This is just a fanfic about what it would be like if Skulduggery was the bad guy, and Valkyrie was sent to take him down. This is set as if Valkyrie and Skulduggery have never met but Valkyrie still works for the Sanctuary. It is set around the time of The Faceless Ones.
Skulduggery glanced back into the alley where the mage lay incenerated. Skulduggery flicked the dust off his black suit.
Killing. I don't know why I never did it before. He thought as he turned a corner into the crowded streets of Dublin City.
How many is it now? He asked himself. Ten? Twelve? Fifteen? I've lost count.
A sudden gust of wind nearly blew the fedora from his head when he lost concentration and stopped manipulating the air around it, but he managed to get a hold of it.
He glanced at t he rooftops of the buildings that he passed, on the lookout for Cain, the Sanctuary agent after him.
The Sanctuary's fourth most wanted. Not to bad. And killing a Teleporter. That should put me in the top three. Skulduggery thought smugly to himself.
Maybe I'll kill a Necromancer or a Shape-Shifter next. Might even get the top spot.
Skulduggery suddenly stopped. He saw something black move on one of the rooftops.
Cain had found him.
Skulduggery cracked his knuckled.
I love a bit of sport.
Well I hope you enjoyed that. I'll have the next chapter up soon.
In the meantime, please review.
