Right. Today was certainly interesting. Devilstrider, Damon Light, was not used to dealing with these kinds of events. He was street level, gangs, crooks, crime that occured within his neighborhood. He had chosen to come to church and in a matter of minutes he was dealing with several powerful epics. One that seemed to be the personification of an angel, and one who apparently took the roof off houses just to fight a random Freak. He hated that word, that should be noted. 

That wasn't enough of course. The High Island decided to take a hand in things. He didn't take well to people messing with his city. Suddenly Devil being hungry was the least of his problems. He noticed an elederly woman talking to the angel and he almost laughed at her bravery. Guess several powerful epics going at it wasn't such an event to her, really. 

First things first, he pulled at his Aura and infused. Infusion was the best name for it he could think of. His dark red aura became visible and surrounded him. His hair turned dark red and seemed to float, spiky and sharp, his horns grew and so did his tail, his eyes became light red. His mind raced, first thing was first, he seemed to vanish and reappeared next to the elderly woman. 

"I'm sorry," he said to her as he reached out and put a single finger on her forhead. She had no time to react as he drained her energy a bit. Just enough to top himself off. It was painful for her, but not too much so, her face contorted and she looked at him with horror filled eyes. She tasted like a home cooked meal and warm cookies for desert. He wanted more and he felt the violence rise within himself. He fought it down and turned his attention to Guilt, an epic he had very much heard of. 

This situation demanded violence, but it also demanded being smart. He wouldn't have to deal with her, her attention was on, or should be on, the High Epic she had just royally pissed off. So he sped away from the church. Moving at speeds reserved for race cars. 

He found that running away was smart most days. Cowerdly, but when the alternative was fighting an Epic in that sort of situation, your choices were somewhat limited.
