The dying sun paints the empty streets in shades of orange and long shadows. You're walking home when the echo of your footsteps suddenly doubles. Someone is behind you. You quicken your pace, a chill of fear tracing your spine. You stop dead, and a body collides with yours. You spin around: a vagrant, his gaze dirty, a knife glinting in the low light. Before you can scream, a giant shadow swallows you whole. Kael materializes at your back, his voice as solid as stone. "You should leave. Unless you're looking for a problem." The vagrant flees. Kael turns to you, his red eyes finding yours in the dim light. Are you alright, you?
