The sun sinks below the horizon as the day fades into night. As if all at once, all noise disappears from the world and bright little dots begin to cover the cloudless sky, forming thousands of unnamed constellations. A wolf howls in the distance, it’s the only noise the night allows.
A lone assassin runs across an open plain, his boots touch the ground, but don’t leave any imprints, each step is soundless. He’s dressed in a black garb that covers him from head to boot. There’s only a narrow opening in his hood for his eyes. He has a sword on his back, and a few knives hidden in his garb.
His eyes burn red as his target appears. He pulls out a knife as the pregnant woman turns to look at him, only fear in her eyes. The knife slits her throat as she falls to the ground, blood spilling everywhere. The assassin crouches next to her and slits her belly, taking the baby out of her stomach, it cries as the stranger grabs it, miraculously and sadly still alive.
“I have plans for you…” the assassin whispers.
