The Ritual Executioner’s Artifact Set

RITUAL EXECUTOR'S GOBLET

"Don't worry, they'll be sent to... an appropriate place."

The day of execution came suddenly. Barging into her cell, the fully white-dressed and masked person came to shackle and whisk her away. The Nameless Assassin never held out hope for rescue nor redemption. Even so, she tried to shield the small stack of yellow-paged books in the cell's corner. The masked knight eyed her silently, then a cold, foreign and metallic voice emanated from under the helmet, before tugging at the shackles around her wrists.

RITUAL EXECUTOR'S FLOWER

"Please don't raise your head from the platform."

Built differently from the rest of the keep, the execution room is tiled in lily white stone. So pristine were the white stone, it lit up the windowless room with bright white light without a torch in sight. At the center is a circular raised platform, not higher than the knees. Having secured the doors behind, her white-dressed escort gently tugged at her chains and motioned for her to lie her head down on the platform.

At the same time, her executioner came out of leaning on the unseen side of a white pillar. Her executioner's pacing was one far too familiar to the Nameless Assassin. It was almost like...

Before that thought left her head, the all too familiar snapping of a rifle being loaded confirmed her suspicions.

Last Word - Something a little different here, I would like to write small, short stories like those of artifact sets in Dark Souls or Genshin impact. It’s less stressful since I am recovering from frostbite and the cold. I’ll post these in advance somewhat.
