Thread: On the Hunt

It was a cool, wet morning. The thick clouds rolled overhead, streaked with lightning and thunder as the poured torrents of rain down on anyone stupid enough, or unfortunate enough to be caught out in the open. One such young man, was working in the rain, not that he cared, it was better than working in the snow. He hated the snow, it was so blisteringly white, and freezing cold. His name was Thitan, at least, that was what he had always been called. He had no real name, and he had no real family, most of the world only knew him as 'Necromancer' for that was the name he used when handling contracts. He had been abandoned as a babe, left on the doorstep of an Assassin. and from the moment his eyes where open, Thitan was taught, trained, and conditioned... he had been taught how to kill with ruthless efficiency, he had learned how to not need others, not need attention, not need affection, not need anything anyone could ever offer him. He was the best, and the youngest to ever 'graduate' from the 'Hunters Academy.' at Fifteen, he had killed his main teacher, and had escaped The Hunters Compound, and from then on, he had been a solo killer, a hired murderer... an assassin who held no morals, and no qualms. But even he had his rules, as unbelievable as it may have seamed, Thitan would take no child. He refused to kill, or harm children, and pregnant women he wouldn't touch in any way. He just wouldn't... no, couldn't do it. Despite that, he was the best at what he did, and he did not come cheep. His unique skills made it effortless to get the job he had done. From seeing people's personal Aura, which was how he always knew when someone was pregnant, to raising actual Zombies from the dirt... he was one of the most feared men in the world. There where so many Rumors floating about 'Necromancer', that it was impossible to know what was truth. Some said that he had been born in a test tube, and had been designed to be the best. Others say he was the living son of a Demon. Some thought he was the Antichrist. The only thing that everyone knew for certain, was that there where only three things that got Thitan annoyed at you, and that often led to your death. Refusing to pay him for a job well done, always ended up with a person in the hospital, and your bank accounts drained. Trying to steal from him ended in death... but Lying to him, well, that was a fate worse than death. Hours of torture, and he left them alive afterwords, mangled beyond repair, to suffer for the rest of their lives... yes, Thitan was feared, and that was right, and proper. Thitan smiled a little to himself, settled atop a large three, maybe four story building as he flexed the Claw like weapon on his right hand. The steal blades curved like claws where tipped with diamonds, so sharp and deadly, he could even cut through steal lampposts. His blood red eyes where flicking from person to person as they walked below him, looking for his newest target. A woman, who had discovered something she shouldn't have. That was all the detail he needed on her, aside from her appearance of course. She was a pretty little thing, but to him, she had no name, and her purpose in life, was simply to die. For Thitan, killing was the only comfort he had. He had no friends, no family, the only thing that he had was death, and as far as he was concerned, that was all he needed. there you are. he whispered to himself, smirking viciously as his eyes fixed on her. She would be a special Kill, he would take her Soul, and add it to his collection. He couldn't talk with the 'Ghosts' he killed, and he couldn't touch him, but they filled him with a sense of peace, and calm. They made him feel so very much less lonely. He stood, and leaped into the air, striking at a wall near her face, gouging out chunks of cement and steal from the wall, bare inches from her face, his red eyes staring into hers as he smirked. run, my pretty little Prey... for today is the day you die... and the longer you keep me at bay, the longer you live. ah, he did so love tormenting his prey.
