Fire and Ice...

[light]

Jenni took in a deep breath of the early morning’s crisp and cold air. It was rejuvenating and swept all thought of sleep from her mind. Her emerald eyes shone in the light that filtered through the clouds that always seemed to overcast the drab city. Using this light she held up her antique watch. Jenni gave a sigh; her train wouldn’t arrive for half an hour, what in the world was she going to do? The pale mink gave a longing look at a coffee stand before shaking her head. She had only brought enough money for her groceries, it wouldn’t do for her to over indulge on things she could do without. Sure it was a frugal and a frustrating way to live, but she was saving up. For what exactly, she didn’t know, but she trusted her instincts on this one.

Jenni took a seat on a rusted bench and pulled out a worn and tattered book of poems. Skimming over the pages, she finally found her favorite, Fire and Ice, by Robert Frost. Clearing her throat, she began to read orally, letting herself become the poetry as she delved into its deeper meanings. “Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice.” Her voice was a sweet sound that left a hollow echo when she was done, and Jenni continued on, going through her favorite poems, reading them out loud with her innocent voice…

Karanass lit the main boosters on the prototype and rocketed towards the station. As he approached the location he noticed a pearl white mink sitting on a bench and slammed on the brake thrusters. As he got closer he noticed that she was alone. As he skidded to a stop in front of her he started to question the validity of the prototypes construction. "Why am I doing this, is this right? what rage caused me to create something so powerful and yet so malicious?" But as he looked back he saw his mother being shot in the head as she pleaded for mercy and his father on his knees asking them for reprieve. He saw the gun being lifted to his heasd and the trigger being pulled. Then he saw the tattoo on one of their arms. The hourglass guild. The death of his parents and the loss of his home. They were all the fault of the group that called themselves Angels. This was his reason for creating this monster and bringing it into the world. If they were angels then he would become their demon. as he approached the station he activated the combat HUD on the main screen and prepared to enter the opening.

"No regrets, there is no room for sorrow, they deserve nothing but death". He looked around and sped towards the mink, however as he did the scan reticle failed to locate the identifying tattoo, and the word [glow=black,2,300]CIVILIAN[/glow] flashed red underneath her, as he reached out to stop he grabbed a pillar on the station. Looking down at her he said " you might not want to stick around here, it's going to get real dangerous pretty soon". He scanned the room searching for any hourglass tattoos and boosted off.
