Finally.
Standing right in front of him, there it was. Almost a year had been spent following cold leads and glimpses of art, tracking and chasing what seemed like a ghost's footsteps. Slowly but surely he had closed in, and now it was finally the time.
One.
His fingers caught the cold of the magic-imbued metal. The full white moon held the promise of a deadly night, and he couldn't have wished for a more perfect stage. Calmly, as to not make his presence known, he took aim. What his eyes registered, was no ordinary creature, a figure standing ever so beautifully before him. Jhin took a deep breath.
Two.
Ah, on the contrary. Such presence could only be nobly held by an artist, much like himself. Someone with tales and rumors that only the sickest of minds could fathom, for their sins were way past those of an ordinary soul.
Three.
Enveloped by the moonlight, serene and pale, a stark contrast to his shadowy figure hidden behind the thick of the trees; their hearts, one singing a steady song while the other waltzed to the excitement. What a wonderful display of blood and colors this would be.
Just a little higher.
The stage was set. With surgical precision he targeted the barely heaving chest, now only moments away from its almost tragic - but indubitably dramatic - demise.
Four.
And this, would be her curtain call.
A.N.: Welcome everyone! I'm here just for a little announcement. Given that my final exams are nearing, I decided to rewrite the released chapters and make a few changes (I know, it's definitely more helpful than studying). Originally, I wanted them to be short and objective - like bullets being fired, but this approach wasn't nearly close to being what I wanted to be.
Even though I use a different style when writing in English, the fancy demon inside me won the battle so I'll be keeping these chapters short (how they were meant to be from the beginning) while altering their content.
Oh well, I'll be back to posting new ones after I finish my hellish exams. Thank you for reading this story, I was absolutely sure I had been writing to ghosts, haha!
