Prelude: In the eyes of the beholder.
The moon showed bright in the starless sky. A young man smiled softly at a dark shadow that moved quickly down the soulless streets of London.
"AHHH!" He heard a woman scream in terror a few blocks over.
The boy quickly turned his head in the direction of the scream and quickly leapt from his perch at inhuman speed. He began skipping across the dark buildings in the dead of night. With a bright contrast to all the darkness his hair seemed to glow white as the moon illuminated it.
"HELP!" the woman yelled again as the young man grabbed onto the side of a building to stop himself. The man looked over his new perch and spotted the shadow once again. It had grown thicker now and seemed to be moving slowly towards the young lady. In a swift motion large tentacles sprouted out of the blob along with a large mouth that was filled with sharp teeth and a long slimy tongue.
"As tempting as it is the see how this goes…" The young man said with a grin before jumping off the building and landing with a crash in between the monster and its victim.
"Hi there sweetheart." He said to the young woman, tipping his head completely ignoring the creature behind him.
"W-Who are you?" she stammered but it quickly turned into another shriek of terror as the large blob opened its wide mouth as it did so, small specks of black saliva showered the young man and woman.
"….You see that's just plain rude." The boy said blankly while he turned around to face the monster.
"I know you…." The monster said, droll still spilling from his mouth and onto the floor. "You're that human boy who has been going around taking out the small fries. Yeah… what did they call you?"
The young man smiled sarcastically before holding out his left hand to the monster. "My name is Sir Alistor Fairknight of Royal Order of Kiss my ass." He said before a bright blue light shot out from his hand and collided with the blob, causing it to splatter all over the alley and the two people in it.
