A lone figure in a dark cloak emerges from the shadows of an alleyway, and briefly strides through the light of one of the ghost lamps. They stalk the streets, in the depth of the night, when no one else dares to step foot outside the safety of their homes. No one sees them, no one knows, where they come from, where they go. A rusty rapier hangs limply at their side, for nowhere is safe at this time of night. Silently, stealthy, they sink back into the shadows from whence they came, as if they had never been there at all.
