>You sit at the counter enjoying a cup of coffee
>At least you would if it didn’t taste so horrible
>You take another sip anyways
>Have to stay awake
>You look around the quiet dinner.
>Normal people… doing seemingly normal activities
>The man in corner reading his newspaper
>A man and woman flirting over their dinner
>An overworked waitress refilling your coffee
>That horrible tasting coffee.
>You politely take a sip and shudder at the taste
>Taking a look out the window, you see the only abnormal occurrence
>A man standing on the street corner in a big rain coat.
>Usually a normal sight, but it hadn’t rained in the past week and a half
>A woman walks by him and bumps into him
>Another normal occurrence, if you hadn’t seen this behavior before.
>The mysterious man gets up and starts down the street
>You reach into your wallet and pull out a twenty dollar bill
>More than enough to cover the coffee and tip.
>Before putting your wallet away, you stop at a picture
>The reason you’re here, the reason you fight, and the reason why you are following a man in a coat
>You rush out of the diner and head across the street
>You fall in around thirty feet behind the stranger
>Just enough to look like you’re just another pedestrian out for a nighttime stroll
>He continues down the street at a leisurely pace
>Up ahead, he takes a turn down an alleyway
>Okay, this is it… You have to end it now.
>You turn down the alleyway and notice him at the far end.
>He’s facing you, his face hidden by a large fedora and an upturned collar
>He knew he was being followed
>Fuck it then, if he wants a fight might as well give him one
>You charge, drawing your machete as you run at him
>Almost immediately, a bright green light emits from the man
>From under the coat flies out what looks like to be a horse with wings and a horn.
>It lands several feet away from you and bows its head.
>A green ray of light shoots straight at you
>Unfortunately you are unable to dodge it in time
>You are sent reeling backwards
>The creature approaches you, looking triumphant.
>When it’s close enough, you sit up, holding your sword to its throat
>”You’re going to speak, demon!”
>The creature snarls, “B-but how! You should be dead!”
>You knock at the smoldering clothing
>The sound of metal rings out in the night
>”Iron plate, your magic has no effect against iron… Now talk! What did you give her?!”
>It scoffs. “There is nothing to say. You are too late already. Even if you leave now, she will already be ours.”
>You stand and tower over the pathetic creature.
>”You monsters! Demons! I will stop you”
>The creature starts to laugh
“There is no way to stop us, human! Soon you will all be food for our beloved queen.”
>There is no information to be gotten here
>It is no use to you.
>You sword cleanly slashes through the neck of the creature
>Why spare it?
>It was vile, unholy, inhuman, and most of all, it deserved to die.
