In the city of Kydian, there is much to be seen here. This is a city that has been through so much, seen so much, that now most would deem it dead. It's not a glorious city, not like it once was, here there was a darkness that had rooted within. Even the Hunters had a hard time cleaning it out and this was their starting point. The crime in this city was the worst in all of Altainia, no soul traveled alone here. Most of the buildings had been vandalized and defaced with graffiti, others were fashioned with locks of all sorts.
Yes this city had been gone for far to long and yet, if one look close enough, could still see a glimmer of a heart beat with in. Just a sliver of hope, its that hope that keeps it going. The hope of a better, brighter future. Though for now we will take our tale with one of the Hunters, a Hunter most know as Nine. Nine whom adorn a black trench coat, black button up shirt (half buttoned), black combat boots with metal on the toes, and black leather pants. He only carried one weapon, a sword that out matched any other, though as a Pureblooded Vampire, he rarely needed any weapon.
Nine was stalking the city at night, taking out any contract the Hunters had gathered. Sept this night, he was on his own, not really working with the Hunters. He was, as one says off duty, walking around the dark city. It was surprisingly quiet, few thugs here and there, nothing the authorities couldn't handle. Nine found himself rather bored, almost thought to call it an early night.
Up ahead was a man, like most cities have one, so did Kydain. It was one of this men who tries to warn you about the end, how its coming. This man was one of them, he wore tattered old clothings, looked dirty himself. He held a sign up, which read "The End is Nigh!" and in his other hand he had a bell. He kept ringing the bell and screaming out " The end, the end, its coming! Be prepared, for its coming! The end is coming I say!" He seem to only pace though this night, around near the old Azurian church. It was still very much functional, just the building had seen better years.
Now thats not the part in which Nine became quiet, as the word goes intrigued. Behind the man was another man, this man was finely dressed in black coat,Black button up shirt, nice ascot which was red, a victorian style black vest, nice black dress pants, and leather pointed boots with buckles around the ankles. His hair was dark brown and he had a nice trimmed beard, his eyes were a vibrant red. Yes boys and girls it is Altainia's own Voltaire, he too carried a sign, as he paced behind end is nigh guy. Sept his sign read "The End is already here." though he did not shout anything. He merely remained silent, just following the end is nigh guy around. Thats aleast what he has decided to name the fellow, it mused him.
Now Nine just looked well confused, he would walk over to Voltaire and ask "What are you doing? Don't tell me you believe in all this end is coming crap?"
Voltaire grins as he so does "Oh but Nine its already here, can't you tell? We all, already live in one of the circles of hell. Circles, gates, realms, cells, levels......whatever you want to call them." gesturing his free hand about.
Nine took a deep breath, trying to grasp Voltaires, thought patterns, which was quite difficult to do. "Voltaire I think I would know if I lived in hell."
Voltaire's grin widen "Oh but you don't, you're blind like the rest. Like this end is nigh guy, you don't realize you're already dead. I wish you would and just move on already, make this process so much easier. Plus then the planet would finally be able to heal, from all of damage everyones put her through.
Nine cocked a brow "Wouldn't you have to move on to?"
Meanwhile end is nigh guy had grown silent, listening to them talk. His mind swirling at Voltaire's words, trying to take it all in.
Voltaire however continued "No you see, this is not my hell. My hell is worse then this, for my hell is an eternal torment with in myself, that can never be settled. Now then as I said before, everyone's already dead, wish you all wise up and go to the great beyond, leave me your planet." grinning wide to Nine.
End is nigh guy, just watched baffled. He didn't know what to say, nor did he have any import to their talk.
Nine would sigh "Whatever Voltaire, I forget talking to you is a headache. Just don't forget what our contract says Voltaire." with this, Nine walks away and decides yes, he will call it an early night.
Voltaire would remain grinning, he just replies with "I never forget Nine, never."
All the while end of nigh guy sort of just wanders off, letting his sign drag on the ground a little. Could this Voltaire be right, is he already dead, living in a circle of hell and if so, which level?
