I gazed into the dark mirror, the room I was in too dark to make anything out, just how I liked it. I concentrated, and shifted my indistinct features to the face I now called my own … my mask. Bright green hair cut in a rock star style, purple eyeliner and lipstick, my eyes bright green, almost neon. Someone that stands out in a crowd, someone notable, someone who everyone remembers. I slipped into a purple leather jacket and stepped outside my small apartment, moving to lock the door, I realized that there was a piece of paper taped to the lock. I plucked it off, locking the door with my other hand. It said, Come to the East Dock at midnight, tell no one. Now, most people would NOT go to a random place at midnight without telling anyone, but I was curious, and I had nothing else to do. I checked the back where it said in capital letters, CHEN'S TOURNAMENT OF ELEMENTS. Well, that sounded promising, a tournament always has a prize at the end, so I decided to go to this "tournament".
When it was nearly midnight, I shifted my features to an indistinct, forgettable, face that no one would notice or give a second thought. Even though I hated using my powers for that, I had to make sure no one followed me. When I arrived at the East Dock, I was mildly surprised that the dock was full of people, but you need lots of people for a tournament. I slipped into the crowd, nobody noticing my arrival, and waited silently for what was coming next. Nobody made conversation, it was as quiet as it was when no one was here. After a while, voices broke through the crowd, a group of four guys dressed as … ninjas? I wasn't sure, but I don't think they noticed that the rest of the crowd was silent. After a while, a medium-sized boat pulled up by the docks. People started lining up to get on and I joined in. As the crowd slowly moved up to the plank connecting the boat to the dock, a couple of thugs with purple tattoos and an elegantly dressed man with a black ponytail and sunken eyes searched us for weapons. I stepped onto the boat after much waiting, and gaped at what I saw.
