An Angel Among the Wind (Open)

[Victor Wolfe]

Victor thought about exactly what the girl had told him, her story was even sadder than his, he had lost his family and country but had gained a lot in return , his skills , and much of his world view were shaped around what he was taught at a young age in the academy. This girl however had lost almost everything , she had also suffered one of what Wolfe considered to be an absolute taboo, to be betray one's kin, this girl's own sister had turned against her and caused her homeland to be locked away.

He noticed the tears starting to stream down the girl's face and felt something he had not felt in a long time, Empathy, a feeling that served very little purpose to an assassin but still was nice to know he could still feel, he felt a slight tinge of guilt for bringing up a subject that had brought the girl to tears.

He walked over towards her and embraced her, pulling her towards his chest and said softly " you know I always used to hate the rain, I found it cold , harsh and that it would remind me of all the bad things that happened in my life, but now that I can associate Rain with you , it does not seem that bad. So please don't cry , its always saddening to see such a beautiful face without a smile on it" Victor let go of the girl and began to walk forward towards New Babylon, emotional outburst where not that normal for him, and he decided to try and collect his thoughts, he turned to the girl and said one last word of encouragement " the new dress looks great on you" And proceeded to walk onwards keeping a slow but steady pace.
