Malicious Intent

Sasha barely survived the brutal ambush attack of a rogue thief late night on the beach of her island home. Her twin sister was not so lucky. Heart and body broken, Sasha took the only option she felt she could: to wait only long enough to heal before she headed to the Mainland to train as a Mercenary and hunt down the man who murdered her sister.

But Sasha had not accounted on the sheer size of the Mainland, nor how quickly a single person could vanish into its interior, perhaps lost forever. She also quickly learned to trust no one, to shield herself in more than just her leather armor, and to shoot first and clean up the answers later. A formidable woman, she still had to constantly defend her right to wear her Mercenary’s badge, to prove her capabilities, and to defend her body in any situation. She became very good at more than just her employment.

As the years passed however, Sasha began to realize that fulfilling her vengeance was going to be more difficult than she had expected, and while the bounties piled up, she became increasingly aware that she may never find the man who so callously slaughtered her twin and that her justice may never be served at the end of her blade. The life of a solitary Mercenary wandering the Mainland from one bounty to the next was often lonely and generally tediously, wretchedly dull between bouts of intense life-and-death excitement. But only her own pending death would stop her from taking down the next rogue on her ever-present drive to fulfill not just her vengeance, but her very fate.
