Even the first lesson can be lethal

Burke watched the female approach him. He kept his usual calm glance until she was before him. Slowly he frowned lightly. "In trouble?," he questioned. "No, you are not," he stated afterwards. He wasn't going to be cruel and pester her. He wanted to get on with this lesson to see what she was made of. The large tank of a male got to his feet. "You are here for you first lesson to become an assassin, and a Dark Sister. You will get three lessons and two quests. After that you will kill another wolf. If you did those six things you are a dark sister and a member of the brotherhood," he explained.

Burke walked a circle around her to study her from all sides. The big brute indicated she was lighter and thus faster. It wasn't a accomplishment to be faster than him since he was just a bit slower than the normal wolf even. Not that it mattered he had his own techniques for that. "Your first lesson will be physical. So tell me what you have learned so far. You had a warrior training, so you said, tell me what you learned so I don't have to repeat things for you."
