I am going to write in this notebook, so that if anything happens to us Mother will be able to find the book and know what we were doing. This has a spell on it that will enable Mother to find it.
I do not need to say my name, but I may as well. It is Glory Sunsmith, and I'm a assassin. My twin brother and I do most assignments together, using our powers. For all of our life we have been training for one mission, and the date on which we will perform it is fast approaching. We were born with powers, my brother, Legend, and I. We are both good-looking, and have long blonde hair and golden eyes, with tan skin. Our Mother is very important to us. She has raised us alone, having fled with the dead body of our Father from the ruins of their home. We have been trained our entire life, trained to use our powers, trained to battle with swords, trained to be stealthy, trained to take no notice of pain. We are perfect killing machines. At age ten we began our career, earning money by taking out marks for Ruyht, a wealthy lord. We have never failed him, and have never been detected when on a mission. Now we are eighteen, to be nineteen tomorrow. Tomorrow. The day when we will leave.
Our powers are strong. They are tied to the Sun, growing when she is in the sky, lessening when night comes. We both wear a necklace, necklaces that our Father made for us when he found out that Mother was expecting. He never got to give them to us, but Mother took them when she fled, and gave them to us. They are our most precious belongings. Mine is a Sun of pure gold, strung on a tough leather cord. My brother's is the same. They glow when we use our powers, and we may store energy within them.
We both are shorter than most people, I'm about a half-inch shorter than most women, and Legend is about a half-inch shorter than most men. Also, we are more sturdily built. There is not an ounce of surplus flesh of either of us, and we are both very strong.
