The throwing stars hit the shadow square in the middle. It let out an eardrum shattering howl, causing sonic booms that ripped apart everything in its shreds.

The female thief, Sam, lifted her rusty pan lid which was only big enough to cover her face. “Get behind me, brother!” She cried out frantically.

Mark did what his sister told. Sam muttered an incantation under her breath just as a sonic boom reached them. The sides of the pan lid glowed, the sign of Ellinia glowed in the center of it.

“Wow, sis…!” Mark whispered.

The glowing pan lid then expanded to almost triple it’s size, safely shielding Sam and Mark from the shockwaves.

It was all over within a few seconds. The surrounding was utterly devastated by the blast. Clothes lines hung limply from their hooks, broken into pieces. Rubbish bins were completely shredded by the waves, the rubbish inside were not spared either. Star-shaped marks on the walls were caused by flying tied up plastic bags which contained rubbish.

The shadow was nowhere to be seen.

“Shadows.” Sam spit onto the floor. “Let’s head back to headquarters, Mark. I’ve got a hunch on what is it.”

Demon hunting headquarters: Fusion bar
2340 hours.

“So I defeated a Malady with a bottle of my finest wine,” a not-particularly-handsome male assassin bragged to some giggling female pyro-mages. “Hit it square in the head, my best kill I can say!” He said with an egoistic smirk. He was lifting up his mug of beer when-

“Damon! DAMON!” Sam screamed into the assassin’s ear. She dragged him by the collar, away from the giggling bunch of pyro-mages and finally slamming him onto a nearby wall.

“How many times do I have to tell you?! Stop bragging! I killed that damned Malady with my dagger, idiot!” She said it in a forced whisper. The assassin, Damon, could only smirk. “I need more information on that shadow demon we’re chasing after!”

“You’ll get it. For a price, I’m not going to give it to you for free..!” Damon choked out.

“Fine. What is it do you want me to do?” Sam replied hastily.

“Argh, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!” Sam ranted under her breath as she held a piece of autographed card, which read: ‘To Damon, demon hunter, You are my hero. Signed, Athena Pierce’

Mark followed up beside her. “I bet he’s gonna brag about saving Athena from a Kargo, huh.”

“Don’t…” Sam warned as they headed out for a taxi.

Lith Harbour: Damon’s house
0110 hours.

“Here, you stupid egoistic git!” Sam tossed the card at the lanky assassin. He caught it with between his index finger and middle finger. He smiled, “Thanks, that’ll boost my rep’ with the ladies.”

“Cut it, where’s the information I wanted!” Sam demanded, her icy stare bore down on Damon. Mark could only look on as the two rogues stared at each other.
