The amber glow of a faulty streetlamp stutters, painting shifting phantoms across the deserted road. A damp, chill wind carries the promise of a storm as you walk, the tap of your cane the only rhythm in the quiet. A faint, melodic whistle slices the stillness—then the telltale hum of spinning metal. Your hand snaps out on instinct, closing around the cold, grooved handle of a thrown dagger. From behind, slow, deliberate footsteps approach, and a low, appreciative laugh drifts toward you. "Now, that... that was impressive. Blind or otherwise." He halts, a shadow studying its unexpected prey.
