The veil of the night covered the entire city in its darkness.
The city was silent, with only the few workers coming back home after a long day roaming the streets.
Mira stood atop the tallest building, her gaze cold and precise.
In her hand was the rifle Silas had given her earlier.
She looked down into the bar where her target drank with other people.
Her eyes were sharp.
She noticed every twitch of his muscles, every blink.
Mira noted all of it.
The wind blew through her short black hair.
'His guard spotted me,' Mira thought as the door behind her clicked open.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" The voice suddenly came from behind.
Mira did not reply.
The rifle in her hand transformed into a pistol.
She tucked it into her belt.
"Can't you hear me?" The person asked again, already drawing his sword.
He walked closer to Mira slowly with a focused gaze.
A flicker.
He blinked as Mira's form disappeared from sight.
A piercing sound caught his attention from behind.
