Now back to Demitri who is counting his current ammunition in the alley.-Shit, I'll need a good aim to survive this damn night, at least until I can't find the other guns. -Demitri said, realizing that he's going to need to be very accurate with his shots to not run out of ammo, however, this isn't the first time he's done it, nor will it be the last.-So that means you need my help again, right? -A malignant and merciless voice answered.-Don't listen to him, Demitri, you don't need that demon spawn, you can defeat them without him. -A masculine and innocent voice answered.-Shut up, Donovan, you are responsible for Demitri being like this. -The evil voice exclaimed.-Don't listen to him, Demitri, don't bring my death into it, he's already over it. -Donovan answered.-Of course he did, you were his only and best friend he had in his miserable life and look how you ended up, this world doesn't want to let you live in peace, Demitri, your parents abandoned you in that hell called orphanage, when the times of famine came, you had to fight with your companions to death for a miserable piece of bread, when life gave you friends, they sacrificed themselves for you, so you could devour them and survive, the same thing happened with your first love, when you were on the verge of death, the purgers of darkness gave you a new reason to exist, until you met him. -The evil voice answered, emphasizing that last part.-Perhaps what you say is true, but that does not justify that he is a monster that annihilates those beasts, without caring about the innocent lives that are in the middle of their combats. -exclaimed Donovan.-AND WHERE WERE THOSE INNOCENT LIVES, WHEN DEMITRI WAS STARVING, TELL ME HOW MANY FAMILIES DID NOT REJECT HIM, TELL ME WHY GOD LEFT HIM THERE, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? -The evil voice shouted with indignation, but at the same time, enjoying the moment.-Why? -Donovan asked, looking at him face to face in surprise.-BECAUSE HE IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS, THE WEREWOLVES WERE BORN FROM MAN'S AMBITION TO BE GOD, NOW THEY HAVE DOMINATED NIGHT AND DAY, BEING BORN, LIVING AND GROWING WITH THE INNOCENT LIVES YOU TALK SO MUCH ABOUT, LURKING IN THE SHADOWS WAITING FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT TO ATTACK AND THIS IS WHERE DEMITRI COMES IN, HE IS THE NECESSARY EVIL THAT THIS WORLD NEEDS, NO MATTER HOW VILE OR DIABOLICAL THE METHOD, WHAT MATTERS IS THEM, NOOOO.... MAY THEY ALL BURN IN HELL, BECAUSE I WILL BE THE ONE WHO WILL BE THE GATEKEEPER OF HELL, BECAUSE I... NO.... WE ARE THE DEVIL INCARNATE. -I exclaim the evil voice that takes the form of Demitri, while he injects the serum into the aortic vein in his neck.-Demitri, what happened with those dreams of traveling the world, what happened with Madison, didn't you feel something for her, didn't you want to save her from her castle called destiny? -Said Donovan, while Demitri is succumbing to the serum.-They are just dreams, that's all. -Demitri answered without hesitation, without hesitating for a minute.-And those kisses you gave to the albino princess, was it a sign for her to free you from your hell? -Donovan answered while he remained silent and thought for a moment.-No, just...I... AHHHH...she is just a tool to end this war, I will destroy all of you, I will dye the streets of this city red. -Demitri answered while listening to the midnight chime and added. - Time is up, but if that whore thinks she can kill me so easily, she is completely wrong.-If that is your will Demitri, so be it, I hope that during your personal war against the werewolves you can find your humanity. -Said Donovan as he disappeared.The diabolical Demitri, takes possession of him, once again. The lycanthropes begin to howl.-Time has run out...for them. -Said Demitri while laughing fiendishly, he checks his available ammunition and added. -Typical of him, he doesn't think ahead, but nothing sure that Daphne's bitch and Charon will provide me with ammunition throughout this long and bloody...perhaps.Demitri rides out of the alley into the streets, across the rooftops the werewolves are running bloodthirsty even through the streets and even climbing up the buildings, he stops for a moment to confront them.-COME, YOU BEGGARS OF HELL, I, THE DEVIL INCARNATE, DEMITRI DREADFUL, OPEN THE GATES OF HELL FOR YOU AND BEAR WITNESS TO WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF DOING. -Demitri shouts as he laughs fiendishly.The werewolves roar with all their strength, that doesn't even tickle him, so in an act of pride and savagery Demitri roars as if he were one of them, this makes them retreat, this act on their part gives him the opportunity to put on a mask, taking out two crossbows with explosive arrows from the bags that the horse carries, he riddles them without mercy blowing them to pieces, while he rides towards the horde in a suicidal way opening the way.Once inside the horde, he continues firing explosive arrows in addition to throwing incendiary grenades dyeing himself with blood, visors and fire, until he pulls out a silver spear, to impale four werewolves to nail them in a brute form in the wall of a building, pulls out his sword, cuts their heads, leaning on their bodies, pulls the spear from the wall with overwhelming force, dropping the corpses of those beasts. Several werewolves took advantage of this carelessness of Demitri, rushed towards him, but he is prepared for it, pulls out a lever-action shotgun, shoots without blinking, hits the horse with the heel of the foot so that it begins to throw kicks to the werewolves at the same time he decides to employ the spear in one hand with which he pierces them and finishes them off with the shotgun. Until he manages to escape from there making a tactical retreat to get rid of the fire, blood and guts that were beginning to bother him, while he rides with several werewolves chasing him, some rush towards him, but he dodges them, others come out of the windows of buildings as if they were waiting for him or were already there.But how many of these things there, it's a damn army, I don't want to imagine in the forest...AHHH...I'm not going to leave any of them alive...- Demitri thought, however, a werewolf manages to intercept him and ram him, although he reacts quickly, he takes out a sawed-off shotgun from his coat, blowing his head off.Demitri falls to the ground, gets up quickly, draws a revolver with penetrating bullets, riddling them mercilessly until he runs out of ammunition, killing dozens of werewolves because the bullets went through the werewolves like butter, increasing the number of deaths, Unfortunately for him the weapons he used are of a very large caliber to be used with only one hand, although the serum is taking effect, the recoil should not affect him but in one of the hands, the recoil was so strong as to almost bend his wrist, he rearranges it completely, even so this did not stop them so they continued to pounce on him, so he had no choice, He had no choice but to plant a mine in front of him and take some distance so that he would not be blown to pieces, they fell on it and exploded into a thousand pieces, even so this was not enough, so he took out some folding blades from his forearms, mutilating limbs, cutting heads, until he split them in half vertically and horizontally to every beast that got in his way, but this doesn't stop them, they pounce indiscriminately and starkly, however, this doesn't matter to Demitri, on the contrary, this is like going for a walk in the park, thanks to the serum, he never tires of mutilating and killing, the smell of blood, flesh and viscera is such an indescribable drug that every time he wants more and more. Even so, the numerical factor is playing against him, so he decides to change his combat tactic which is to pounce and cling to them, slipping through their bodies as if he were a kind of insect running all over his body, in order to make the beasts kill each other, while he shoots them with his revolver calling their attention. He takes advantage of the fact that there are several gathered, throws grenades with silver and mercury shrapnel at them, blowing them to pieces, some survive, so he takes advantage and finishes them off until one of them looks at him with fear and horror.-You think that poor beast wants to be here, he was once a man with goals, dreams and even an orphan like you. -Said Donovan in his mind that makes Demitri reflect for a few seconds.-Shut up, Donovan, they are evil beasts that deserve to be destroyed, they have been infected by this plague that plagues our world. -Demitri answered, hesitating.-I am not asking you not to do your job, but that should not take away your humanity. -Donovan answered and began to relate how he met Demitri inside his mind.>>I remember when you were just a lonely young man, a quiet boy in class who kept away from others, with Jules Verne books, plus you ate like a beast, I don't want to imagine how many days you had gone without eating, that was normal in those shabby orphanages, at least I was glad you could eat decently, At first I didn't know how I could make friends with you, besides being very distant, at the same time very polite with others, so I decided to harass you a little bit, researching the books you read to find a way to make friends with you. ..-Yes, you are right, I remember you asked when we met if it was possible to go around the world in eighty days or it was just an author's invention or something like that... I answered you that, although it may have some fiction in it, it doesn't sound so far-fetched so when I have money, I will make that trip to confirm it, is that ok with you? -Demitri interrupted Donovan as they both laughed about it.-And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, at the beginning we talked and discussed about your books in the beginning, this allowed me to recommend you several of mine, but unfortunately you don't like deep and philosophical things unfortunately, although at least I could see that human side of you that you had hidden in that cold and icy heart you have, although in the most murky and inhuman trials you showed that dark and ruthless side that made me make my pants..." answered Donovan remembering good times.-However, I remember that you decided to tell me about that dark side you have, I was surprised to learn that you were not a saint, that you also have your demons, so to speak, you had already developed it before me, you told me that some werewolves attacked your orphanage and killed everyone but you, however, when the purgers of darkness arrived at the place they saw with horror how a fifteen year old boy had done the impossible, giving those poor beasts such a violent and diabolical death that they were unrecognizable. Demitri answered thoughtfully.-Yes, it was a work of art of indescribable extreme violence, to see how Donovan's innocence crumbled like a house of cards, while he watches helplessly as his loved ones are raped and killed, with no chance to do anything, as his whole world is shattered, with the rage, anger and survival instinct that degenerates the holiest person, in its most primitive, savage, bloodthirsty, sadistic and brutal form of man. -interrupted the voice that lies in the darkness of Demitri's soul.-And how do you know that spawn of the demon," exclaimed Donovan in a threatening and intimidating manner.-Finally, you show your true face Donovan, I like that. -Said the voice coming out of the darkness, an evil version of Demitri.-Who are you? -Demitri asked in surprise.-The problem is not who I am, but what you became, Demitri after that fateful event, after you met Donovan who took refuge in that good boy face, he can see in you, someone exotic, rare and interesting, your friendship with Donovan was something like brothers, it's like you finally found someone you could open your heart to... finally being an ordinary human being, however, Donovan is not very different from what you are now, since you could say that he was a kind of avenger, burned by the death of his loved ones... if I am honest with you that is something vain and boring for my taste, I mean... I am sick and tired of that... you understand me, Demitri," said the Evil Demitri.-You're a..." Donovan exclaimed and Demitri grabbed him so he wouldn't rush at him.-You can leave him Demitri, it doesn't matter, this way I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget. -I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget," answered the evil Demitri challenging Donovan.He lets him go, Donovan rushes towards him, but the evil version of Demitri catches him in the face and stamps him on the floor as if he were nothing, and then stomps on him as if he were an insect. Evil Demitri continues with his monologue.>>You are definitely ungrateful, Donovan, I have saved your ass several times and this is how you thank me, at the end of the day, listen to me, you piece of shit, all the people that lived in that orphanage were condemned to a horrible and desolate future, because that place ran out of funds, the government, among other institutions was so obsessed with annihilating those beasts, unfortunately in their eyes you were nothing more than dead weight for the country, your friends sooner or later were going to become the prostitutes and criminals of tomorrow. ... so those werewolves did their job well in doing society a favor by keeping those scum alive, thanks to that you found a reason to live, I loved how you killed those people in the psychological tests. ... . fast and brutal, but that wretch Charon, he evangelized you with the word of God and you went back to being the same as before, how disgusting, however, I thank God that I can know you Demitri, that darkness that you emanate from your being, intrigued me, although I needed to bring it to light in some way or another, when your friendship with Donovan was strong enough, that the time came when you would be reborn as the devil incarnate, while Donovan fought for his survival during the exams, sooner or later he would fall into the biggest and most lethal trap that man could ever imagine, a power that they underestimate, a power capable of subduing man himself in order to do vile and depraved acts, that not even weak minds could imagine and that... is the power of the woman. ... is the power of the woman.-DON'T GO ON, YOU FREAK, MAYBE I'M NOT PERFECT, BUT DON'T DO IT, I BEG YOU. -Donovan, who is subdued on the floor, shouts.The Evil Demitri shows the memory of when Demitri and Donovan as if it were a projection, they were the last hunters of the exam, they broke the code of walking each one, on their own, to spend time together as brothers, although they had to separate in order to find the last missing alpha lycan, Demitri didn't want to leave you alone since he had your back, besides saving your skin several times and vice versa thanks to your primitive fury, especially since there was little time left for the exam to be over, when they went their separate ways, poor Donovan was prepared for anything, well... not for everything... ... not for everything... a beautiful Caucasian woman with the body of a Goddess was sitting on a stone, Donovan was shocked, but she could be a werewolf woman, even so, her beauty, her charm and innocence, her smile, clouded his judgment, other women were arriving, in total there were five...-Please, don't show this, I beg you, I couldn't bear it, please. -Demitri whispered and looked to the side, the poor man's tears were coming to his eyes, and he burst into tears.-OH NO... YOU ARE GOING TO SEE IT AND YOU WILL LIKE IT VERY MUCH. -I exclaimed the Evil Demitri while grabbing his head and opening his eyes so he wouldn't miss anything.Demitri's eyes are witnessing his best friend being raped and dismembered alive. Tears well up in his eyes especially as they shit and piss on his corpse. Young Demitri arrives where his friend is, falling to his knees on the ground, who begins to cry and scream.-At that moment, your life fell apart, your humanity died, the laughter and guffaws of those bitches boiled your blood, but something inside you is already broken, you remember what you said at that moment, that was so powerful that, to this day, I am proud to be by your side, could you refresh my memory...Demitri," said the Evil Demitri waiting to listen to his monologue.Donovan tries to talk some sense into him, but it is too late.>>I was born in hell, every day I wished death, but the simple fact of wishing it could only lead me to the real hell, so I decided to suffer and live until death took pity on me, I could only take refuge in books that eclipsed the sad and crude reality, at least they kept me alive, they gave me hope, all the people who came close to me became a light in my life that went out again and again, their lives are inside me because they fed them to me, the day I finally saw my end, those dark men took me out of there, to put me in another hell, where we had to fight to save this shitty world from the beasts that dwell among us, I would rather be dead, but to have the chance to have a roof over my head, a meal as delicious as if it were my last, a bed where I could rest in peace, was not something that is not so easily negotiated, I was so incredulous at that moment, I closed my heart as much as I could, but Donovan opened it to me and now you closed it to me, he saw humanity in me and in this world on the brink of destruction, but that was a mistake, werewolves and humans are the same shit, if you won't let me live in peace, if you won't let me dream in peace, then I will become YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, THE DEMON INCARNATE.From the darkness emanates a fire that illuminates all around. Demitri laughs diabolically, poor Donovan watches in horror, while, inside the fire, the bodies of his victims (werewolves and humans) burn and suffer from the flames of his hatred. In the retina of his eyes, you can see all his executions and exploits to this day.-See you in hell, asshole. -Demitri exclaimed as he finished off the werewolf that was looking at him with fear.By instinct and millimetric reflexes he makes a Split to dodge at the last second, the onslaught of a werewolf that passes over him, but not before activating a hidden blade to open his torso, spreading his entire being in the street, filling it with bodies, blood and viscera.-I love the smell of death, its blood and viscera scattered everywhere, I hope Charon gives me a good pay and a good vacation, ahh. No wait, a good pay would be to have a tear from each one of you, although you are not worthy to make you cry and my vacation, now is that you have just started. -Demitri thought, while dodging like a gazelle several onslaughts of werewolves until he makes a somersault forward dodging one of them that breaks the door of a residential building, he pulls out a grenade from his coat throwing it at the entrance to finish off the werewolf and blow it into a thousand pieces. Demitri runs into the building to find a way to get to Daphne to resupply him with ammunition and weapons.Once inside the building, he begins to climb up the rectangular spiral stairs with hallways connecting people's residences, werewolves enter both through the front door and by climbing up the outside and accessing through the windows, but that wasn't all, his keen hearing as well as his survival instincts notice some roars coming out of the residences.-This is getting entertaining, those scumbags are out of their residences, this is getting more entertaining than it should, COME ON SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, CHRISTMAS IS EARLY.... -Demitri thought while facing the werewolves that are killing them with their blades, as he tries to climb to the roof, until a crossbow arrow goes through the window of the floor where he is, inserting in the eye of a werewolf that ends up killing him in the process, before he falls through the railing, Demitri manages to remove the arrow that had a tangled note. He unrolls it as he fights the werewolves and reads the following:Dear demon spawn named Demitri,I imagine you are short of ammunition again, so you will have to survive on your own terms until they finish setting the trap, so await further instructions.Sincerely:-------P. D: Break a leg-At least she wishes me good luck, the bitch, but nothing like in the old days. -Demitri thought as he ran up the stairs maiming, dodging, taking advantage of small instances to reload his revolvers, shotguns with what little ammunition he had left, among other concealed weapons he still had at his disposal in order to make his way through the horde in the building. When the situation couldn't get any worse than usual, werewolves, werewomen and even their pups start to come out of the residences, but this not only drew a devilish grin on his face.-How cute, kids...how about playing a game...let's play," said Demitri with a voice of a birthday party entertainer and suddenly changed to that of a demon so he added. -SOCCER.He kicks a pup as if it were a soccer ball, sending it flying towards a window taking it out of the building, his mother realizes this merciless and violent act to her pup, she rushes towards him while he is finished with several werewolves in front of him, but he is aware that one of them was going to take revenge and attack him, so by instinct, he manages to dodge her, he puts on his silver mittens, when he is at a considerable distance, she takes a run again but he overtakes her, He connects a tremendous punch all over her snout, sinking it completely, all thanks to the serum that gives him the strength to face the lycanthropes body to body, but not satisfied with this brutal act, he activates his blade that goes through her brain and makes a rudimentary lobotomy to bring her closer to the window while he takes out his revolver, shoots anyone who approaches him, and then pulls the blade out and kicks her out of the building. The options are running out, so he makes his way through them until he manages to enter one of the residences, to then go out through the balcony, he nails some silver stakes he had in his coat, to quickly climb to the roof and continue the chase across the rooftops. He runs like there's no tomorrow, until an arrow falls a bit away from him, he grabs it, unravels the note and reads it.Dear human scum called Demitri,I am impressed that you are still alive you wretch, the trap is already set, I will provide you with a horse armed to the teeth, with a briefcase full of weapons, that is waiting for you five streets away, I will give you hints so you know where to go to set the trap, wait for further instructions.Sincerely:-------P. P.S.: Get the hell out of here.-I love it when you spit on me Daphne, but don't worry, I'll give you your little present when I'm done with these beasts as a token of thanks, you are fucking semen cesspool.... my cum. -Said the evil Demitri in his mind as he evades several werewolves and pulls out a collapsible war dough using it to take out some werewolves.He goes running at full speed jumping through the buildings that doesn't have very big alleys, however, Daphne manages to leave some arrows with notes that guide him to the rendezvous point. However, a werewolf tries to tackle him, but he gives a mortal backwards, rides on top of him as if he were a horse, stabs him to make him run faster because there is a very big street that would be impossible for a normal human to jump, so they both jump but not before he gives him a tremendous beating in the air until he decapitates his head in the air and then crashes against a balcony of an apartment.Once inside the apartment, Demitri gets up as if nothing had happened and the werewolf's body withstood all the impact, a child comes out to see what happened along with his parents, he stares at them confused, takes out some silver powder, throws it at them, inspects them and they are human.-It seems that not everyone evacuated, but that's what I like about the ignorance and stupidity of mankind, they are one of the roots of all evils. -Demitri thought while the people asked for an explanation, Demitri just points to the other building where there are several werewolves trying to jump into the apartment, the father of the family looks down, where a werewolf catches him and devours him, and even several werewolves managed to jump into the apartment, one raped the mother, another rapes the daughter, and the last one is going to devour the child. He takes advantage of this to get out of there but when he goes out the door, he feels like something is running towards the door so he gets out of there, a werewolf rammed the door, so he goes running towards the balcony destroyed evading the werewolves, to drop to the balcony of the apartment below, to get out the front door of the apartment, but a werewolf rammed him, but manages to reverse it in the air to let him fall at that moment, pulls out a cable with hook, to go down to the balcony apartment below and enter the balcony.Once inside the place, he is greeted by a family of werewolves almost next to the entrance, but he is getting warmed up, he begins to confront the family at the same time, alternating his hidden blades, his mallet, his silver mittens, until he leaves them in the shit, but he takes the corpse of the werewolf woman to charge her, he rams her against the door breaking it into pieces, until he reaches the rectangular spiral staircase, where there were many, werewolves, he drops the corpse over the railing, he jumps towards the railing to get to the other side, a werewolf also rushes towards him to ram him in the air, with his blades he makes a cross in the air that ends up breaking the werewolf into four pieces, Demitri lands on the other side, he ram the door to get out through a window, Demitri slides down the ledge until he reaches the rain drainage pipe on the roofs to drain it to the floor, so he slides down the pipe until he reaches the floor and then shoots a werewolf in the head, lands on its body and runs away from there, while he is chased by all the werewolves of the city.Demitri runs faster than a locomotive, evading the horde of werewolves that chase him by putting obstacles in his way, but this is useless until he hears a horse whinnying, until Daphne shoots an arrow directly at his head, but he catches it, again taking a note from the arrow. This one tells him that about five blocks a black-skinned English thoroughbred horse, modified with the same serum Demitri uses to face the werewolves head-on, with his large briefcase, with two gatlings on the sides, two mortars, plus some mines in the back to reduce the numbers of the horde. He rides on a werewolf that almost charges him; it makes a split jump to ride on top of him using him as a horse as he goes around the blocks until they find the alley where the horse is. He ties a silver chain around the werewolf's neck to choke and decapitate it mercilessly.-What a work of art of animal, I should take one of these to hell, but enough talk..." Said the evil Demitri admires the animal, he mounts as the werewolves are almost surrounding him, he activates the gatlings through a crank system that the horse has, riddling them without mercy, the horse makes its way through the pile of meat and ammunition leaving the alley towards the trap that Charon has prepared for those beasts.The chase is brutal, although the horse can beat the werewolves in speed, this does not mean that some of them can reach him, so he began to deploy all the artillery to reduce their numbers, the mines make mincemeat of them, the mortars blow him to pieces and the gatlings mow down anyone who gets in front of him. Still, he has to use his rifles as the horse's guns can only attack forwards and backwards but not sideways, so he has to take care of that with his bare hands.Halfway through, the albino princess launches a howl so powerful that it echoes throughout the city...from the windows of the buildings, premises, among other buildings, men and women wolves up to the pups come out flooding the streets of the whole city. Both entities inside Demitri's body saw the sky at the sight of the whole city full of those scum, this draws a devilish smile on his face.-I'm ecstatic...no, we are ecstatic, I'm dying to know what's in store for these night creeps, I'm dying to dye this night red.... -Said the two entities that were dying to know the cruel fate that awaited them when they reached the trap.So, they went through almost the entire city trying to survive the wave until they almost ran out of ammunition, since they do not know where the trap is, until they realized that there is an envelope perfectly hidden in the helmet that has the horse that has the map and a letter.Dear suicidal masochistic asshole named Demitri,By this point in the plan, you are running around the city like a moron without knowing where the trap is, since you are so ecstatic to die in the most diabolical way possible so I left you this map where the trap is set, which is where you had met Charon previously, even so, I know you are still alive unfortunately, so hurry as fast as possible.Sincerely:-------P. S: Die at once, please.-You're a fucking bitch, you should have specified where the letter was from the beginning... I want to send this spawn to hell in the most violent and diabolical way possible. -Demitri exclaimed, angry and ecstatic about the massacre he was doing, he headed for Charon's house, as soon as the horse ran out of ammunition, so he confronted with melee weapons (such as swords, spears, maces, etc.) against the lycanthropes on the way to the trap. Until he manages to reach the place, a man is ready to trigger the detonator, Demitri sacrifices the horse, although this hurt him in the soul, but it was necessary, until he goes running to him to then connect a few remote-controlled flying kicks (Dropkick) in the chest.-THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL SEND THOSE BEASTS TO HELL... IS ME. -Demitri said while taking the power of the detonator, he waits a little while for the whole horde to enter the place until everyone is inside.-LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS BLOODY NIGHT, BUT IT IS TIME TO CLOSE THE CURTAIN, BUT NOT BEFORE CLOSING WITH A FLOURISH...WITH A LITTLE DANCE PIECE OF YOURS TRULY...WHICH I CALL.... THE DANCE OF EXTINCTION. -Demitri shouted as if he were a master of ceremonies, he activated the detonator, activating the explosives that had silver and mercury inside simultaneously, annihilating the whole horde of lycanthropes that were there, while Demitri danced to the rhythm of the explosions, his screams accompanied the symphony of destruction that dyed the night red.
