Of Knives and Night-blooms

"Never speak the name of the Black Raven aloud. Never fail your sacred duty. Never trust magic. And never travel on the River Divine."CALYX: Didn't mean to bind 3 assassins to her eternal magical servitude, but leaning into it. Has places to be, and a daughter to protect. IKAROS: Priest of death. Hates this river. Hates boats. Hates that Calyx's magic means he can't kill her. Abandoned by his god.
Having a bad week. DIO: Not even supposed to be here, but kind of into it. Surrounded by hot assassins. Having a great week. VALERIA: Priest of death. Ageless, deadly, better than all of you. Can kill with a shoe but it probably won't come to that because she is carrying all the knives. MARDI: Priest of death. Pregnant. Dangerous. Too good for this. One day away from retirement. REYNARD KALDORAN: Going to kill every last one of you.
THE RIVER DIVINE: Hold my beer.
