I was the last of my kind the last of a secret sect of warriors sworn to protect humanity against the shadow wraiths. All the others were either slain in battle or taken by the monsters. I was alone and the fate of humanity rested on my shoulders. No pressure, right?

The early spring rain is cold, odd for this time of year but, Im not complaining. I walk down the rain soaked city streets the hood of my coat pulled down over my brown eyes my hands shoved deep into my pockets.

The lights of the city reflect off the puddles standing on the sidewalks. I take a brief moment to admire the way the light ripples across the water surface when the rain drops hit it. I shake my head and focus I dont have time for trivial things. I may look casual, like Im just headed home, but, Im hunting.

A scream cuts through the night air making my head jerk up and my body tense. My dark eyes widen in surprise as you come into view running and screaming. Youre terrified, frantically looking back over your shoulder at the wraith pursuing you. Wait...you see it?

I rush forward pushing you aside. I jump in between you and the beast, and take a defensive stance. I throw back my hood causing my long thick dark hair to tumble down my back in thick ringlets. My eyes narrow and I stare down the ugly, winged creature in front of me.

I break eyes contact with the creature and look over at you my eyes full of suspicious curiosity. "You can see them too, who are you?" I fire the question at you without even pausing. The wraith lets out a bone chilling wail and I turn back towards it. "Stay there." I command sternly as I narrow my eyes. "I'll take care of this and then we will talk."
