Under Luna's Moon

Prologue

So yeah, this is my first fanfic. It is bad. really bad. You have been warned


As Simon walked through the busy streets of Glasgow towards Govan Station he silently fumed. He hated this place. He hated the never ending rain, the dull grey sky and ever-present smell of fast food. There were, however, two things he hated more than anything else combined.

The first was his university. Or rather his former university, before he was rudely kicked out without any real excuse, simply that they needed to "cut back on costs". He had been doing work on some ground breaking research to do with wave power at the University of Strathclyde but his entire department had been cut back and he had been told to leave. They were even taking away the free flat he had been given with the scholarship and he had only a week to move out.

And that is where the other most hated thing in his life came in. His girlfriend. Or rather his ex, as of twenty minutes ago. When he had been told he had to move out he had gone straight to her to ask if he could stay with her for the time being, to which she had replied "No, man. Stop being so clingy! We are soooo over."

This wasn't the first time she had said this and Simon new that if he came crawling back to her in the morning she would accept him again, simply so she could have someone to control. And that just pissed him off all the more. For once he wished he could just have the courage to leave her. But he knew he wouldn't.

So that's why he was walking towards the station, through the busy street and the Scottish drizzle. He walked up to the ticked booth and ordered a ticket. The one good thing about the Glasgow underground was that it was a fixed rate ticket for anywhere, meaning that Simon could just sit on the train as it went on its circular journey, lost in the crowd and alone in his thoughts. He had developed this method of coping back when he was 14 and he was plunged into the world of social care by his parent's deaths. He had once attempted to stay on the train all night, not wanting to go back to the care home. The underground staff had to call the police before he had agreed to leave.

Waiting on the platform Simon considered who would miss him if he simply jumped under the oncoming train. He had no family, he had long since severed ties with anyone from his life in the care home and he couldn't see his ex caring. As he entered the packed train and sat at the only seat available, he muttered to himself "I wish I could just leave this world behind."

The man next to Simon chuckled. He was a very tall man with grey hair and goatee. He wore a business like suit and a strange cane rested against his leg. It had intricate carvings on it and the handle was in the shape of a horse's head with mismatched horns and one very large tooth that stuck out from between his lips.

As the train set off and went into the tunnel Simon heard the man next to him sigh "Sweet chaos" before his whole world went black.
