Andrew breathed slowly. The first life on Earth he had taken was that of a child. It seemed very surreal, as if this was a bad dream and he could just wake up and go to the grocery store like he intended, and keep on having a normal life. He heard a shuffling in the alley near him.
"No..." a small voice said, weak and almost lifeless.the source being a young boy of similar age with a pair of cracked glasses on his face. The seal on his arm was low, so he was desperate. The boy stumbled over to the crumpled body of the one Andrew had just killed. Andrew just stood there. He had no idea how to handle the situation. Before he could walk away, the boy spoke again, turning to Andrew.
"Murderer..." he muttered, voice laced with hatred. Andrew's skin tingled, and a shiver went down his spine in anticipation.
"You...killed him..." he said, his voice louder this time. "You killed my brother! I'll kill you!" A burst of energy from the boy's body threw Andrew off balance and falling on his side. A vortex of white energy had surrounded the boy's body. With palm extended, a ball of wind and energies formed, and with great ferocity, the boy threw it towards him. Anticipating the attack, Andrew crossed his arms and constructed a kinetic barrier. But then there was nothing. The landscape had vanished into a white... endlessness. There were three other people, each of them with full seals. Andrew prepared to make a barrier, but a voice told him to stop. He listened as the voice, Rai, explained their problem and how these people, apparently named Carson, Aria, and Spencer, were in the same situation. When the deal was proposed, Andrew firmly nodded. He'd be happy to help if he could prevent himself from killing more people.
