Sometimes the shadows swallow you whole.

Sometimes the light breaks through the darkness.

"John," says Hector Hall, leaning against a tree outside Shadowcrest. There had been a brief flash of light, but it passed quickly. Hector looks a little tired. He doesn't look like he came for a fight.

"If you have t'do this now you could at least buy me a drink." he looks just as tired and his face is set in stubborn lines.

Hector nods.

"Not a problem."

He turns to walk away, and crooks his neck for John to follow. As he does, the world peels away and they're in the Black Dragon. The bar is thinly populated, but no one blinks at their appearance.

"I don't know what you have planned, but I can already see from here it's nasty and dangerous. Make it count."

A half smile.

"Is there anythin' I don't do thats like runnin' with scissors?"

"Heh. No, there really isn't, is there?"

[laughing_mage]

"Scare you did it?"
