She could feel that a great darkness had descended upon the town. A frenzy of townspeople chattered anxiously amongst themselves, speaking of rumors of a horrible killer that was on the loose. A group of men dressed in armor clattered down one of the dirty streets on their way to the residential district, the same direction where pointing and conversations were directed towards. Her suspicions were confirmed. 

She took large strides that way with her nearly 6 foot tall frame. She had an athletic, sturdy looking body encased within form fitting black fabric underneath an expensive looking white colored breastplate, pauldrons, vambraces, and greaves made out of hardened steel. She had shoulder length blonde hair that had a somewhat spiky feel to it, no effort put into styling it or wearing makeup. She looked quite tough, including her face, although she still retained some femininity about it. At her hip was attached a white colored steel longsword that appeared to be slightly thicker than average, although not to a ridiculous degree. 

This weapon now found it’s way into her armored grip as she advanced the point of interest; the house of the culprit who was the cause of all this commotion. Guards were attempting to form a defensive line around it so that their target would be unable to escape. They appeared to be hesitant to actually advance into the house. From what she heard, something horrible must have happened to the last poor saps to attempt such a feat mere moments ago.

“Ah! Ma’am, it’s a pleasure to have you. We-…ah…I think he’s coming out!” He said, turning his attention to the doorway. The rest of the guards shifted nervously, preparing themselves.

“Let me handle him alone,” she said, stepping forward. She didn’t activate much of her power yet, only a slight glint of light radiating off of her body every once in a while.
