May you find while reading a lot of references not only to LMS but also to others fanfiction. This is my tribute to my predecessors that inspire me to write more.

  If as an author, you see a reference and you do not like, send me a private message with the reference to modify or delete.

  I usually write in third person. But for the battles I will begin to write in first person. For some reason the battles are easier to write for me that way

  ***** I and Felling *****

  My name is Clotild, yes, it is a strange name which means she who fights victoriously, I have 6 years and in my family that means I should start killing. I come from a lineage of master’s assassins.

  Tradition says that on reaching the age of 6 all young of the clan must pass three tests, the first test with only a dagger and leather clothing the candidate must kill without making a sound 5 monsters Level 30.

  The second test is to avoid dying for 24 hours every clan members will try to kill the candidate.

  The last test is to live for 6 months without being seen in the shadow of the wall of the nearest citadel located on the border of the Kallamore kingdom.

  Passing the first test I broke a record by finish in less than 6 hours, the second test had to be stopped because I hurt all my persecutors so that would take them a year to walk again. But the third test was the hardest I had to keep moving every hour or the guards would see me. I could up to 20 meters away from the wall and hide in the trees but I found a problem a young feller twelve or thirteen years older than me. The feller cut all the trees near the wall at high speed about a dozen trees were falling per day. For some reason I could not stop watching this young feller without understanding how I finished following him every day.

  The young man was tall with more than two meters tall, with broad shoulders, blue eyes, and brown hair. The feller cut the trees in rhythm until noon when an old man appeared. The old man had a beard and clothes full of sawdust. The old man brought a basket to the feller. I started to hear their conversation.

  “Young teacher, Thank you” the feller said.

  “Raymond, it's almost two years since the great master command you to cut 50000 trees, how many trees you been cut so far?”

  “Almost 15000” Raymond said showing a steel ax with magic numbers in fire

  “The great master must have great faith in you, I just cut 10000 after all the trees determine the student's potential” said the old man.

  The 6 endless months passed while I watched Raymond every day and listening to their conversations with teachers who were the ones who spoke as Raymond was a man of few words. My last night near the citadel I put a rose carved of wood near where Raymond was sleeping. While I was resigned to my fate as an assassin.

  My first assassination mission was to pose as an orphan and make the victim take me. The victim a wealthy fat called Lord Graham adopted all the girls in town to become sex slaves. The fool guided me to his house without thinking, he carried me to his room thinking it would be an easy prey but he was wrong. He closed the door behind and looked at me while I stabbed him in the back.

  I do not remember the others that I killed during the following years were hundreds if not thousands, those that fell dead by my knife. At the age of 18 I was already famous as the black widow and my specialty was to make the victim fall in love with me before killing them.

  My current mission was to kill a carpenter who owns a magic wood or something like that. I had already killed people in possession of magic objects and relics so I thought it would be easy to make the carpenter fell in love with me and kill him as soon as I could see the magic wood.

  The information I had on the victim was saying that he had a workshop in the citadel located on the border of the Kallamore kingdom. As I approached the shop I could see the victim, identified with a magic that could only be seen by the people in my clan. But observing the victim better I almost fainted, the victim was Raymond.

  After thinking about it I decided to stick with the plan and make Raymond fall in love with my. After all that was my mission, no matter that I dreamed about Raymond for years, or the time that I spent in the distance observing it as a child. I am a woman now with responsibilities and one of them is that Raymond fall in love of my.

  I started carrying a lunch along with a letter every day and watching from afar as Raymond ate and read the letter. It took me 2 months to receive a response from Raymond in the form of a letter saying “Come to the north gate of the citadel at 5 in the afternoon, I will wait for you”.

  A little nervous I dressed in my sexiest clothes and went to the meeting place. Raymond saw me and took my hand without saying anything he started to guide me to the north and following a small path in the woods we reached a small lake. Two figures were seen across the lake but my experience told me they were not alive. At get closer I look at the first statue without understanding the statue was of a girl with a wooden flower. Was me, 12 years ago. With a tear in my eyes and a voice full of happiness I asked.

  “When”

  “When I first saw you? Or when I fall in love with you?” Raymond said

  “Both”

  “I actually never saw you or at least not until you gave me that flower, you'll see as a carpenter, I have the ability to see the history of an object as long as it is made of wood. When you gave me the flower, I saw how you created it splinter by splinter, you past, and also the feelings that you wanted to express with the wooden flower. I fall in love of you, when using my ability in the lunch box”

  “Then you know about my clan and my mission to kill you”

  “Yes” Raymond said pointing to the second statue.

  The statue looked like Raymond with a dagger in the heart

  “Let's get married and flee together, I will use my ability to give life to the statue for a while. So we can flee faking my death.” Raymond said

  And so, for 70 years we fled. The last 30 years we were established in the City of Woodfort.

  I was the first and only leader of the guild of information and Raymond was the leader of the guild of carpenters.

  But death waits for no one, a year ago Raymond died of natural causes. Raymond left me two missions before he died, one was taking care of the ax, and the second revive the lost art of carpentry.

  Months passed since Raymond died. All was well there are still three apprentices in the Guild of carpentry but foreigners had to appear convinced apprentices to follow foreigners to war without paying. I warned the apprentices if they let village they would die. But they ignored me, so I kill them with poison.

  Without apprentices, I thought to leave the village to find someone with the skills to become a carpenter but the murders took place in the church and that led me to postpone my trip I could not risk being discovered by my clan or other murderers.

  So I started to look for clues of the murder in the church, but I got distracted when I saw this foreigner appear, it was strange, no foreigner had appeared since it began the war and the few who did not return because no one spoke to them and out of the city they met a sure death.

  the newcomer did something strange began to plant flowers, for some reason the newcomer looked like a nice guy so when he asked me for a place to train I gave him a letter for Ivar, after all with the lack of soldiers the village requires all men willing to fight.

  Some time later I was surprised to see the young stranger into my home to see his eyes I knew he was looking the ax, I try to convince him that it was impossible to get the ax without wasting years trying to become a carpenter, but the fool did not draw back, instead of that he made the bet that he might become a carpenter in a week, I accepted thinking about the fun I would have at kick him out of the village.

  I gave him food for a week and he locked himself in the workshop. The last day the young man left the workshop with a smile on his face
