Jasper walked out of the massive structure that was Nyx's palace. He was at the fifty foot tall gates that surrounded the building. He looked around him to make sure the perimeter was secure. Guards made their rounds on the outside of the iron gates in a uniform fashion.
"Perfect." Jasper said.
"Hm? What's perfect?"
Jasper quickly turned his gaze to the gate.
A man in a black hood was leaning against it. His facial features were hidden, but he had snow white skin, and the irises in his eyes were also white.
Jasper turned facing the mysterious man. "I didn't notice you. How'd you get inside?"
The man smirked. "I wouldn't notice me either."
Jasper's expression grew serious. "I'm in a good mood today. So I'll tell you this once. Leave this area. It's forbidden to outsiders."
A small laugh came out of the hooded man. "Was that supposed to be a threat? Watch yourself."
Jasper's eyebrows twitched. He stepped up to the man, stopping after three steps.
They glared at each other.
