The Veiled Dagger
Deviation Actions
Literature Text
I am a hand wrapped in shadows bearing a dagger that thirsts only for the blood of one.
I am the shade that shelters the rich and shepherds the unlucky, untouched by the curling and flowing moonlight that ever searches for my veiled face through the corpses of my dagger. A silent sole treading amongst the whispers of skeletons in the shadow of the forsaken.
Neither a man nor a woman, human or otherwise. I am a but a weapon strangled by the roots of evil ever seeking the loss of another voice, one that has spoken out against the powers that deign to be of absolution. I hear but am not heard, I see yet remain unseen, I phase with the corporeal and blend in with the cares of the masses as I stalk the tail of the faceless dog.
My lips do not smile, my eyes do not greet and my nose does not care. My ears deaf to your panicked promises.
For if you should ever chance to glimpse upon my veiled face, deep in the folds of the cold dark night, it shall be the last you ever see
For I, am an assassin!

So yeah, I made this account to make stories and I've started it with a metaphor. Bit silly of me but the idea came to me this faithful morning and so what was I to do? I do so very hope you enjoy!
[Authors note]: "Sole" was deliberate, to imply the flat of ones foot. Not to be mistaken with "Soul" which speaks of the essence of ones being. Just wanna clear that up so no one thinks I made a spelling mistake...
[Authors note]: "Roots of evil" implies money, because as we all know: Money is the root of all evil. I didn't expect anyone to get that but once you do get it then that part of the metaphor makes a lot of sense considering assassins are hired with money
