[Lore] VainGlory Lore (Kestral Volume 1)

[Kuhaku 87]

Hello! I_Am_Unkown here with my first story on Kestrel, as promised. If you haven’t read my intro on the game, please click here.

 

Thanks for reading, and without further ado, here is the story!!

 

____________

 

One Shot, One Kill.

 

Night was approaching, and she was returning from finishing her supper and returning to the dorms, where she had lived for the past 13 years. She lived at the Spire, the academy for the true warriors. Very few people knew about the Spire, and even less joined it. Everyone who joined were among the elites of the elites. Starting from a very young age, children would come and live there until 26, their graduation day. Most were orphans, or abandoned by their parents, so they had no home to go too. Others were criminals, but with their extraordinary talents, the Spire recruited them, not wanting their talents to go to waste. Kestrel was an orphan.

 

She was found in front of the doorway of a Spire safehouse, the Spire spent thousands of dollars trying to find the person who left her. But whoever this person was, he or she was able to avoid getting caught. A single worded note was attached to the basket she was found in - her name. Since then, the Spire immediately took her in and began training her when they realized her talents at fighting.

 

She was a master, from swordfighting to archery, from hand to hand combat to swimming. She was a natural.

 

Eventually finding preference in archery, the Spire gave her a custom made bow, with a secret recipe for making deadly arrows. She joined the Assassin Branch, composed mainly of archers like her. Each archer had an unlimited source of arrows, using molecular transportation technology to transport arrows from a hidden source, directly to her Quiver. But each archer was also equipped with a special arrow, dubbed the One Shot One Kill arrow, this arrow would shoot with deadly precision once master. Because of its great power, each archer only carried one at a time, fearing that if accidently ignited, not only would it destroy the archer, but a three mile block as well (as when the One Shot One Kill arrow fuses with another one of its kind, the explosion exponentially gets bigger).

 

But when by itself, it could travel incredible distances and safe distances, much farther than a standard military grade sniper gun. Mastering this weapon was an incredible feat, but Kestrel being a natural, was already a month the masters by the age of 18.

 

And it was on that day, December 4, 2056, that she received her mission, at the age of 18.

 

******

--Please report to commanding center, Agent 256--

 

She read from her visor feed, instantly processing the information, she headed toward commanding center to meet with her commanding officer.

 

“Your target is a billionaire, who made his fortune through mining precious metals. He goes by the name of Nightwalker. Committing countless of illegal activities, the Cambodian government has requested him to be killed. We are giving you this task. We will drop you off at Tx. Hà Tiên. Once you finished your task, use your visor to emit your tracking signal, and we’ll pick you up at the closest extrication sight from your signal. We will be providing you as usual, your One Shot One Kill arrow, and .34 bitcoin, the equivalent to 34,000 USD. Please spend it wisely. Upon a successful return, another .45 Bitcoin will be provided, the equivalent to 45,000 USD. Failure of course will not be tolerated.

 

“Departure is at 0800”.

 

******

 

And so there she was, waiting on top of a canyon, 6 miles away. Waiting for Nightwalker to appear from his mansion door, as he did everyday at 0600, meeting his employees, discussing his business empire as he took his morning stroll.

 

She calmly loaded her arrow at 0555, waiting for her target to appear. But then suddenly she felt another presence behind her. Wielding a laser powered sword, a robot appeared, ready to strike. Quickly she dropped the bow, and ripped out her twin daggers, used for close combat.

 

She realized that she could easily beat the robot. But the robot seemed to know this too. In a blink of an eye the robot shoved her off the cliff, but She was able to hold on to a ledge. She saw the robot dashing towards the mansion, and realized that she would return with more of her kind. Knowing that being captured would result in an the Spire’s confidentiality being revealed, she couldn't let this happen. Quickly climbed back to the top of the cliff, and switched her One Shot One Kill arrow with a standard one. Taking aim, she cursed. The robot was already out of the bow’s range. She had a decision to make.

 

Either she could simply assassinate Nightwalker now, and take her chances with revealing all information about the Spire, due to the robot escaping. Or she could user her One Shot One Kill arrow, and destroy the robot, along with any trace of the Spire as well. But that meant failure. She would be expelled from the Spire academy, shunned.

 

She, sighed, knowing she would regret this decision one way or another. She aimed, took a calming breath, and shot.

 

She never missed.

******

 

3 months later

 

“So, what makes you think that you should be able to join our lord, Nightwalker’s elite force?”

 

She answered immediately,”I have revenge among the leaders there, for never revealing my real name, and biological father

 

I will stop at no costs to destroy all traces of the Spire, once and for all”.

 

The robot paused, realizing this woman was serious. She was passing with flying colors. She would be accepted to the elite force, no question about it.

 

The robot asked, ”What’s your name, as you will be accepted to the elite force?”.

 

The woman paused for a moment, and spoke, ”Please, call me Kestrel”.
