Blue Mask: The Halcyon
Vincent and Miranda arrives at the next town.
Miranda went to confirm her bounty as Vincent waits for her at a pub.
Vincent ordered a few things to eat and drink.
When his food arrived, Miranda also came back. They were about to eat dinner, when suddenly, Vincent heard the gossip behind him.
Mob 1
The Halcyon massacred the Yuwei Family.
Mob 2
But they were one of the great four family?!
Mob 2
How could they get annihilated by that group?
Mob 1
Fool, the Halcyon are not to be mess with!
Mob 1
They are the leading assassination organizations of the underworld!
Mob 1
They have the top 9 assassins named after the colors, and each one of them are defined by their features!
Mob 1
Apparently, the Blue Mask was the one who massacred the Yuwei Family!
Mob 2
Isn't that the same person who destroyed the Stoneshell family nine years ago?!
Mob 1
Don't say that out loud.
As the people behind Vincent continues their gossiping, Vincent's face started to turn grim.
Miranda notice the chilling expression on him.
Miranda
The food is getting cold.
Vincent ate the food quietly as he continues to listen to the gossiping.
Mob 2
But it's strange, the Blue Mask had stayed quiet after that incident.
Mob 2
Why did they suddenly decided to appear again?
Mob 1
I don't know, but it's best to stay clear of the Halcyon.
A dangerous glow reflected in Vincent's eyes.
They finished their dinner and head towards an inn. Vincent was quiet the whole way there.
Miranda
...Are you alright?
Vincent
They said that the Blue Mask strikes again...
A memory of the past flashes into Vincent's mind.
Vincent tighten his fist as his face twisted in rage.
Miranda
If you tighten your fist like that, you will harm your hand.
Miranda takes his tighten fist into her hand and slow release it.
Miranda
I don't know what is making you so upset, but we have been walking the whole day.
Miranda
You will need much rest to do whatever it is that needs to be done tomorrow.
Miranda was talking about the delivery Vincent needed to make.
When they were walking through the woods, Vincent told Miranda that he was working as a mercenary who delivery things as a side job.
His job was to deliver an important item to a customer tomorrow.
They head into the inn to rest for the night. Just like Miranda said, he had a job that needed to be done. Now wasn't the time to dwell in his thoughts.
GreenBlade
FATHER, you called for me?
Halcyon
Green, I need you to keep an eye on Blue.
Halcyon
Blue may have restored their use to me, but I do not trust them.
GreenBlade
Because of what happened 9 years ago?
GreenBlade bows to him and leaves.
Halcyon
Will you disappoint me again, Blue?
