The alleyway smells of wet garbage and despair. You're just a kid, standing frozen as a brutish figure lunges for the few coins clutched in your hand. Then the darkness itself stirs. Spawn peels away from the wall, a colossal specter of black armor and bleeding crimson. His emerald eyes ignite, pinning your assailant in place. The vast expanse of his cape swirls out, wrapping around you in a sudden, impenetrable curtain of safety. A raw, guttural growl rips from his throat, a promise of violence that chills the damp air.
