She had promised the one known as Damien that she wouldn't damage the covens city. All of the things KnOT had told her ..had her reeling and sick inside. "Bastards...liars! " she yelled, her shadows coiled, and she sat down. A low growl and she calmed her shadows. She sank into them, and started to divide them..no longer was she going to be a tool..and puppet for a being who truly did not care for her..
Confusion, anger and rage burned through her. " leave me...you fooled me twice.." she said, and tore her shadows apart. Completely exposed she stood up, eyes a deep blue swirled with garnet. Her cheeks were wet, and her chest burned. "No more!" She said and split her shadows from the ones Kan had commanded. "I am no longer yours to toy with.." she said and turned away from the writhing tendrils of black. "Suffer, on your own..." she growled and walked away. She refused to break, and she walked away with her head high...

He had tracked her for long enough, well into another continent, another country. He had expected a battle against her though for reasons he couldn't understand, he'd instead told her one of the closely knit secrets Kan had kept from everyone...Almost succesfully had the man not intercepted several leads of intel coming in and out of Noctis Umbris back in Arcane's neighboring lands.
Finally, he shifted out to form behind her once she had rid herself of Kans presence. Being able to feel the shift in the air around Amiya, he didn't make any attempt to hide his presence, instead, drawing a cigarette to his lips and lighting it with an audible clash of flint and aluminium.
Taking a long drawn out drag from the smoke, he watched her for a time before finally approaching. "Do not forget him, just learn from what he's done and use what he's taught you to ensure no one can ever manipulate you again...No one deserves to hold such a power of you, Amiya. You have to much potential to be made a tool for another mans trade".

She froze mid step, and turned around. Her eyes shifted color, and she blinked slowly once. "Oh I can promise I will never be manipulated again..by anyone." She said, and her shadows crept up her body and wound tightly around her. She looked at the screaming mass of shadows with no host and frowned. She looked back at KnOT for a moment. "Why did you follow me?" She asked, and crossed her arms over her chest. She locked everything she felt down tight, and wiped her cheeks under the cover of her shadows before she brought them back down a little. Exposing.her head, neck and the tops of her shoulders.
"This is a long way from the coven, what are you doing here. I know its not because you think I have, potential...whatever that means." She said, but not in a harsh tone...more one of guarded curiosity.

"Your partially wrong there...I do see potential in you. I also know what it feels like to be used for someone elses gain. My Father, Marcus Crane used both myself, My mother and my Sister Asher to get what he wanted, sacrificed our lives to save his own. It may not have been something that lasted for years like Kan's deception over you but my Mother died. I found Asher and eventually...I found and killed my Father for it...".
He moved to walk closer towards her, taking another long drag from his cigarette, moving to her side, his eyes moving along the horizon of the somewhat massive clearing he'd found her in.
"You're still alive however, you survived and better now, you know the truth. I've come to give you the opportunity to return with me to Arcane and become a part of the Death Family once it's found it's way back into power. I am only one man but there's been something set in stone that will pave the way for the return of the Family with another at it's head. I will be there to help defend the family as I always have and should you wish a place to fall back on, I'm willing to take the risk".

She tensed a little when he came to stand by her, though she made no move against him. She sifted through his words and it stung when.he spoke of Kan...a soft growl and she shook her head a little. "Why though, why are you willing to take a risk likethat?" She asked and looked at him. She knew she had no where else to go, but she didn't understand...she couldn't help thinking the worst...or overthinking. "I don't understand."

"Because Ketsueki Kan made me out to be souless and completely evil, I may not be a good man but I am not completely lost, yet", he spoke lowely, between the two of them, he'd have no prying eyes listening in while opening up ever so slightly to the Assassin woman, "Kan's Creed was not to distant from what my Family was to my. I loved them all, protected them all and on two occasions, even died for them all. Everyone needs someone they can trust, even those as violent and dark natured as I am, Amiya".
"I'm not asking for an answer, depending on your point of view, I'm offering one".

She looked at him and sighed softly. "I know you're not asking for an answer..but I will take your offer." She said softly, and looked at him. "If you are willing to take a risk, I am too. Betray me, and I will kill you.." she said, not wanting to let her guard down..but something in the way he spoke to her, made it soften anyway. Kan had in fact made him into a monster...perhaps she would give him a chance to prove that wrong.

"You could not kill me if you tried Amiya. I'm offering you the chance to avoid making the same mistake Kan did, Underestimating me. Whether you join me or go elsewhere, you will be of better use to the world alive, rather than throwing your life away against me".
Finally he turned and began to walk away, slowly, biding his time as he watched her over the back of his shoulder, speaking further "I still have business in the covens lands, come with me if you wish or you can return to Arcane...Kan's Creed is still present there, his followers need to be wiped out before Arcane will truly be cleansed of it's corrupted taint".

A subtle growl and she waited a moment before she followed. "Do not underestimate me either." She said with a snort. She didn't say it, but she wanted to follow..she faded to shadow and followed in thin whisps." I will stay here for now, I need a break from Arcane and the creed. I have homework to do." She said and let the wind carry her. She hid under the inky darkness, and looked back once..the mass of shadows gone she paused briefly, before turning to follow him again. " I'm of no use to anyone..except myself. " she said quietly.

"If that were true then why would I be giving you the choice to join me. Whether your of use to us or not is irrelevant, we do not expect anything of you. I saw what it was like in Kan's Creed, his people were always on edge, always paranoid about being infiltrated. I guess their concerns were justified when I succeeded...But the point here is that Peace is a lie for those in the Creed, there was never any sense of peace or security there...Take a break Amiya, you're a lost soul...Remember what it is to enjoy being in the realm of the living rather than following one mans command. Your life is your own now...".
With that, The figure vanished, letting the shadows consume and envelope his form, taking him away from the area completely, leaving Amiya to think things through. She had agree'd rather quickly and the Shadow Inquisitor felt she needed time to better process it all.

She paused and watched him vanish into the shadows. She growled and vanished too. Tired of always being left behind she went to the rolling hills of the countryside. Reformed she paced the field. "I'm not a child..I can decide if I want to go or not. " she said and sat down with a sigh. "My life..is my own. Nothing is expected of me?? That is so, strange." She said to herself..confuses and upset she lay back in the grass.
