In ancient India, Ruishi City stood on a mysterious and vibrant land. This small village was surrounded by various myths, legends, and rumors, and people believed it to be a gathering point for cosmic energy, where an indescribable mysterious power converged. It is said that Shiva and his wife Parvati chose to establish their abode of love on this land. Shiva, the deity of creation and destruction, performs a breathtaking celestial dance here on every full moon night. Each dance step seems to shape and reshape the universe, as if his dance is the turning of destiny.
At the center of Ruishi City lies a lake named "Tears of Shiva", with an even more remarkable legend. It is said that every tear shed from Shiva's eyes becomes a part of this lake. The water of the lake is so clear and transparent, as if it can reflect the brilliance and depth of the entire universe. Some even say that the reflection in the lake is not just the sky and trees, but a miniature version of the entire universe.
In the deepest part of the lake, there is a small and exquisite temple, surrounded by white roses and blue hyacinths. These flowers are not ordinary flowers, but sacred flowers transformed from the essence of the love between Shiva and Parvati. They add an indescribable sacred atmosphere to the temple.
At the center of the temple is a huge stone slab, its surface deeply engraved with various mysterious runes and spells of Shiva's trident. This stone slab is not only the key to the laws of the universe and the secrets of life, but also a mysterious relic fiercely guarded by the Assassin Brotherhood. Only those who are deeply versed in the doctrines of Brahminism and Hinduism, and have undergone years of practice and study, have the possibility of interpreting these ancient and complex runes. Once successfully interpreted, they can activate the powerful force hidden within the stone slab, a force capable of changing and even controlling the entire universe.
Ruishi City is hidden in a remote mountain valley, surrounded by dense forests and towering mountains. It is like a tranquil ink painting, where mountains, water, trees, and simple houses coexist harmoniously. At the entrance of the village stands a small yet exquisite statue of Lord Shiva, symbolizing that this is a place under the protection of Lord Shiva.
The houses are mainly in earthy yellow and wood brown tones, mostly built with adobe bricks and wood, with roofs covered in thatch or tiles. Almost every household has its own small garden or vegetable field in the front or back of the house, and the air is always filled with the natural fragrance of soil and flowers. A clear, shallow stream meanders through the village, providing the necessary water source for the villagers and also a good place for children to play.
Although Ruishi City appears peaceful on the surface, there is an underlying tension that is not easily noticeable. In what seems like an ordinary pharmacy, the elders of the Assassin Brotherhood are plotting various actions. They always hold meetings in the back of the shop or in the basement, selling herbs and healing potions on one hand, and serving as the command center for planning assassinations and protecting the village on the other.
Ordinary villagers are unaware of all this; they only know the owner of the pharmacy as an elderly man skilled in making potions, who often provides free medical services. But whenever night falls, or when an external threat approaches, one can always see people dressed in ordinary clothes but with unusually sharp eyes emerging from the pharmacy, venturing into the mountains or heading towards distant cities to fulfill their missions.
Ruishi City is not just a self-sufficient, harmonious community, but also a sacred place protected by an invisible hand. In this place surrounded by nature and faith, everyone has their role and mission, whether it's visible or hidden.
On the streets of Ruishi City, several children are chasing a colorful butterfly, their laughter echoing among the ancient stone houses and leaves. They are dressed in simple cotton clothes, wearing colorful headscarves, and waving small wooden sticks to drive away the lazy cattle passing by.
Shiva and his mentor Kundalin were walking on the street with several other assassin apprentices. Shiva was dressed in his black assassin's outfit, wearing a typical Indian turban on his head. His eyes occasionally glanced at the street vendors selling various flowers and spices, with the air filled with rich aromas.
"Observe, Shiva. Observation is one of the most important skills for an assassin," Kundalin said in his hoarse and experienced voice. He was dressed in ancient assassin gear, with a full beard giving him a calm and serious demeanor.
"Yes, mentor," Shiva nodded. He knew that whether infiltrating enemy castles or understanding a person, observation was indispensable.
Accompanying them were two assassin apprentices, Maya and Kara. Maya was a cheerful girl, dressed in green gear, happily interacting with street vendors. Kara, on the other hand, was a quiet young man in gray gear, his gaze often lingering in the direction of a distant lake and a small shrine.
The harmonious and tranquil atmosphere warmed Shiva's heart. He knew that all of this was the result of him and his brothers and sisters protecting. They passed by a small candy stall, and the children ran over, surrounding them, curiously watching this group of people in strange costumes.
"These children are our future hope, and they are the reason why we must protect this village and the mysterious stone tablet," Kundalin smiled and said to Shiva.
Shiva looked at these innocent faces and knew that Kundalin was right. He made a firm decision in his heart that no matter what difficulties or enemies he faced, he would use everything he had learned to protect this land and the people living here.
"I understand, mentor," Shiva said earnestly. He knew that as a member of the Assassin Brotherhood, he possessed not only skills and weapons, but more importantly, a heart willing to fight for the greater good.
