Alyster Greymare: Demon of the Night

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Alyster frantically sprang up the stairs two steps at a time, until he reached his bathroom, where he stripped down to absolutely nothing and jumped into the bath filled to the brim with absolutely nothing. Realising that there was nothing in the bath. Alyster turned the tap on waiting for the hot cleansing water to arrive for at least 10 minutes.

After these 10 minutes, Alyster had acquired a coconut brush rubbed himself raw with a bar of 'pine fresh' soap.

As he got out of the bath, he heard a loud, banging noise emanating from the front door. "I'm in the bath! Could you give me a minute?!" screamed Alyster from the bathroom. He ran out of the bathroom butt naked, into his bedroom, where he slipped into a clean underwear and a pair of dark blue jeans. As for his torso, he wore a clean white t-shirt and wore a dark green jumper.

Alyster grabbed his mirror from his mahogany desk and examined himself; He looked into the mirror and saw a handsome young man with jet black hair which was very messy, with soft cream coloured skin, whose nose was broken and had acquired a reasonably large cut across his cheek. He broke into a grin and ran into the living room where he had left his katana on the dirtied rug.

The katana was bathing in the warmth of the sunlight pouring in from the window. Alyster walked up to the katana in a awkward strut. He bent down and gingerly touched the katana and instantaneously felt a rush of power surging through out his entire body.

He picked up the katana and examined it: the hilt of the katana had a laced red ribbon winding down a deep black grip, he pushed his eyes lower to meet the midnight scabbard, it had a purple dragon engraved upon it, twisting and turning around the scabbard until it hit the bottom. In the middle it engraved a name 'Akuma' which meant 'gentle breeze' in the Old Tougue. Alyster knew that only 28 of these 'Alderite Demon Blades' existed. He unsheathed the katana which revealed a magnificent purple blade which entwined itself with a small hint of darkness and magic. The purple blade weighed as much as a piece of paper, yet it could cut through anything, no matter how big or small.

Alyster snapped back into reality and sheathed his demonic blade. He strapped the weapon and sheath onto his leather belt, and jumped straight out of the window.
