After a whole day of fighting, it turned calm as soon as the sun hid behind the horizon and the moon replaced it on the sky.
Imperium City was sleeping, but some shadow lurkers were still out and about, doing who knows what under the cover of darkness.
Swoosh, swoosh!
Through roof to roof, a shadow dodged the moonlight and moved swiftly.
He was heading to the gates of the Imperium and seemed to be planning on leaving this wretched city behind.
However, when he arrived on top of one of the pitched roofs that overlooked the gates, he saw a couple of guards there. The gate behind them was closed.
With both hands, he pulled two knives and threw them at the guards.
The first knife successful took down one of the guards, but the second one quickly placed his shield on the way of the knife.
The knife bounced off the shield.
The shadow did quick hand signals and whispered.
"Shadow Shift!"
