Prologue
He lost something once.
He lost someone.
She went away in a burst of light.
She had been trying to stop him. She had been trying to save him from himself and from his anger. He heard her yelling his name, but he was too fixated on getting his revenge. He wanted revenge and it cost him her life. It cost him twelve years.
He knew what was going to happen a moment before it did.
She was across the street and running toward him, her ginger hair flying in the wind.
He blinked and the street exploded. The night was filled with the booms and bangs of explosion. She was gone.
Disappearing into the sky as she was exploded into little pieces. Exploded beyond recognition.
Not even her little finger remained.
