[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 2975297, member: 16166"] [CENTER][B]PROLOGUE[/B][/CENTER] The clouds gathered thick in the sky far above the sprawling urban hub of Metropolis, releasing freezing rain into the streets that swiftly gathered in pools or streamed through the alleyways towards the flood-canals that snaked through the suburbs. Thousands of homeless scattered to collect their worthless belongings, fleeing to higher ground so they would not be washed into the underbelly of the city. Staring down into the throngs of homeless, a dark figure peered through the thick wrappings that covered his face from the freezing wind of the night. His hand grasped tightly at the blade at his side, he felt little pleasure in his job, but it was better that these people die by his hand than what Fate had in store for them. A shadow dropped silently into the street and calmly walked through the crowds, reaching out only occassionally to touch one with his heavily gloved hand and cause them to fall in their tracks, their deaths were quick. The rest of this city might only be so lucky. [/QUOTE]
