Mitsume felt a shudder crawl up his back. The voice that had spoken could not possibly have been human.
The young bounty hunter crept further toward the strange, dark being. He was certain that it had been addressing him, but decided that he wanted to stay as far from sight as possible.
As he got closer, Mitsume could see more detail of the strange being who had spoken to him. Although its face was still hidden in the shadows, Mitsume could see that it was a male, wearing a long, dark trenchcoat and standing there, as still as a statue. The rest of the figure was illuminated in the blue flame, and the young bounty hunter could see how pale the skin was that was not covered by black material. The figure's body was tall and slender, and its hands sat at its sides as though it was not quite sure what to do with them.
Mitsume sat, huddled behind the brick wall. The rain had continued to fall, soaking him through. He sat there for a moment, trying to catch a glimpse of the figure's face. He couldn't know if he was any match for the dark being at all, and was unsure whether he should run away, ask the figure for help, or attack it. He craned his neck, peering out again at the blue flame.
This time, the figure shadowy head swerved in him direction, and Mitsume could see movement as it spoke.
"I told you to come forth. Now come!"
Mitsume sat there for a moment, unsure how to respond. Then his pride got the better of him, and he stood, facing the figure. "No one gives me orders. Just who the hell are you?"
The figure stood, unmoving and silent. Mitsume shifted uncomfortably. Then his sharp eyes picked out movement from beneath the figure's dark cloak, and the young bounty hunter could see the rain and blue firelight glinting off of a blade.
Mitsume growled and leapt forth, pulling out his own switchblade. He sprang high into the air over the figure's head, grasping the blade between his fingers and preparing to bring it down.
Suddenly, a blue light erupted from the strange being's hand. A large blue sphere, tingling with magical electricity surrounded Mitsume's target, humming with power. The hunter's eyes widened, and he tried to turn, and pull himself to the side, but he was too close.
Mitsume fell on top of the sphere, and instantly his body was flooded by a numbing pain. He looked down, and for a nanosecond, could finally see the being's face. It was as if time slowed down. Mitsume picked out all of the features, from the being's dark golden hair, to its piercing blue eyes. And the large white wings that spread behind it.
Mitsume stared at the angel, enraptured, before finally falling to the ground, unconcious.
