Lady of the night

My name is Dywer Von Luther, and I’m one of the world's best assassins. I’ve been watching life fade from targets for nearly twenty years, and not once has a target managed to escape from my sights.

Whether it's the farmer who slept with your wife, or the king of an opposing kingdom. If someone wants someone dead, I’ll make them dead. Of course, I’ll only do so if my fee is paid, it’s not worth the risk unless I’m swimming in gold.

I recently traveled to Lhongfhork to meet with someone about a potential new job. When I arrived in town at our meetup spot, I was surprised when a younger woman approached with all kinds of bruises and cuts.

I confirmed that she was the client, all while my guard was up, for some reason something about this woman was very off. It was almost like the person I was talking to was not this young lass. She began to tell me about the person she wanted killed.

It was an older man, probably late fifties, with a long white beard. He lives near Lhongfhork forest, his home is built into one of the large trees. She told me she was willing to pay a thousand gold for his head, but she’d only pay half up front, the other half would be paid afterward.

I agreed, after all this guy is as good as dead, and if she doesn’t have the other half when I come back I’ll kill her. With all the info I needed, I made my way through the forest and found his house. I found myself in a spot nearby where I wouldn't be seen and covered myself with leaves.

For the next three days, I watched the man and his house. He didn’t really do much, he spent the days wandering around like a madman, and at night he’d go down to the basement, I guess that’s probably where he sleeps. I wonder what he did to piss that woman off.

Maybe he tried to have his way with her, maybe he did have his way, but he definitely seems the type. Doesn’t matter to me though, he could be innocent, but I’m going to cut him open no matter what.

I think I waited long enough, this old timer doesn’t need any more time in this world. So that night after he went down to his basement, I snuck into his house through a window. I made my way to the stairs and slowly went down them.

I was expecting him to be asleep down here, but instead, no one was down there. I walked down to inspect when suddenly I found myself frozen in place. Some sort of magic was used to fling me around until I was facing the old man.

Next to the man, was the woman who had hired me, I guess my feeling was right about her. The man patted her on the head telling her she did good. Then he walked up to me and put his hands on my face.

He began to tell me about his scheme. He has the woman lure people to his house, then he traps them in his basement and transforms them into different types of women, ranging from human women to animal girls, even creatures like goblins.

After that, he sells them to rich people on the black market. His favorite part is when he adds the curse that makes his victims obedient and unable to speak about what happened to them and their old lives.

He then went on to explain that the villagers in Lhongfhork had started to catch onto him, so he needed someone really good at killing to protect him from them. So he had the woman reach out to me and hire me so that he could trap me with a curse.

With that he began to cast his spell on me, I tried to fight it, but I was unable to reach my magic-dispelling stone. I began preparing myself to turn into some sort of beast girl like he had mentioned.

When the spell finished, I was so much smaller and younger. I wasn’t any sort of animal or monster girl, instead I was just a human girl. The man walked over to me, held my face in his hands, and kissed me.

As he was kissing me, I took advantage of the situation and stabbed him in the stomach. He fell backward with the most surprised look on his face. I walked over and pulled my knife out of his stomach.

As he fell to the ground, he asked how this was possible. I laughed and told him it was a bad idea to try and recruit me, I was born immune to magic that alters the mental state, and yes that includes curses.

His hands start to glow and he moves them towards his stomach, but I quickly run up to him and finish him off, letting his head roll onto the floor. Now covered in blood, and in clothes way too big for me, I was forced to remove most of my equipment.

I ended up ripping apart my cloak and tying it around myself into a dress of some sort. Unfortunately, I was stuck with the body he gave me, but I’ve never been one to let little things get to me. I turn and see the woman who had tricked me into coming here sitting in the corner crying.

I walked up to her with my knife, and she began begging me not to kill her. She told me he had kidnapped her and transformed her as well. It seems the curse placed on her died with the old man. I told her I didn’t really care about that, all I wanted was the other half of my payment.

The woman said she would show me where the wizard kept all his gold. She walked over to the other side of the room and removed a fake wall, and behind it was several bags of gold. As I was sifting through all the gold I found, a magic bag, the woman explained that it was capable of making anything inside it weigh less.

She also went on to explain that there was no limit to how much stuff could be put into it. I grab the bag and start filling it with all the gold. I even went back and fit all my equipment inside it, once I had everything I left.

I went to the market district in Lhongfhork and bought myself brand-new equipment. I tried to ask about mages with the ability to change someone's gender. I was hoping to find a way back to my old body but I was shit out of luck.

So much like I’ve done my whole life I adapted to my situation, I bought a nice sexy outfit, one that’s easy to move around in and conceal weapons, and of course, I bought all new weapons, ones easier to use in this body.

I spent a month practicing and getting used to my new body, before eventually going back to taking on jobs. My clients were a little confused at first as they were expecting a tougher older man. They of course doubted me at first, but they soon found out exactly what I had found out.

This body made it so much easier to kill people, all I have to do is seduce people and get into their bedrooms. Hell, some of my targets beg me to sleep with them, so I often find myself portraying myself as a lady of the night and making my way home with them, and then I kill them. Of course, sometimes I do sleep with them, I mean just because my body changed doesn’t mean I don’t have needs.
