Rhiana

<p>I'm one of the old ones. I've lived many lives done many things. I've been called sorceress witch and far worse. Mortals have hung me burned me staked me out and left me to die. What a pack of fools. I'm immortal and their petty attempts were laughable.</p><p><br></p><p>So were they when I stopped their puny pathetic hearts. The thrill of ending someone never gets old no matter how unbalanced the contest.</p><p>When I want a break from everything Dorcha-my bondmate-and I bide with the Circle of Assassins. I never mean to stay long but the years have a way of slipping by.</p><p><br></p><p>While I find peace within the Circle Dorcha becomes restive. She never used to mind being the only unicorn but she's grown silent withdrawn. The place within me where I feel her energy is often empty.</p><p><br></p><p>We need a nice juicy assignment to get things back on track a mission worthy of our skill. Excited by the prospect of free-flowing blood and the crusty stench of battle I searched for her but she was gone. </p><p><br></p><p>Worse than gone my link with her was buried beneath layers of unicorn enchantment. Could I find her? Sure but she didn't wish to be found.</p>
