"I require the services of the most monstrous and effective assassins of the Dark Zone. Preferably of Guardian rank.", says Gorak to his father, the Dark Lord.
Skotos raises a brow in surprise.
"An odd request, coming from you.
Might I ask, who it is you want to assassinate?"
It was unusual. On the ordinary, Gorak would be murdering his enemies face to face because it was more enjoyable that way.
So why did he need an assassin? And one of Guardian level too…
'What lower level enemy could he not kill himself within a breath?'
"A Guardian.", responds Gorak.
"She betrayed me."
Gorak keeps the details as brief as possible. He wouldn't want to give Skotos one more thing in his life to ruin.
On hearing Gorak's response, Skotos' interest is instantly picked.
'...She?'

'So there was a she… A Guardian Gorak can't kill himself! Hah!', Skotos chuckles within himself, amused.
