[center][color=lightsteelblue][h1]Wachter Scmied The Prince of Iron[/h1][/color][/center] Wachter stood in the open doorway of his house's back door. He removed his coal-stained apron and put on his jacket. He sat down as he pulled up his shoes, and switched them out with his work boots. He stood up, and turned back one more time as he called '[color=lightsteelblue]Bye Father, I'm heading out for a stroll.[/color]' He waited a moment to hear his fathers affirmitive grunt, before he stepped onto the moonlight street below, shutting the door behind him. Wachter made sure he walked a good two blocks from his house, before he transformed. A white glowing circle appeared beneath him. His entire body was transformed into an entire silhouette of light. When it faded, his clothes shifted from a worn jacket and stained pants to gleaming iron armor. He took a step back, and pulled his divine blade Eisen from the center of the circle, before it faded. [i]Crap,[/i] he thought. [i]That was bound to ring the dinner bell for a few straggling shadows[/i]. He clutched his blade as he marched down the street. He had no idea exactly where any hotspots were in this city for shadows tonight, until he stepped off his street. He detected a large battle not too far away, but there were already a few princes there. There was a civilian, but judging by how he felt him and another Cosmic Prince moving away at a fast speed, he wasn't needed there. No, instead, he felt something faint, yet equally dreadful, near the outskirts. Once he left his street, he began jogging. A pathetic sight among other princes, he knew, but he couldn't sprint and become a winded meal for whatever Shadows were doing [i]god knows what[/i]. As Wachter ran through a crosswalk, he grabbed a map and opened it. The energy signature was coming from... [i]The city's SDF base[/i]. What would Witches, much less Shadows, need with Ammo and Firearms? He didn't know what they were planning, but he knew it would endanger people. He reached the base in half an hour. He visually struggled as he climbed over the high concrete wall, and hit the ground on the other side with a loud thud. He stood up and brushed himself off. Already, he saw dozens of men running in panic on the grounds as shadows spilled from the largest building, some of which chased behind them. Wachter held his sword up high, as white energy enveloped it. Right before the first Shadow was in arms reach of him, he unleashed it, killing it and several of the shadows behind it. The signature was strongest in the building they came from, meaning either a Witch or her Familiar was inside there. He found the dragon's lair, now he had to slay it. [@Baklava]
