It was late; past midnight, in fact. The peaceful city of Bella-Vel and its residents had fallen asleep…
"P-Please have mercy, sir! I don't know what you're talking about!" said a disheveled man in a ragged voice. He looked paler than a corpse as he begged on his knees to be spared.
Aside from a certain ghost.
"We'll see about that, won't we?" said the indescribable shadow as it stepped towards the kneeling man. It'd chased the man into an empty, abandoned alley far removed from sight.
The trembling man continued to beg for mercy as tried his damnedest to persuade the shadow into letting him leave. He'd give the monster anything it desired as long as it'd spare him.
