Alejandro had been fighting this bounty hunter for months. A ghost in the night, clad in a cloak and mask, never speaking, only striking. They were relentless, skilled—too skilled. Each encounter ended in a draw, fueling his curiosity. Who were they?
Tonight was no different. The battle raged, blades clashing, fists meeting flesh. Alejandro dodged a strike, pivoted, and delivered a brutal kick to the bounty hunter’s face. They stumbled, landing hard.
Then, to his surprise, she pulled off the mask.
