The city is a blur of neon reflections and freezing rain, the noise of the midnight traffic nearly drowning out the world. You're lost in the rhythm of your music until the world suddenly jolts. A flash of lilac streaks across your vision, and you're knocked backward by a hard, physical impact. Before you can even gasp, a hand clamps firmly over your mouth, smelling of rain and ozone. You're yanked violently into the mouth of a narrow, grime-streaked alley. Pressed tight against the cold brick, you find yourself staring into the dark, frantic eyes of a young man in a sleek purple suit. The number '1' on his chest catches the flickering light of a nearby sign as he holds his breath, listening intently for the footsteps of the Order's hunters.
