Breaking and entering
It had taken Lian a few days to get there, but she'd made it to the League of Assassins headquarters. Several flights later, after staying in a cheap hotel, she'd made the trek through the Arabian desert, traveling light, taking only her bow and knives, but carrying just enough food and water to where she wouldn't starve to death or die of thirst.

That and the headquarters for the League of Assassins, wasn't exactly the easy place to find. You had to know where to look.

Luckily, there's a perk in having a parent for a member.

Lian made her way to the entrance, making sure to stay hidden.

In the desert, even the sands have eyes, and those eyes have spotted Lian Harper during her trek. Few would dare to come out this far unless they know the location of this lair, and those who do come this far must be silenced if they are not of the League.

The entrance opens, and a party of men ride out on horseback, dressed in the colors of the desert sands.

The door remains open for a moment, but begins to slowly close.

	Lian waited for the men to pass by her, before running through the door, her bow drawn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Two ninja just inside the door see her, draw their swords, and lunge to the attack! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian fired a pair of taser arrows at the ninjas, dodging quickly to the side to avoid attack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The pair of ninja fall loudly. Lian will find that she is in a long hallway that seems to be hewn from rock, likely the entrance to a cave. The path continues down for several yards, and Lian will quickly smell the stables where the horses are kept. Voices can be heard, but so far, they do not sound as if they are aware of the other ninja falling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lian knocked another arrow in her bow. She made her way down the hallway, as quietly as she could, keeping her eyes peeled for any traps or more ninjas.

When she reached the stables, Lian pulled out a hollow tube and several small darts. The darts where laced with a sedative that would knock out anyone they pricked for several hours at the most. She peeked around the corner, keeping out of sight. She exhaled hard, aiming a dart for the neck of each person in the room.

	Both stableboys are hit in the neck with the darts and fall unconscious instantly, having no defense against toxins. The horses fuss somewhat, but ultimately continue on with their lives. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Morgaine caught sight of Lian on the security cameras. Grabbing her swords, she went to inform her brother of the intruder. "It would appear we have an unwanted guest, brother," Morgaine said, "Shall I make quick work of her?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Fine," Morgaine snarled, following her brother. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"Fuck," Lian swore under her breath, as the alarm went off. So much for getting in unnoticed. She grabbed a sword that had been discarded by one of the ninjas. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Lian wordlessly jumped off the catwalk, sword in hand, landing in a crouch in front of Damien. "Fine," she said, standing to her full height. "Let's go, then." You better think fast Harper, or you're going to be in a shallow grave in the desert. She'd come this far. She couldn't screw it up now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She is beautiful. Damien is captivated by this woman's features, and something about her is vaguely family, though he doesn't know what. His eyes narrow as he watches her stand. "Do you wish to tell us why you have sought death here, of all places? Or your name?" he asks, raising his sword above his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damn. The League of Assassins certainly traded up from Ra's al Ghul. "I wish to join the League of Assassins," Lian said, her own sword at the ready. "My name is Lian Harper. I am the daughter of the assassin known as Cheshire, Jade Nyugen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Later on that evening, Lian met Damien in his private quarters for dinner. Having not know what to wear, she'd borrowed a black dress from Morgaine...who didn't seem to thrilled with her, to be honest. But that was neither here nor there. She knocked on Damien's door. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Thank you, Damien," Lian said, "I am glad that it meets your approval." Lian took a seat. She waited for Damien to take a seat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once she sits down, he will do so as well. Shortly, a servant arrives to pour two glasses of red wine. Meanwhile, Damien has not taken his eyes off of Lian. "Are your accommodations agreeable?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They are," Lian said, taking a sip of her wine, "Very roomy, thank you." "This wine is exquisite, by the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
