Current Location: Outskirts of Theed
The people of Theed had been asleep for a few hours now, except for the night owls that prowled the streets in search of a place to fulfill their need to get drunk and participate in a bit of debauchery. With most of the city blanketed by the darkness that night brings also brought out those looking to get into trouble of some kind, whether it be petty crimes such as the spice trade or things of a more murderous nature. Unknown to those brave enough to challenge the dark was the fact that a monster lurked these streets tonight. To many he was considered nothing more than a figment of the imagination of those dumb enough to believe in the Boogeyman. In truth, he was all of those things.
A clawed hand clutched the edge of the rooftop, a steady pattern of scratching sounds emitting from the stone as the claws danced upon the surface. Twin eyes of solid white gazed out over the landscape beneath him looking for a potential victim. Azazel Kaine, had been a few days without a meal and the effects of his hunger were already manifesting. The lack of sustenance had left him with only a meager amount of energy and in a weakened state, incapable of moving at the typical pace that he is accustomed to. A pair of female humans walking under the glow of the streetlights caught his attention, jaw dropping instantly and his long tongue emerging to taste the air in search of pheromones. After a short-while the lifelike appendage retracted back within the confines of his mouth moments before the deadly mouth snapped shut and proceeded to bite several times in succession.
With a target in mind Azazel slipped from the rooftop in a graceful fall to the balcony below, landing with a soft thud before bounding over the railing to the adjacent roof. He moved with the sinister grace usually accustomed to wild predators on the hunt and that is exactly what the creature was doing. With rapid strides he advanced upon them, with his body leaned forward being lead by his nose and his arms following in pursuit stretched behind him. Claws extended and spread wide in preparation for the strike. As he approached his mind considered his selection, which one would he allow to survive and tell of the events that would surely unfold tonight. With a few hundred yards separating him from his prey he attempted to quicken his pace, driven by the unforgiving hunger that threatened to leave him in crippling pain if he failed to feast tonight. It was this hunger and pain that refused his attempts to hasten his approach. His body simply couldn't comply and that is why when he finally reached the location of his selected victim, the red head, that he was once again thwarted of his meal. The duo had disappeared into the building that he now stood upon.
Once again, Azazel found himself resting upon the ledge of a rooftop overlooking the scenery beneath him. A small line waited to enter the doorway beneath him, indicating that the establishment was most likely a bar of some kind. Perhaps, this place would reveal a new target to him and if not the two that lead him here would have to come out eventually.
