Ria had made her way into the country of Ianne. She had been told of dangerous things in the forests, so Ria attempted to stay more on the outskirts when she could. As she moved around the outskirts of the forest, Ria came upon a strange sort of architecture.
She noticed people riding around on horses, some in suits of armour. They seemed to be practicing for something, but she had not possessed the knowledge of what quite yet.
As Ria headed closer to the structure, a strange man with a funny hat stopped by her. He asked her in an older style of English if the 'fair young maiden' wanted to see the show. Ria smiled at the odd man and nodded her head at this. He showed her through the gates and handed her a ticket and a small bag that contained various information of what was going on in the fort today.
Ria smiled at the jester again then looked inside the bag as she gained admittance to the festival. She noticed first that there was a strange purple hat in the bag. She pulled it out, looking at it in a quizzical manner for a moment before a passer by told her that it was to go on the 'fair young maiden's' head. Ria smiled at the passer by then looked at the hat again. She glanced around at other girls who walked among the grounds and put the hat on her head to look like how they had the hat on.
It was a small cone that strapped onto her head. At the top, a few ribbons were attached and hung down over her hair. Ria's hat was purple, though the hats were of different colours with each girl. Ria smiled at the feeling of being included by wearing this hat. She received many smiles in return as she entered more into the festival.
Ria pulled out a small brochure that explained this festival as a medieval festival. It was to take people back in time to a time of kings and queens and knights and old English. It was meant for fun and role playing as a person from that time. Ria smiled to herself as she read on, finding out there was a dinner in a couple of hours and a show where they hosted the jousting tournaments.
Satisfied with knowing what was going on, Ria placed the brochure back in the bag. She then searched the bag a little more to see what was in there, glad to see a sort of pencil that looked like a quill feather and a pad of paper so that she could communicate with the people around her.
Ria walked around the crowd, smiling as she passed by others enjoying their time. She glanced over various medieval style items street vendors were selling and smiled as she saw friends and lovers expressing their happiness together.
After a little while, Ria heard a bit of a commotion coming from a little ways away. She wasn't sure what was going on, but Ria was a little curious. A lot of people had decided to go on their own way, but there were still a number of people beginning to circle around the commotion.
As she managed to reach a place where she could see, she noticed a vendor arguing with a customer. Ria tried to squeeze through the crowd so that she could attempt to break up this quarrel. The guards had beaten her to it, however, a couple of soldiers marched in and pulled the two apart. The vendor was sent back to his post and the customer was escorted off the premises.
Everyone went back to their business, but Ria just stood there a moment longer. Slowly, a relieved smile formed on her face and she held her hands together, pressing them against her chest as she closed her eyes and looked down for a moment. Thank goodness it was stopped before someone got hurt. She thought as she stood there with her relieved smile.
When she looked back up and opened her eyes, Ria was surprised to see her eyes meet those of a stranger not too far from her. Her smile fell for a moment as she looked at a man she did not know. The thought crossed her mind that perhaps he was looking at someone else near her. Instead of checking however, Ria pulled a cheerful smile back onto her face again so that she could smile happily at him. Whether his eyes were on her or someone else, she reasoned, it's always better to show a smile.

After travelling for a couple of days, Shawn has reach his destination in the Forest Country, Ianne. Venturing to the fort known as Newfort, he seeks nothing but to execute his bidding in, 'murdering'. With all the information he gets, he was tasked to kill one of the Lord reside in the Newfort. Despite his black clothing and ominous appearance, people din't even take a notice on him. He is completely blend in the crowd in the city.
There are a bit commotion happened nearby, but Shawn never distracted. Instead, he searched for his target and eventually found one as the Commotion ended. Coincidentally, his eye vision collide with Ria. Without showing any emotion, Shawn calmly walks in front slowly as he passed through Ria. With quick observation, he notice that this girl is not one of the ordinary. Quickly making a note to himself to bout this girl, Shawn continues walking slowly... To his target.
Guarded by hidden body guard, a Lord arrogantly walk without fear. Anyone who get to near him will get pushed away by the bodyguards. He was on the way to meet some dealer to make some trading. Unnoticed that he was being targeted. Shawn makes his move... He swiftly runs throughout the crowd without making anyone notice of his presences. With his speed and agility, he bypass the guards and get closed to his target. Without hesitation and procrastination, Shawn point his gun on the Lord's head and say "I bring, bad luck," and the trigger is pulled.
The shot was loud enough make everyone was in a state of shock. The guards quickly looks back to the man they are guarding. Startled with disbelief, their client falls to the ground, with his head bleeding badly. He is dead. No one noticed Shawn presence as he walks away. His job is done, now he will need to return back to Veyyard to report his success. A routine life as an assassin.

Although the stranger didn't return a smile, Ria continued smiling as he walked past her. She glanced up towards him as he walked past, then let out a small and happy sigh as she looked up at the sky. There really were so many different types of people all here to have fun, she thought happily in her oblivious state.
Recalling the stranger's face again, Ria's expression began to fall and she looked down with an almost concerned expression. Everyone else seemed to be having fun here, but he didn't seem too interested with any of it. She glanced back in the direction he walked in just in time to hear a gunshot.
Ria's eyes widened, an expression of shock overtook her and she took a few steps in the direction of the gun shot. While everyone else seemed to be avoiding the source of the noise, Ria ran straight towards it. She couldn't ignore it if someone was being hurt, no matter who they were. The stranger's face wouldn't leave her mind as the concerned look returned to her own face.
She had run right past him this time without noticing, only to be blocked by guards from going any further. She could see a few figures behind the guards, one lying in a pool of blood and the others trying to save him even though it was too late. Ria's right hand immediately clenched and she lifted it up to her heart. With a look of realization, Ria pulled out the pad and pen from her bag and wrote on it. "I MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE HIM" She wrote then showed the guards who only then laughed at her and told her to leave. They said to her that if their highly trained doctors couldn't do anything, then there was nothing a little girl could do.
Ria looked down sadly then closed her eyes tightly as she worried what might happen. She looked back up at the guards with a serious expression after putting the pen and pad back in her bag. She then lifted her right hand and wrote in the air with her light abilities. Each letter held it's shape in light for about ten seconds before fading away. "I HAVE HEALING ABILITIES" She wrote in the air with a serious and concerned look on her face.
The guards' eyes widened in shock, and one of the doctors had been looking over at the commotion in time to see a strange glow of light. He called out to ask what that was and the guards turned to say what Ria wrote. While they were turned away, Ria took the opportunity to run past them towards the man on the ground. She was stopped by one of the doctors who'd stood up. "I CAN HEAL" She wrote in the air again.
The doctor looked at her in shock as Ria looked at him with a concerned and serious expression. He then let her pass, and Ria knelt down on the ground, her pants around her knees getting soaked with blood. Ria moved her hands around the bullet wound and closed her eyes as her hands began to glow. This type of wound wasn't very familiar to her, but a wound was a wound after all. She focused on stopping more blood from escaping and on regenerating the tissue.
As she sat there with her hands glowing, a crowd began to build around the wall of guards. They began exclaiming that there was a girl with glowing hands healing the Lord who was shot in the head. Many mumbled that saving his life was hopeless, but others expressed hope that the person's life would be saved. These comments quickly circulated around the entire grounds rather quickly as Ria focused on trying to save this person's life, no matter how hopeless it may have seemed.

As Shawn prepared himself to disembark from the fort, he quickly noticed the little girl that got his attention running towards the direction were he shot his target and even bypassing him. Realizing that she might do something, he decided to follow her from afar.
Observing from far, Shawn was kind of surprise that she wants to help the man he tried to kill. 'She is mute," he thought. He wonders what kind of help can she gives on the man who will shortly die soon. Adding to his surprised, he saw the little's girls power as she conjures sentences in the air with light. He also reads what she wanted to say. "I knew that this girl isn't of the ordinary, but the power to heal... I think I won't be leaving here sooner that I thought it would be..."he thought.
He watches as the little girl had finally given the chance to help his target. As to his expectation, the girl could heal with the power within her. Now, he waits whether she can save his target or not, before making any moves he would do.
"She is young and kind... Perhaps, she doesn't know the man she tries to save, is the man who is evil enough to even take her, as a slave." Shawn thought.

With Ria's magic power, the fatal wound of the Lord is now healed. The Lord slowly open his eye and find himself lying on the ground. He then quickly wakes up and with panic look left and right. Touching his head where he had been shot with confused, he wonders why he is still alive. Then the doctor told him that it is Ria the one that saved him. With quick thinking, he immediately stand up and thank Ria for her help.
"My name is Count Levith, one of the Lord resides here. I humbly thank you for saving my live. For an angel like you, I will reward you handsomely. Prepare the Chariot!" lifting his hand up, he orders his men. "I shall take you to my mansion. There are something we must discussed with, Miss... ahh yes... What is you name Miss?" he asked.

Ria looked at the man surprised for a moment that she'd succeeded then proceeded to smile happily. She hadn't seen a wound like that before so she wasn't incredibly confident. Her smile beamed proudly with relief. She stood up and wiped her bloody hands on her already bloody pants, not disturbed by the blood in the least.
When the count began to talk about rewarding her, she quickly put on a sheepish expression and raised a hand in front of her face, waving it in front of her face to say that his offer was unnecessary. She never helped people for reward, she only knew that she couldn't forgive herself of she just walked away and left someone to die.
She wanted to decline going to his mansion but she wasn't sure if he'd let her. She smiled normally again when he asked her for her name. Her smile brightened as she pulled her hand up again and wrote "Ria" in the air.

The Lord is displease to know that this young girl decline his offer. Despite feeling furious, he tries to hide it as he then tries to use more excuse in getting her into his mansion. "Oh don't be like that, at least let my workers clean your cloths. Hei you two, quickly bring this girl to the chariot, we must not let this young lady walk around with bloody cloths!" the Lord order his men to take Ria forcefully into the chariot.
He then gets into the Chariot with Ria before ordering them to move into his mansion. He is a very greedy person, seeing how valuable Ria is, he intend to turn Ria into his most valuable slave. Using her power to get fortune is his plan. He doesn't even feel grateful for Ria even she did save his life.

Shawn can only observe how was the girl being taken away by force into the chariot before moving into the Lord's mansion. Shawn knew that this is not his business, but his target is still alive, thus enables him to continue in this task. Swiftly and stealthy, he follows the chariot until they reach the mansion. He thought that he wanted to kill the Lord right now, but he doubt that the young girl will still protect the Lord as he think she still did not realized how evil the Lord is.
He then decides to sneak inside the mansion in order to observe the situations until making decision. He want at least to let the girl aware how evil this Lord this, and thus might changed her mind in not saving this Lord if ever he starts to shoot him again. That's the plan.

Ria smiled sheepishly again when the count insisted that his workers clean her clothes. Her eyes then widened a bit in surprise as he ordered a couple of his people to escort her into the chariot. She didn't resist as the men walked her to the chariot and placed her inside.
Ria felt rather embarrassed to be riding in a chariot, smiling sheepishly as she thought how he'd also be having her clothes cleaned. She looked down at the blood on her pants then glanced up at the count she managed to save. Her smile then restored to it's cheerful state as she thought how relieved she feels to have saved a person from dying.

The lord can only smirk as to him, this is another good chance for him to make a fortune. Looking at this innocent girl, he felt lucky to not only let her to save his life, but to also will benefit him when he starts to make her into one of his valuable slave of his. He don't even plan to even clean Ria's cloth as his promise, but instead planning when they reach his mansion, he is going to start to force Ria into submissive.
As the chariot reached his mansion, he orders his men to escort Ria into his mansion and have a sightseeing while waiting for his maids to prepare for her bath. He plans to stall her while he prepares his men to ambush her when she was unprepared. He doesn't really care any of Ria's attempts to reason with him before he just go and leave her behind into his mansion and lets his men to escort the seemingly confused Ria to walk around these mansion.
As time went by when the men has escort Ria for sight seeing as planned, they then brings Ria into a room where the Lord is waiting. As she went inside the room, they immediately close the door and blocked the exit. Will dozens of men aiming their guns at Ria, the arrogant Lord laugh arrogantly. "Welcome to my mansion oh my little angel~ I don't really wanted to do this, but you are just too valuable to be ignored~ If you try to escape, it will be your last," The lord trails away from his men before continuing his word. "I gave you one choice, serve and obey my words, only mine. Only then, I will let you live. What do you say?" he grinned.
He doesn't care anything but for his greed. He wanted to act as soon as possible, in turning Ria into just a mere puppet for his own bidding.

Shawn waited patiently as he make sure to watch over the young girl from a hidden spot. He knew from the beginning that the Lord doesn't even plan to repay his debt on this innocent girl. Feeling a bit responsible for getting the young girl into trouble, he will make sure that she learnt that this Lord is an evil person before he moves to kill him, and will make sure he will be dead this time.
His patiently finally pays off as the Lord finally show his true color on the young girl. Preparing his guns, he is ready to strike. Now he only want to see one thing before he strikes, the reaction of the young girl towards this selfish lord.

Ria maintained a small smile as she exited the chariot. She felt like there was a lump in her chest from embarrassment and worry. Even though this count insisted on having her clothes cleaned, coming to such an extravagant place felt rather strange to her. She followed her escorts without complaint, looking back at the count with a somewhat inquisitive expression.
After a while, Ria was led to a room and shut inside. Her eyes immediately found the count then traveled across the other men in the room as he laughed. Ria's expression was very confused as she wasn't even entirely sure what those men were holding.
She stared at the count in confusion as he spoke, not entirely certain what he meant at first. She listened to him carefully, slowly understanding that what the men were holding were dangerous. She looked around the room at the men with a concerned expression then looked back at the count again. Her expression changed from concerned to sad, feeling pity for this man who would resort to threats like this.
Thinking more about the count than her own safety, she carefully raised her finger in the air and wrote. "Why?"

"Why you say? Hah, I shouldn't answer that to a future servant! Men, seized her!" the Lord then order his man to capture the confused Ria. He was about to leave and let his men do the work but then, he heard rather some different noise and painful voice from his men. Quickly looking back at his men, all of them are already unconscious. Realizing of what happened after he saw who did it, his knees gave away.
"Y-y-you are from the Seven Deadliest Weapon!!!" he shrieks in terror. Fearing his life might be taken away... Again...

Shawn figured that the young girl will be confused about this. Well, it should be natural for innocent girl like her. As he saw the men tries to get close to her, he finally comes out from his hiding and with speed, he knocks down the Lords man using his guns as he hit the nape of them all before they can even retaliate.
Looking at the confused girl and then turning his head to the freaked out Lord, he just simply dash to the Lord without even answering him. With cold and emotionless face of him, he points his gun to the Lord before taking his shot. Multiple shots. Aiming on heads and Heart. He literally emptied both of his guns, reload them again before fires them again. He does this as he doubted that the girl would stay still. He had to make sure, that the wound are beyond what a magic can heal. Well, he can only assume his ways are good enough to stop the young girl from healing this Lord again, or he has to think another alternative and it will be messy.

Ria looked sadly upon the count as he spoke down to her, pitying him for his wicked state. She wondered what had driven him to the point where he acted like a tyrant. Her thoughts were cut short, however, as his men began to approach her. She moved her pitying glance over the men approaching her, slowly making a move to put up her protection barrier, stopping only when she heard a sudden noise.
Ria paused her hand motion before they even raised more than half a foot from her sides. She looked upon this new man in shock as she watched his speedy attacks knock out the men who were approaching her. When he finished with the men and looked at her, Ria finally recognized this man as the mysterious person she had seen back at the fair. Seeing what she now understood to be a weapon in his hands and the very fact that he was here after the count again, Ria realized that this was the man who had wounded the count in the first place.
When it hit her that he was here to finish the count off, Ria quickly turned towards the two men, intending to stop him, but it was too late. Ria watched in shock as the mysterious man's weapon shot multiple holes into the count. One of those wounds was hard enough to heal, now there were many. Ria felt a lump in her chest begin to grow as she watched the count die. It didn't matter what horrible things he had intended to do to her. He was still a living person. Slowly, Ria raised her hands together in front of her lips and her eyes watered slightly with tears. The sight, to her, was tragic.
A couple of tears quietly streamed down her cheeks as she looked sadly at the mysterious killer. She lowered her hands back down to her sides, defeated, but stared directly at him without wavering. She wondered who he was and why he would kill another person. She felt pity, wondering how many lives he'd taken and how the weight of taking so many lives might affect him.
