The Magician

<p><em><strong>The lion may be the king of the jungle but even he fears the lioness.</span></strong></em></p> <p>Just to be clear, I’m Charlie and I’m the greatest assassin mage ever. The fact I’ve never taken a life is…</p> <p>A technicality.</p> <p>I’ve dreamt to be handpicked by my clan for a target so I can honor the memory of my parents. But even I wouldn’t pick me to kill the most powerful vampire in the world.</p> <p>This screams of a setup from a mile away. In my mind I might be a deadly killer. In reality, I would probably trip and impale myself on my own magic.</p> <p>However, what I lack in experience I make up in determination. If I have 24 hours to get the job done, the mother-sucker is going down in twelve.</p> <p>I’ll choke him to death if I have to.</p> <p>Wish me luck.</p>
