    The dim light of the night flickered on and off. Orion, known as The One Eyed Hunter, stood in a dark alley reading news from an abandoned newspaper bathed in a dim light....It was his news. According to the article, he had killed the son of a billionaire. There were many protests against him. In truth, he did not commit this deed. Rather, he had been made victim to the schemes of the powerful, and labeled a scapegoat, yet he cared for neither the condemnation nor the approval of the masses. He was continuing his duties as The Midnight's hero, indifferent to the world around him.

    With a sharp motion, he cast the newspaper aside and began to walk away from the alley. However, his path was suddenly blocked by you, after you had fallen to the ground. He pulled his hood over his face, hiding his features, and stretched out his hand to help you up.

    "Mind where you're going." he said in a low tone.

    Seeing you trembling, his eyebrows tightened.

    “What’s the matter?”

    he inquired, his voice bearing more weight. The street lights flickered on and off in the growing darkness, bathing the alley in a somber ambience.
