Heart of an Assassin
You run in the direction of your house, knowing, even as you do so, that your family is doomed. You are certain that your life is over. Why else would an assassin be in your home village?
There is one question that sticks in your mind, though. Why would he have let you live? You saw his face, and that should have been enough to warrant your death. Assassins simply did not let those who knew their identity live.
You lose all of that train of thought, though, as you come to where your house is supposed to be.
The building is a burned ruin. You stare with wide eyes, fighting the urge to just crumple to the floor and sob your heart out. Your family might not be dead. They could have got out.
As you search through the ruins, though, you know that that is not the case. You eventually come across the burned remains of your family, and just stand there staring, a lump in your throat, barely able to cry.
Finally, you wipe your eyes. You can't continue grieving. You will have to avenge your family's death with the death of the person who murdered them. The assassin will not get away with what he did. You will see to that.
The only question left is what will you train as?
