John had a simple message today, all he had to do was deliver a message. In and out, done. The difference of course was the location. The Order of Shadows, Zed himself. He had no clue of course what the message was but it must have been important enough. Due to the long trip he decided to take a horse there, being so far north, least the sights were interesting.
Today, he decided to wear Ionian attire. He realized it was actually kinda nice once you got used to it. No weapons or equipment though, only thing he had on hand was a canteen and the message. Speaking of the canteen, he was a bit thirsty. His hand reached over and grabbed said canteen, taking it out of his pouch that was strapped around his shoulder. He popped the cap open and took a quick drink as his horse continued along the path. He wondered if they expected anyone today... Wait would that require another messenger to let them know? ...And then another messenger.. No that wouldn't work. So they probably didn't expect visitors today.
He capped his canteen and put it back into the pouch as his horse did the work for him of trudging along forward.

The moment he had stepped into the province where Zed's ninjas resided, he had been watched for a good ten minutes, from the tree tops a single ninja observed the traveler without a sound determining just who he was and what his purpose was. He didn't have any visible weapons or armor, quickly deciding that he was no threat, the ninja would slip back away into the tree tops. Eyes surveying the road for any possible threats.
The traveler would find himself free to move about the province with no intervention from the ninjas until he began to travel in the direction of the Temple.
Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes. Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia flows.
The traveling continued... John's mind wandered until he came up to a turn. Right... If he remembered, this was where he wanted to turn and it should take him to the Temple. Finally... He guided the horse towards said road. This might be when he'd hit some kind of checkpoint or anything. Should be easy, just explain to anyone the message and who it's from. The fun part would be the trip back. God knows he wouldn't mind a faster way of travel at times. Still an interesting thought, a man from Piltover, an advanced city-state, who now seemed to be acclimating to a more traditional city-state. He smirked at the thought and trudged onwards.

Like a ghost a black figure would appear silently behind the traveler as he approached the steps to the Temple of Shadows, had he been carrying weapons or armor he would have been stopped and/or killed long before now. The figure's face was completely shrouded behind a material that left a near pitch black shadow, obscuring it from view leaving only the eyes visible, "Restricted territory, traveler." The voice sounded quietly, "State your business or be on your way... Lethal force will be used to subdue you should you defy us."
At the word 'us' two more shadow ninja appeared behind the first, looking to simply step out from its shadow.
Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes. Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia flows.
John pulled the reigns on his horse, slowing and stopping it as the voice spoke from behind him. Definitely been spotted now. His head slowly turned to gaze at the man speaking. Creepy... He replied in a calm manner.
"I'm delivering a message to Zed from Captain Lito herself."
Now the question was, would he hand the message to these men or deliver it to the Master of Shadows himself. Guess he'd find out soon enough

The lead ninja presented his palm to the traveling messenger, the claws on the tips of his fingers glinting slightly against the black cloth that shrouded his form, the figures visibly relaxed somewhat as they realized the would not have to fight, clearly they were no expert ninjas. Nonetheless, the clawed ninjas spoke once more, "Give the letter to me, I will pass on the message and return with a reply... If there is one."
Should the letter be passed to the ninja he would simply fade into nothing while the other two watched the traveler carefully.

John nodded and slowly reached into his pocket, his other hand always in clear sight in an attempt to show his good intentions. He slowly pulled out the envelope and leaned over, handing the envelope to the ninja.
"Alrighty."
He'd roll his shoulders and relax a bit as he waited for the possible reply. Quick and easy, then he could get busy on that workshop, sooner he had that finished the better.

This letter is destined to the head of Order of Shadows, Zed.
I, Captain of the Ionian Guard, hereby requests your presence if possible at the institute of war. I wish to see you alone in person to speak of certain things that I can not mention here. This is a friendly request and it may lead us to decisions that will benefit not only you and I, but the people we represent and Ionia as a whole.

The ninja's deliverance of the letter and return was swift, through trees the shadowy figure flitted like a ghost. Not a sound was made as he done so, he had no idea who the letter was from, but he had no want to disappoint the Master of Shadows. Twenty minutes moving as fast as he could and he reached the great gates of the temple, another five and Zed had the letter. His crimson gaze moving over it with suspicion as he read the the words, his eyes narrowed... He was no fool and could see the potential meeting with her could have. But he doubted anything of use would come from the meeting, nonetheless, his response was swift.
A plain envelop was passed to the ninja who had initially given Irelia's message to Zed, a single white wax seal imprinted upon it.
With that, the ninja was gone, his form looking to simply fade from sight. Again he now dashed through the forests of the Island, the letter nestled against his right breast. Soon simply appearing within sight of John and the other two ninja, "For your captain." He stated and held the envelop out toward the messenger. Once it was taken, the ninjas would fade into nothingness, their presence unable to be felt any longer.
Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes. Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia flows.
He slowly turned the horse around, now for the journey back to the Placidium. Faster he gets home the better. A grin formed as the horse trotted along the path. He pocketed the message for now and continued once again onwards.
