The Deadly Game

Prologue

“Thank you for coming, Armorahk,” whispered the being known as Mysterium, “This meeting is much appreciated.” Armorahk nodded. The Rahkshi’s blood red eyes glowed in the darkness.

“Let’s cut to the chase, shall we?” Armorahk said, his voice a mixture of impatience and spite, “You want me to assassinate someone. Someone important, I’ve heard.”

“You’ve heard right, Rahkshi,” Mysterium nodded, “This person is a major figure on his island. He is a greedy, ignorant traitor. He betrayed me, long ago, on a mission. He left me dying in an abandoned volcano, but luckily-“

“Get on with it, weirdo,” boomed Armorahk impatiently, “Who is this guy?” Mysterium didn’t like this Rahkshi. In fact, he wanted to cut off his head on the spot. But, this mission was urgent, and he didn’t want to lose this top assassin.

“This particular person lives on Torta Nui, in a spacious castle,” Mysterium explained. Armorahk sat up in shock.

“You don’t mean-“

“Yes, Armorahk,” said Mysterium, “I want you to kill Blazius.” A huge, evil smile spread across Armorahk’s face, looking almost too big for his face.

“Mission accepted,” he snarled, eager to get to work.
