A cloaked assassin perches on a rooftop gargoyle overlooking a sleeping medieval city, completely motionless except for her cloak rippling in the night wind. She wears form-fitting black leather armor and a mask that covers the lower half of her face, with only her calculating eyes visible. Twin daggers are strapped to her thighs, and throwing knives line a bandolier across her chest. Below, guards patrol the cobblestone streets with torches, unaware of her presence. The city spreads out in all directions—peaked roofs, narrow alleys, and the occasional tower. Her target's manor is visible several buildings away, its windows dark. Shadows seem to cling to her unnaturally, as if she commands darkness itself. A full moon hangs heavy in the sky, partially obscured by clouds she seems to wait for. On the rooftop beside her, a raven watches with intelligent eyes—perhaps a familiar, perhaps merely a witness to the violence about to unfold.
