To Kill a Hero

November 30th, Gothic City

Radiant rays of light cast from the ivory moon shone through the weather rafters of the must scented warehouse, casting an eerily complementary glow to Sah Ed Valam's sculpted frame and darkened, ghostly uniform.

Mason's eyes of liquid cerulean were trained on a scruffy, armed set of individuals varying in sizes and appearances, the assassin's gaze exhibiting callous disregard to their evident displeasure towards the bothersome and bitter winds. An ivory bit of paper was tightly clutched in his left hand, its modern format an obvious indicator to having been printed out.

Daang your improving with each piece i see you write

Either way, great piece, man! Can't wait to see Aensland dead this fight!

@keiran_liafador: Thank you :D

Dark Knight is one of my legit alts.

Thanks!
