บท 818: Cap 816: A plan unfolds in the shadows

Pov of a cultist: 

I was honored to be chosen to stand beside the Lord of Shadows in his new vessel during an important mission, I know that I was only chosen for my appearance which is intimidating to others because I am a Dragonewt. 

Fools often judge by appearance, so having someone strong and intimidating like me around was a decision to prevent people from getting close to the Lord of Shadows. 

But I didn't expect us to be targeted by an Assassin being only 3 days in this city, everything was going according to plan and I never let my guard down, but it seems I didn't put enough effort into my duties. 

"Looks like he had a good plan to escape." (Lord of Shadows) 

I was on my knees after smashing the food stall vendor's head and burning the body, I was waiting for the Lord of Shadows to finish feeding on the Assassin who ripped the head from its receptacle.
