Lucian Lyse entered the bar silently, in full disguise under a dark hood with advanced illusion magic from one of his court magicians to alter his physical features.
To Catch a Beast...
He went up to the bartender and gave him a smile.
"The usual." he said, as his blood red eyes gleamed in the dimly lit room.
The bartender looked at him, and smiled, before passing him a drink in a fancy, golden goblet.
"Anything new?" Lucian asked, as he took a sip of his drink.
The bartender paused in his wiping, leaning in toward him and lowering his voice as he spoke.
"It seems like there are some rebel groups appearing all over the Dark Kingdom." he whispered, as Lucian took a calm sip of his drink once again, "And here's the catch..."
He took a peak around them to make sure that nobody was listening in, before continuing.
"The Dark King seems to be worried. My confederates in the court told me that he is on the brink of giving up entirely. His reign is near its end."
He let his words sink in.
A moment of heavy silence passed. Then, Lucian smiled.
"That's certainly good news for my Leader." he said, his eyes unseen beneath his hood, "She would be glad to hear it."
He then slipped the bartender something in a small silk pouch.
"Thanks for the information as always."
The bartender's eyes lit up in greed, as he accepted his compensation.
Little did he know that soon, Lucian would have little use for him.
And then-
To Catch a Beast...
You need to become a Beast yourself.
Lucian Lyse, the Dark King, smiled silently to himself.

OOC: Wow, thanks for that...
 ʑoë Ѵaʅe
Zoë was relieved. It seemed that the patrons of this bar minded their own business and no one approached her. She sat calmly sipping her wine and munching on some bread and cheese; they had scrounged up for her.
Though...I don't know if paying extra for the food was necessarily worth it. The cheese is slightly moldy and the bread is stale.
She stared at the food dissatisfied, but also thankful that she was sitting in a dark corner and couldn't fully see the horror of the food.
At the end of her watered down wine, she heard the bar's door open and a saw a dark cloaked figure enter. She shrunk back in the shadows pulling her cloak tighter around her as she sensed immense power emanating from this mysterious figure. She also tensed from the fact there was the slight shimmer, giving away the magic cast on them. There was intricate illusion magic hiding their identity.
She observed silently as the figure approached the bartender, gasping at the regal chalice that was placed in front customer. She tried to listen in on their conversation, but could only hear murmurs. She did catch an important line...
How has Queen Alyssia's reign weakened so much in a year? And did they mention a leader...
Her face became grim as she watched the spy for their enemies leave.
I have to stop them from reporting back...
She waited till they had left the bar before placing some money on the table and pulling her cloak over her face. She exited the bar, trying to once again sense the person's power. She quickly cast a shadow illusion upon herself, making it harder to notice her in the dark alleyways of the city. Softly and swiftly she followed the figure.
I know, I'm not powerful enough to defeat them on my own, but...
She loosened her dagger in its sheath so she could pull it silently to cut them down,
Not even they, can withstand poison... |

As soon as Lucian Lyse left the bar, he could sense someone following him.
...
He kept his pace steady, giving off no signs to his observer that he had already noticed them.
A member of the rebel forces?
He turned around a corner, catching sight of the figure behind him without him/her noticing.
Imperial gear.
He continued on for a bit, before walking right into a dark alleyway.
Appears to be one of our court. But that tells me nothing.
He turned around a corner, and then suddenly increased his pace.
Because after all, friend and foe...
He began to dash at impossible speeds, putting some distance between him and his pursuer.
Are synonymous in this kingdom.
He disappeared all of a sudden, watching in the shadows in the domain that he had completely installed into his memory.
His pursuer appeared, now faced with a dead end.
Silence.
"May I assist you with something."
He said to his pursuer, as he reappeared behind them, a sword positioned across his/her neck.

ʑoë Ѵaʅe
Zoë had been following the figure for a short time,
Thankfully, they haven't noticed me yet There was a small seed of pride building in her as the figure continued on calmly without so much as a glance back. However, that soon vanished as the next corner she took, the figure was running down trying to escape their follower. Soon they were was out of sight, and Zoë found herself at a dead end.
What in the world were they?
She thought through all the known races mentioned in books.
They could have only done that with enhancement magic, or they are an extremely old race...
She sighed disappointed in her own abilities and focused on her surroundings trying to sense the presence even if it was weak.
She soon felt the presence that she was looking for. Unfortunately, for her they were directly behind her. She felt the sting of a sword at her neck and heard there low voice demanding answers. She didn't dare turn her head in fear of accidently slitting her own throat.
She stayed silent as she tried to think of a way out of her current situation. I don't think, I can charm them... I definitely can't try to cut them or else they might get me too. She let her dagger fall sheathed once more.
"Yes, actually..." She paused trying to stall them as she quickly cast some magic,
"My friends would like to ask you some questions."
She spoke boldly as the alleyway's entrance was soon blocked by men holding swords and torches that wavered softly in the breeze. There were people on the nearby building's roofs aiming bows at the figure.
She placed a hand on the figure's sword wrist,
"Now...if you wouldn't mind, please remove this from my throat. I get your point it's rather unpleasant to be snuck up on, but it's also unpleasant to have sword aimed at you." Her voice sounded satisfied as she spoke. She was pleased with what she had created in a short amount of time even if they were slightly transparent.
Luckily, it's dark so maybe they won't notice... |

Lucian's eyes flashed with resentment as the figures disappeared, completely enraged by the almost traumatic experience that it gave him.
"What is your-"
His eyes widened slightly, as the girl revealed herself.
Alyssia's attendant. What was she doing here...
His train of thought was broken off by a sharp sting on his arm.
He looked at his arm, realizing that Zoe had stabbed him lightly with her dagger.
That little-
Light turned his eyes toward Zoe once again, the red in them flickering like raging flames.
He slowly began to lose conscious, as the sleeping drug took effect.
He blinked, trying to keep himself awake, yet was unsuccessful.
Slumping against her, he lost conscious, long luxurious eye lashes and dark hair framing his doll-like face, peaceful and without hatred.
