1 Preface

The seemingly young woman stalked into the alleyway her belt full of an assortment of wicked looking daggers,knives,a few throwing stars,and a whip "just in case" she always said though in all honesty it was her favorite. Her thick chocolate colored hair despite being pulled into a high braid swayed just below her hips annoying her to no end with every step. The creature she had been trailing for the last two blocks stopped short in its tracks and with inhumane speed turned to meet her gaze "filthy witch" it hissed in a low voice "you were foolish to come alone this night."the creature hissed grinning exposing its rotted teeth and gums. The woman smirked slowly smoothing her thumb over the leather handle of her whip "hm was I though? because to be honest y'all are not that much to handle and I've only gotten better with age, unlike some people" she snarled gesturing to the creatures' sickly thin form. Angrily the grotesque creature hissed again "You're not that old little trickster and we've defeated many of your kind we will have fun with you" the woman rolled her catlike green eyes "Dude chill with the nicknames! My name is Andy you old pile of bones and I could take on all twelve of you and not get a single scratch." she said arrogantly glaring at the eleven forms so similar to their masters' creeping out of the shadows around her "Nice of you to finally show yourselves cowards." she said softly grinning, exposing her pointed canines, her bright teeth a slash against her shadow ridden face "Unfortunately I believe it is you lovely souls who have made the mistake here." she said as she unwrapped her whip from her belt. Faster than any of the daemons could realize she wrapped her whip around the one closest to her and pulled ripping its grotesque head clean off its shoulders while at the same time throwing two knives into the hearts of two others when the three bodies had fallen and turned into little piles of ash she smiled brightly at the leader and said "And that was just for fun!". If anyone had walked past the alley just a few moments later they would see a beautiful young woman surrounded by twelve little piles of what looked like smoking dust.
