The Knight looked at Kaylee for a moment before waving his hand. "Ye can begin trainin' whenever ye wish." He paused for a moment. She didn't look like Brotherhood material. "Don make me regre' it." As she walked out an obviously steamed Henry stormed into his office. The Knight slowly rose and listened to his rant, quite surprised the boy had the brass to speak to him that way. He was probably angry at Dante's death, the two had been close, and wanted revenge.
"I know ye went inta th' forrest. An fine by me, if ye wish to be killin' people tha's yer decision." As Henry left he called after him, "Jus don end up like Grixis."

The Dark Knight did not even look up from his work as the boy entered and began to speak. Apparently Grixis has seen something useful in the boy. He on the other hand was skeptical. He spoke like he was educated and from what he said it didn't seem like he had ever used a blade for anything in his life. He wrote down a name and put a form into an envelope and slid it to the other side of his desk and looked up.
"Grixis may 'av liked ye, bu I canno' be so sure." He said and stood up and walked around to the other side to his desk to get a better look at the boy. He was shorter and young, he had an air of confidence around him. He actually was a lot like the assassin he had accepted against his better judgement almost a year ago and he turned out to be one of the best assassin's the Brotherhood had ever seen. But this boy was different, he didn't know the life of a low like almost all of the others did. That made him cautious, even nervous, but he kept his emotionless exterior unmoved.
"Ye go a name lad?" he asked and before he answered he continued, "An wha skills could ye offer th Brotherhood?"

The Knight sat behind his large oak desk in his chambers, scrolls and books stacked up on top of it. He was relaxing in his chair flipping through a file of papers that detailed the latest dealings of his organization and the payment manifests, there were a few minor irregularities but nothing worth looking into. His peace was broken by a knock on the dark wooden door across the room. He groaned and rose, his armor making a quiet grating noise as the plate slid against each other. He took three steps to the door and cracked it open.
The man who was hired to screen the people that asked to see him stood on the other side. "Whadda ye wan'?" He asked roughly. The man averted his eyes and mumbled. "There's a boy here to see you, says on behalf of Dante." The Knight sighed and shook his head. "Send 'im in." He closed the door and went back to his desk and picked up another stack of papers and began to read it. This one was worth keeping, the list of all the new recruits in the past year. He noticed that among the long list of names Dante Grixis-Assassin, was still on it. He picked up his quill and crossed it off and continued through the list, grabbing the stack of contracts and writing out assignments waiting for whoever wanted to see him.

The Dark Knight stood in the front of a small crowd that had gathered near the back of the graveyard. They were assembled to give a final send off to Dante Grixis, on of the greatest assassin's to walk the streets of Camelot. The Knight was dressed in the clothes of a peasant, a hood pulled low over his face to prevent identification. This was the first time in almost a year he had been out in public, but he felt like he had to go.
Outside he was completely emotionless, but inside he felt a mixture of rage and sadness. He remembered when Dante had first shown up in Camelot, exiled from his home and lost in this new place. He had been surprised at Dante's skill as he quickly progressed through the ranks of the Brotherhood. The Knight felt a small amount of guilt for his death, he was the one who sent Dante to kill the Prince after all.
He looked on as a priest approached the casket that held Dante's body. Soon he would be entombed in the earth with all those who had passed before him. The crowd was mostly lows or brotherhood members and from what the Knight could see his were the only dry eyes in the crowd.
He knew that Evie and Henry were Dante's closest friends and he made a mental note to send them his condolences. He couldn't remain here, lest he do something he would regret. As he pushed his way through the crowd to leave he muttered, "Ye'll be missed, lad."

The Knight chuckled. His ploy had worked, the girl was powerless against him and she knew it. He snapped his fingers and a scroll of parchment appeared in his hand. He tossed it to the ground at her feet. "I want ye to consider me offer. Ye could make a good scout, or an assassin if ye need to. The Brotherhood hall is marked on tha map. Go there tommorow nigh at seven. I'll be waitin for ye." He said with a dark tone.
If she did indeed show up he would show her what the brotherhood had to offer her. If not, perhaps he would need to seek her out again. He did a quick about face and walked out of the clearing, snapped his fingers, and was gone.

The Knight thought that he had seen it all. That was until he watched as Nimiane's foot regenerated itself not more than fifteen feet away from him. He withheld his look of disgusted curiosity and kept his neutral demeanor though. "Tha's interestin." He said under his breath as he looked with wonder at her new foot. This girl had more tricks up her sleeve than he could imagine. First the shapeshifting, then the lightning, now she can regenerate? Strange as this was the Knight was only more convinced of her usefulness to the Brotherhood.
He wondered what he had to threaten her with? Bodily harm did not seem to be an issue, so cutting her thumbs off would not coerce her. Perhaps he needed a more psychological factor. Fear might work. He rose from his kneeling position and snapped his fingers.
He disappeared in a thin black smoke and quickly reappeared behind her. "Les see an animal do tha." He said evilly and held his hand up and a wave of psionic energy bursted out. It was weak, he didn't want to kill her yet, the most it would do if it made contact would be knock her forward. He hoped that just the face that he could use powerful magic as well would be enough to intimidate Nimiane.

The Knight was impressed by the girls speed. Another spell or transformation he figured. He barely had time to react to her movement. Whatever she was planning it was an attack from behind. He didn't bother to turn around, or even move for a moment. His fighting senses were heightened from years of combat and even more training, he knew he had to wait until the last possible moment to make a successful dodge.
Suddenly a small crackling noise and the smell of ozone shot through the air. Now was the time to make his move. He quickly dropped to one knee and a blink of an eye later a bolt of lightning rocketed over his head and slammed into a tree across the clearing, causing it to quickly be reduced to smoldering splinters.
He pivoted on his knee and held his right hand up, palm facing his opponent. Perhaps she needed more of a reason to listen to him. He muttered a quick incantation and glowing black ropes shot from his palm, moving quickly towards Nimiane. If they caught and ensnared her she would be completely immobile. If she wasn't such a promising ally he would've just killed her.

The Knight laughed evilly, his horse chuckle projecting and echoing through the clearing. "I don't believe tha there will be any more casualties today. A leas not me. I've fought things much more terrifyin' than a lass that could turn into a wolf." He said. The girl was frightened, and he didn't care, nor was he going to try and calm her. Fear could be used to his advantage, perhaps he could intimidate her into joining the Brotherhood. He took a couple of strides forward and began to speak.
"Yer talents could be put to good use if ye were to join the organization I represent. Killin' doesn't seem to be a problem fer ye, an ye seem to be good a stealth. I wonder wha else ye can do?" He said and took another couple of steps forward. He wondered what her name was. He stared into her eyes and used a powerful dark magic to peer into her mind. He didn't pay attention to any of the thoughts or other things floating around in her head, just the name Nimiane.
"So Nimiane, ye interested?"

The Knight watched with unfeeling coldness as the wolf mauled and killed the man. If she had been a little more alert the wolf may have seen him at the window but it didn't matter, he wasn't going to be the one to turn her in. He ducked low as the wolf dashed off into the woods, and the Knight gave chase, using his skills in sneaking to make sure he would not be heard. He moved quickly and silently behind the wolf as she ran deep into the forrest.
He crouched behind a rock as the wolf stopped and watched as she transformed into a beautiful woman. The transformation was a slow process and looked quite painful but the Knight didn't so much as flinch as he heard the strange sounds and the sickening pop of a joint being put back in its place. She got dressed and began to wash the blood from her face and hands, they were drenched as they were once a snout and paws.
He made the decision to approach the druid, perhaps convince her to join his ranks with the Brotherhood. If she refused or became hostile he was confident that he could hold his own against her. He had faced much fouler things than a shapeshifter. He stepped out from behind the rock and approached her. He stood about twenty feet away and he broke the tranquility of the forest by speaking. "Tha was quite the interestin' trick ye jus pulled." He said, his voice sounding like steel grating on steel, low as a roll of thunder.

The Knight walked slowly, silently though the woods, his footfalls not even making the dry leaves under his feet crunch. He was looking for a particular plant that grew in this part of the forest, Deadly Nightshade. As the name implies he planned to make a powerful poison from it. It was one of the most accessible poisons as well as one of the most effective. It caused fever, vomiting, hallucinations and shortly after, death. His cold eyes scanned the ground before him looking for the plant.
He suddenly heard a branch snap behind him and he leapt into a nearby bush and crouched down. He watched as a large, black wolf passed before him. He realized that this was no ordinary wolf, but a human in wolf form. A druid perhaps? In his life he had seen many things, but a druid was not one of them. As the wolf stalked away he forgot about the nightshade and began to follow it. Should things go south he did have his claymore strapped to his back, and that would make quick work of the beast.
He sat silently at the edge of the forest as the beast entered a town. The place was small, in fact the Knight doubted it had a name. He wondered if this was the druid camp that legend spoke of. He decided it best to wait and see. He crept and hugged the wall of a house and peeked around the corner. He had lost sight of the wolf. He knew that it would appear again if he waited.
The breath left his lungs in a thick white fog but cold didn't bother him. His heavy armor creaked slightly as he leaned further around the corner. He couldn't see anything down the main street of the town, no people and not the beast. Where are ye beast? He wondered inwardly as he patiently waited.

((Remember, if Mab starts out as the best she won't be able to show any improvement, which is a requirement to progress in rank. Also, is she going for magic or for swordsmanship?))

The Dark Knight regarded her like one would a rat, with disgust. She was full of herself, cocky, and overly presumptuous. He had to keep himself from cringing when she touched his desk. Who ever let this woman in here would loose a hand. He looked her over for a moment and pushed her hands off of his desk. "Don't touch me things." He growled.
He didn't like her, hell, he didn't like anyone, but they did need more mages in the Brotherhood. "Ye can train here. Now kindly get out of me sight." He said in a low voice before turning his chair away from her and began paying attention to more important things.
((You are now accepted into the Brotherhood! You can begin training anytime you wish))
