groans in pain and is surprised to see me. I retracted my blades as he fell to the floor. He tries to move his arms but his eyes widen because he couldn't anymore.
"I severed your legiments from your muscles in your arms. It's pontless to even try." I said plainly.
His eyes widen further to hearing my feminine voice. "Who are you even. I did nothing to you to deserve this fate." He said.
I grin again under my hood getting closer to him. "I'm not anyone of your concern, but I am looking for the location of your King." I continue on.
His scowl returns to his face. "How dare you insult me with such a commit, slut. I'll have you kn-"
He didn't finish as I released one of my hidden blades close enough to his light brown neck to cause it to bleed slightly. "You are forgetting who has the advantage. In your situation, you don't get to insult your interrogator. Now, I'll say it again. Where is the locations of where your King would be?"
"I-In Forlorne Town! H-He's there for a celebration the the town has...." Calder says.
"Good, what's the festival for?"
"It's for the Sun Slut's Summer Fun Celebration. He has to be there for her public fucking."
I had to cringe at that twisted holiday. I don't have to explain much of the celebration, but it's basically the used-to-be Princess Celestia, part of the diarchy of Equestria, being used as the town's sex toy for the entire celebration. It's sickening, but not unheard of to me. They did the same to my poor mother..... And I swore that the bastards of the Council and King Dainn would pay in their own blood for it.
I swiftly cut his throat as I watch the life eventually leave out of Calder. "May you rest in peace you sick bastard." I mumble out loud. I left then after as silently as I came in.
I met Bahadur in the back of the party building. He looked to be peeved for some reason. "Are you alright?"
"Fine, I just can't stand those parties. They make me have the urge to kill every single one of those bastards." he says.
"I know the feeling." I reach into my hood and undo the collar on me then hand it to Bahadur.
We then take off into the night concealing ourselves into the shadows again.

Let the hating begin.

The Tree of Good and Evil
Bahadur and I get to the docks during the first rays of the sunrise. Bahadur looks back at me with a glance before we enter the tunnel hidden from the Caribou guards that are around Manhattan. We come up to a steel door as I knock on it in a pattern. It took a moment before a metal slip opens up to reveal two blue eyes.
"Red Eagle has been eliminated." Bahadur says simply. The slip then shuts again before the person behind it opens it up completely.
The one to open the door for us is Accurate Aimmer. A Pegasus male that earned a scar on his right eye from an event during the fall of Equestria. He never told exactly what happened to anypony.
Accurate then leads us through the tunnels. We meet other Assassins apart for our cause. Even a few Caribou males have joined in. However, I'm the only cow that has ever made it into the Creed. Because of that, I've became more recognizable among my brothers and sisters.
Accurate then leads us into the main tunnel which branches off to the ceremonial room. We enter there and was meet by the five Master Assassin's of the Creed.
The last one standing on the left with a white and black assassin robes is Silver Shamshir. He is a male bat pony. Not much is known about him before the fall, but what I do know is that he is one mean bastard that has an insatiable thrist for blood, especially enemy Caribou of the King.
Next to Sliver Shamshir is the assassin in green and gold robes. She is a Pegasus with a history against the Caribou Mages. Her name is Quick Sliver. Nopony has ever seen her wings before, but many say that she used to be a slave herself until one of the Master Assassins saved her from her fate. However, she is known throughout the Creed to hate males deeply. The last time a male tried to reason with her she ended up making the poor stallion unable to have babies again.
In the middle is a male Caribou in purple and sliver robes. His name is Bjarte Buldanus. He's a brilliant mastermind for the Creed and knows of different ways in getting pass the King's lapdogs. But most of all, he was my mentor back when this problem only exist in the Caribou Lands. If it wasn't for him, I would be bought and sold already into that hellish life females have in the twisted society.
To the far right wearing grey and black assassin robes is the infamous Bronze Star. He is an earth pony that was gifted with incredible strength unlike any other creature. He is also skilled in the self-defense department too and the hidden blades. Besides that, nothing about his past before or after the fall is known about him.
And the assassin in orange and blue that is between Bjarte and Bronze Star is called Blazing Sabre. He is a master swordsman and excellent in stealth. However, he only trains the assassins that he thinks are capable for his training. Few ever pass his intense training.
The five look down on Bahadur and I in contempt gazes. "Everything went smooth. Calder is dead as we promised." Bahadur says to them.
Bjarte seem to be very satisfy with his reply. "That's good to hear. What information have you gathered about the bastard King?"
"Calder said that he'll be going to Forlorne Town for the Sun Slut Fun Celebration. You know how it is." I say.
Bjarte seem to understand my point as he brought his attention back on both of us. "Now, with that, I suppose that we have no other choice. This mission will be the most riskiest one we have so far. That's why we're having two more assassins tagging along."
As soon as he finish two assassins approach from behind us. The one on the left is an unicorn mare in brown and red assassin robes while the other right to the mare is a pegasus male in blue and white robes.
"You two must be Blatha and Bahadur." the pegasus stallion says.
"Yes, who are you two?" I ask while Bahadur shook his hand.
"I'm surprised you haven't heard of us two. We are quite known around the Creed. I'm Mana Mayhem the Sane. And this is Blitz Bolt the Tornado." The unicorn mare says.
"Well, I don't go out much."
"Now with that out of the way, we should prepare for the mission, eh?" Blitz says. Bahadur, Mana, and I agree as we walk out of the ceremonial room.
-:-
After some time in planning our objectives we set out to our destination, Forlorne Town. The walk was not entirely long since the teleportion spell Mana did shorten the trip a lot. We had to take a break though because of what the spell did to her.
"Ok guys, everypony knows the plan. Stick to it no matter what. If you're in trouble use your smoke bombs." Blitz reminds us. We nod in unison as we split up.
I head to the roof tops with ease taking down a few Caribou guards with my hidden blades before being able to overlook the festival being held. It was as always quite disgusting to even look at. They were even holding an auction for the poor female slaves. I search to spot Bahadur and Blitz in the crowd slipping through to the front were there was a wooden structure near the center of the plaza with a special mare on it. Apparently, the Princess Celestia herself is definitely here seeing that she is currently being nailed by three stallions which confirms King Dainn's presence.
Bahadur looked to make sure Mana and I were in position before getting behind the wooden platform. Two Caribou guards were there, but they silently took them out and then approach the fucker himself. King Dainn had got everypony to clear the platform for him before he rapes Celestia for a bit. It didn't last long because Bahadur rushed up to him stabbing him perfectly in the back.
A heavy silence fell upon the entire festival as all the males stared in horror at the assassination. King Dainn fell limp to the wooden platform as the crowd went wild. Many males ran for their lives as the females just coward in fear. However, Bahadur gave me the nod as I looked with my eagle vision to spot a carriage in the distance about ready to part. A sped up to a short cut where they would come into before leaping of the edge of the building taking a leap of faith.
I land in a bale of hay as the carriage passed me with some speed on it. I sprang into action up of the bale sprinting to the back of the carriage. I would have caught up to the carriage if not for the crossbows shooting at me From both directions. Before I retreat however I saw a glimpse of the real King Dainn looking surprise at my appearance. I went back to my team and silently cursed to myself. Blitz had freed the poor alicorn from her chains as he helped her up.
"That wasn't King Dainn. He escaped." I say simply.
Bahadur and Mana simultaneously cursed strongly. "I knew that the bastard looked different." Mana remarks.
"It doesn't matter. We have a princess to ask later." Bahadur says helping Blitz carry Princess Celestia. It wasn't long before we hear the Templars. Mana and I get into position picking up the rifles with bayonets from the ground. With a shot in there I fired at the first Templar up above. He fell from the balcony before landing with a sickening crunch.
The Templars on the ground grew brave as they charged at us with their bayonets. However, I dropped mine before dodging the first one and slicing the neck of the charging Templar. I then draw both hidden blades jumping in the air before tackling both Templars to the ground simultaneously stabbing them in the heart.
I roll to my left to avoid a bullet shot at me while I see Mana charge at lightning speed to thrust her bayonet into the flesh of the unsuspecting Templar. Mana throws me the pistol the Templar had before I aim at the second balcony to take down another Templar from above. I hear Bahadur yelling for us to follow, so I throw a smoke bomb as we left the scene while the remainer Templars gags on the gases.
-:-
"My Lord, are you sure that is wise? The Templars are great allies but to join them?" one of his mages ask King Dainn.
Out of all the things, he did not expect the fabled group of assassins to be on him. If it wasn't for the Templars letting him know ahead of time he would have surely been the same Caribou on that platform.
"Yes, it appears I need the protection now more than ever."
"But we can't afford to lose our leverage over them. If we tell them where a possible location for the Edan Apple it would surely make our armies to them useless. They don't care for female conquer, sir." the Caribou mage says.
"Don't worry, Chaver, I got another bargaining chip." King Dainn says still on the road to Canterlot.
