One dark and gloomy night she arrived to the main gate of citadel. She is now trained assassin with money and contacts to carry out her revenge and kill the man who took away her family when she was a child. At the time man was nothing but a leader for bunch of rogues and thiefs. Later on he bought his title and now claims to be noble lord. She enters the lords citadel and mutters quietly something about revenge. Lord wakes up from his nightmare looking ill. He stands up and walks around for a while and gets back to bed. He seems thoughtful for a moment and then turns to his side. Suddenly he hears a tiny sound coming right behind his back. At the same moment he turns on his back, something hard and cold pierces his chest. He manages to utter a sound of pain before somebody puts hand over his mouth. Last thing he sees is face of young woman staring him with dark cold eyes, now turning her head to door when lords loyal guards rush into the room. Woman sprints between confused guards to the nearest corridor. She quickly paces along the corridors between the huge and high halls of the Citadel. She glances left to right swiftly as she suddenly notices several patrols approching her. She hastly turns to flee - only to get hit by a shield of guard charging her from behind. She felts off balance and stumbles down wounding herself from the guards sword. Almost unconscious from the blow and the wound she lays on the ground, hearing the angry yells and deep growl of the incoming guards. Suddenly shadowy figure floats in through the door she walked by before and fills the room with deep black smoke. She is already unconscious from pain when the bolts of dark fire shoots out of the shadowy figure and shear through the nearby guards. Rest of the guards starts choking from the smoke and they flee in panic. Strange force raises woman from ground and carries her to nearby old temple, over the smoking piles of flesh which used to be guards of the citadel. As she regains consciousness she hears a weird voice, like no voice but some dark echo trying to tell something. First she cant understand but slowly starts hearing recognizable words. Voice belongs to spirit of Erked, former high priest of dark elf brotherhood called Crystalblade. Erked hisses weird words towards wounded assassin and gives her strange liquid to drink. She felts like her blood is boiling. Amazingly her wounds rapidly started to heal and her strength to return. Erked continues its chants and reads some unholy blesses over her blades. She wields her deadly blades and charges back into the citadel. Army of guards is waiting her outside the old temple. She ceases and stands still. Guards rush forward yelling battlecrys and revenge for their master. She calmly stands still. When she is almost circled her dance of death begins. First guards are death in blink of the eye. Evading deadly blows she proceed like a shadow through the mass of guards using her deadly blades and unholy speed. Captain of guards rushes forward swinging his shining long blade. Captain makes multiple experienced attacking maneuvers but his soon-to-be-last maneuver hits fellow guards chainmail, stucking his blade for mere moment. That moment is enough for her to pierce the captains head with deadly blow and finish off unlucky guard in chainmail. Few minutes later the army of guards lays mutilated on ground, several faces turned to grotescue expressions from the poisonous wounds. She walks out of the main gate knowing she's something else now... She is a children of darkness. A dread of the people. A slayer of the lords. She is now follower of the Crystalblade Brotherhood.
