It was a seemingly normal night in Sarayashiki. A cool breeze was blowing into the town, the trees swaying as it goes. All seemed silent as the residents slept peacefully and safely in their warm beds in their homes.
Somewhere in Sarayashiki there stood a lone figure on top of a building dressed in nothing but black. The hood that they wore completely hid their face from view, only catching a glimpse if their neck, which a lay a black choker with a multicolored jewel in the middle of it. The figure that stood atop the building looked down at the city, watching the few stragglers in the night walk to wherever their destiiation is set for them.

I sigh knowing that these questions will never be answered. I slowly reach into my pocket and begin to feel the cold metal of a small stick-like device. I grasp it and completely take it out of my pocket, my thumb rubbing over the button of the device. I whisper into the night air, looking up towards the full moon, "It's time...". I press the button of the device and an immediate bang is heard from the building. Smoke begins to rise up from the fire that was caused from the explosion. I continue to stay on top of the building, still basking in the beautiful moonlight. I summon a scythe into my hand and slice through the air, creating a portal for my destination. I walk through it without looking back at the destruction I caused, the lives I took. It was always the same thing...
