Who Am I?

A brief Introduction to our hero...

Who am I? My identity is a mystery, even to myself. I am a warrior, a killer and the lone wolf, howling at the moon. I am the dark one. The moon, she draws me near her, calls me, begs me to make her mine. Love, what a concept. I held love in high regards once. Now, my heart has been closed and brutally torn open, like that time I went berserk and painted my hands in the crimson blood and quivering entrails of a filthy, worthless murdered and rapist in the middle of said act. The only thing worse than rapists are child beaters. Now, the only thing that I love is the feel of my blade ripping through skin and sinew, rupturing organs of life and purging this world of the filthy creatures who taint the name of human. But being only in the company of darkness, blood, gore and others who are as emotionally devoid as you are tends to strain the mind. So this is why I keep this journal. This is the only way that I can escape the darkened, twisted void that is my mind. I am currently in a hollow tree trunk, trying to get a couple hours rest before my unit has to move out. My black robes are within easy reach, so if need be I can venture out in a heartbeat. Our target, a merchant who builds his empire by holding a facade of a clean business but in reality pushes his business in all the worst possible ways. Drugs, bad money, hiring mercenaries to eliminate smaller businesses that would compete with him, pillaging small towns and selling women on the sex slave market were only a few of his atrocious crimes. He was passing this way tomorrow, or so our Intel told us. For his crimes, this son of a b***h will DINE IN HELL.

Well, now my candle grows low and the second life every man lives within the time of almighty Erebus, and when the dark tresses of Nyx flows. My quill is stowed away and my blade is near at hand. I bid thee farewell.

Assassin 427, Platoon Leader, alias sleeping Death.
