She is mine! I won't let you take it, even if you are Assassins!!
Jeffry Ernest Luxion
****
Seven horsemen, the Legendary in the Immortal world. Assassin, that's what the inhabitants of the Immortal world call it. Told in legend, Assassins are creatures who ride black horses and wear long black robes covering the faces of the demon masks they always wear.
It wasn't their extraordinary physical strength or magical weapons, but rather the fear they evoked. Even from a very far radius, the presence of the Assassin could be felt, making one's soul frightened. This horror will continue to be felt by the victim for a long time, the victim seems to have lost his mind, because in his mind there is only the desire to DIE. Nothing could heal him, except the tears of the forest fairies. Even the strongest king could not move before the Assassin.
But wait, let the Assassins explain who they are...
"Assassins, that's what they call us. We neither live nor die. Our only desire is death, to absorb the soul of a person, to cause great fear. Until we are often considered the true angels of death." Obviously him.
The young man smiled faintly showing the dimples on his cheeks. No one would have thought that that face was the face behind the Assassin's demon mask.
Zara remained faithful to sit hidden behind Jeffry, listening to the story directly from the Assassins. After a brief fight earlier, the Assassins actually invited Zara and Jeffry to talk near a small river which is still a Dark Angel forest area.
"Let's go now Jeffry! Why are you even talking to them?!" snorted Zara, whispering in a low voice, glancing over at men hideous
"Your sword will not be able to hurt Assassins, because we are neither dead nor alive. But we have weaknesses, water and light, these two things are scourges for Assassins, because these two things are guarded directly by the Goddess."
Jeffry listened intently. "Then why did you meet us?!" asked Jeffry fearlessly.
"She, the woman behind you." Zara suddenly glared at him.
"She's mine!! I won't let you take her, even if you are Assassins!!" Jeffry said, starting to get angry.
Hearing Jeffry's narrative made Zara stare in amazement and relief.
They actually laughed at Jeffry's words. "You're right, I seem to have changed my mind. Even if we wanted to, we wouldn't take the possessor of immortal blood."
The man smiled again. Jeffry in his place seemed to be prepared if they made an attack.
"Looks like you don't believe me." The man then stood up and walked over to Jeffry.
Sring!
Jeffry had brandished his sword again.
"Come here!" The man reached out his hand for someone behind Jeffry who was hiding himself even more.
"Get your hands off!!" Jeffry snapped in a growl voice.
"I won't be able to hurt ours, come here!" Unexpectedly Zara even approached and gave a helping hand.
"Clever girl." the man had brought Zara to sit in her place.
"No!" prevented Zara when the man was about to hold her, Jeffry had also raised his sword towards the man's neck.
Zara stares in disbelief as a light shoots out from the man's palm then attaches it to Zara's injured leg. When the man pulls his hand back Zara hastily removes the bandage and the wound disappears without a trace.
"I told you I wouldn't hurt you, you're ours."
"How can I be yours? We've never even met."
"I am Narja, the leader of the Assassins, and the six of them are my brothers." He said introducing himself as friendly as possible.
"He's Jake." The man who had stolen Zara's attention because of his good looks.
"He’s Ronald." pointed Narja at the man with eagle-eyed eyes sitting beside Jake.
"He's Daniel." Point it at the man who is completely expressionless.
"Compared to others, he seems to be the most unfriendly."
Zara glared at Daniel who had been staring at him intensely for a long time. Several times Zara was made to shudder in horror when she accidentally looked into his eyes.
"I like your lips."
said Daniel and managed to make Zara lower her gaze even more. And don't forget the murderous stare that Jeffry presented.
Hearing his partner's words, the man next to Daniel looked annoyed.
"He, the man beside Daniel, is Levando." continued Narja.
Levando smiled widely, making Zara smile again.
"Beautiful."
"He's Arya." Arya waved his hand towards Zara and gave a small smile without taking his eyes off Zara.
"And he, Vernan!" Zara briefly met the man who looked like a prince. Vernan smiled slightly. He looks the most quiet and talkative.
"Let me also introduce myself, I'm Zara and this is Jeffry, my lover." Jeffry gasped - turned to look at Zara's innocent face.
"You can't be that vampire's lover!!" Daniel said with a look that did not like Jeffry.
"Shut your mouth Daniel!!"ordered Narja firmly.
"Can I explain now?" Narja bargained and Zara replied enthusiastically.
"Our teacher gave us an ancient book. He told us to read it. At first we didn't care, but out of curiosity Jake and I ended up reading it."
"That book contains a lot of things about the immortal world. Including prophecies about you. The owner of immortal blood. I'm getting more and more interested in reading it, because Assassins are mentioned several times in the prophecy." continued Jake.
"What's in it?" asked Zara curiously.
"The group of Assassins assigned to protect you."
"The extraordinary power bestowed upon us Assassins will guard your blood from the damn vampires."
Ronald managed to arouse Jeffry's anger, which was ready to overflow at any time.
"Then just protect me. You don't need me to have you, do you?"
Zara quickly and precisely diverts the conversation, before anything bad in her mind is about to happen. She tried to calm Jeffry who was about to get up from his quiet seat.
"No Zara. What is meant to be with us, must be ours." Daniel answered quickly.
Zara glared sharply, "No, I don't want to share with seven men at once."
Jeffry chuckled at Zara's confession.
"Yes you are right Zara, you will not be able to serve us all." Ronald chimed in.
"Watch your mouth!!" Jeffry's eyes flashed red at Ronald.
"No, that won't happen, miss. That book is an ancient book. If the present Assassins were those of the past, you would definitely be forced to be with them. While we are different, we are not the Assassins I told you about." said Arya.
"That's right. Let's just say that Assassins have evolved over time." Vernan took part in the tense conversation.
"We are only descendants of the Assassins, in our bodies their blood flows, but we are not like them. The Assassins that the people of this world know are the past Assassins, our ancestors who are now free from their punishment, they have gone with the Souls who have passed away. peace." Obviously Narja.
"What about your life so far?"
Blame Zara's curiosity that even escalates at a tense moment like this.
"All this time we were trained in Mordo. A place that will not be reached by any creature. Our kingdom is there. From childhood we trained in Mordo to become Assassins. Actually, the title of Assassin is not obtained from training, but for those Kings whose souls are cursed ." said Levando did not escape his smile.
"Initially our goal of leaving Mordo was just to take you Zara and maybe produce offspring from you." Ronald said with eyes that kept staring at Jeffry full of disdain.
"Your joking is really not funny." dodge Zara can't believe it.
"That's what we should do, take you to Mordo and be ours." Jake said with a faint smile--looking at Zara and of course managed to make the master feel awkward.
Jeffry who saw it looked displeased, it felt like he wanted to throw his sword at Jake's head that very second.
"There's one thing more interesting than an Assassin as your protector. About who someone is destined to have you. Someone who will have offspring from you. More interestingly, he's a vampire."
Jeffry stared intensely when Narja looked at him suddenly.
Zara is no less surprised to hear that. "Vampire?"
"I hope it's Jeffry."
Jeffry briefly turned to Jeffry, forming a small smile on the corners of his lips.
"Okay, can we stop dwelling on this complicated matter. If I don't bring my future wife to Mordo, at least let me make her happy." said Levando and stood up to Zara.
"Come here, Zara, I'll take you fishing, you're hungry aren't you?" Zara nods.
"No way! Zara will be with me!" said Daniel suddenly.
"Then, just the three of us, that's better in my opinion." Zara's opinion managed to make them nod happily.
"I will look for firewood with Arya," said Ronald, getting up from his seat and Arya followed immediately.
"Me and Vernan will make a bed for Zara tonight to rest." Jake also walked away with Vernan.
Narja nodded their approval.
"You don't want to do something?" asked Narja to the figure of the man who still remained silent. Jeffry's silence was not without reason, all the Assassin's words regarding the owner of immortal blood kept ringing in his head.
"I'll clean myself up for a bit." said Jeffry and rose from his seat.

A while has passed
"Just once do things right Levando!!" shouted Daniel furiously.
Zara is on the river bank watching the two of them constantly arguing. In fact, only one fish was caught and it was small.
"They are always like that, please understand .."
"Ehh.. you??" Zara was startled from her seat when one of the Assassins suddenly approached her.
Jake also plunged into the river that was only up to his ankles. Daniel and Levando looked at each other as Jake in a short time managed to catch two fairly large fish.
"Looks like we lost quickly." said Levando with a disappointed face.
"How not, all you guys did was fight earlier, even though I'm already very hungry." complained Zara with full honesty.
Suddenly Ronald and Arya, who had just come from looking for wood, laughed loudly and laughed at Daniel and Levando, who had pretty faces.
"Thanks Jake!" a look of pleasure etched on Zara's face. Jake nodded slightly.
"Let us take it!" Daniel and Levando quickly grabbed two of Jake's fish and started cooking them in the small fire that Ronald and Arya had built.
"Zara!" She turned to look at Jake who was smiling.
"Your smile is so sweet. I like it."
"Oh God. Your heart isn't this week Zara. Ahh shit, why is Jake so handsome." Zara's eyes sparkled looking at Jake's eyes which looked very beautiful.
"What the hell. Has Jake ever confessed his feelings? Not with a creature like him Zara. Imagine what your child will become."
Zara suddenly flinched at a small punch on her shoulder.
"Thank you. You are also handsome, but my boyfriend is more handsome."
Jake noticed the terrified look on Zara's face. It made Jake chuckle at the sight.
"You're still as sweet as you were back then."
"Jeffry! Where is he?" Zara jogged away leaving Jake who was still smiling.
"Narja! Where is Jeffry??" he asked with a worried look when he couldn't find Jeffry anywhere.
"He said he'd clean up in a bit."
"Then I'll look for him."
"No, I'll be the one looking for it. You just help them, Zara. I'm not sure they can get it right." persuaded Narja and Zara nodded in return.
"Where are you Jeffery?" he looks worried.
His thirst was now quenched by fresh deer blood. Jeffry was on higher ground sitting there pensively with thoughts racing. Who else if not the owner of the immortal blood that always fills his mind.
If Zara was with the Assassins she would be very safe. Who are the creatures who will dare to fight them, even though they are not the Assassins in the legends, but the power of the previous Assassins must be owned by them and Jeffry has seen it for himself. They can't possibly hurt Zara because their goal is to protect the owner of immortal blood.
Jeffry believed their words could not be doubted and why fate liked to play with him.
Jeffry had a tough decision to make, giving Zara to them was probably the right choice. No one will ever be able to hurt Zara again. But, deep down in his heart, Jeffry didn't want to give Zara to anyone.
Say it's selfish. But, Jeffry felt he was the one who should protect Zara.
A pair of fangs that still contained the remains of deer blood were seen sticking out at the corners of Jeffry's lips. He has taken an oath to be a Guardian for Zara, by handing Zara over to the Assassins, maybe that has been included in his oath.
And Jeffry would probably make that decision.
