Tonight could have ended better.
Hearts’ head was throbbing. He’d been around the crowds for too long, and his head was filled with the thoughts of people he’d never met. One minute he was hanging at a party, and the next, he found himself ducking into a nearby alleyway to escape the noise that only he could hear.
The farther away from the streets he got, the better his head felt, so he was relieved about that. He sighed to himself--this wasn’t an all-the-time issue, but when it did happen, it really kicked his ass and ruined his night...
As he traversed the backways through the city on his way back to his own home, he came upon another figure in an alley in front of him. He couldn’t make out a face--they seemed to be facing the other way--but it didn’t take him long to pick up on the strange uniform they were wearing. It was...familiar, somehow. Where had he seen--?
It suddenly clicked. He knew where he’d seen that outfit. He’d seen the Tournament of Power recording enough to know it by then. He couldn’t place which one it belonged to, but it definitely belonged to an angel. What was one doing out here...?
He supposed it didn’t matter. This was...a surprising opportunity.
He gathered his thoughts and quieted his breathing. He knew he didn’t have enough power to take on an angel head-on, so this would have to be a surprise attack. It was his only chance, he figured. He would take down his first deity tonight--the first of many he’d planned to eliminate.
His heart was pounding as his adrenaline began to rush, but he wouldn’t lose his cool. He had experience in combat; he’d be fine, right? He kept this in mind as he stealthily crept up upon the angel in front of him, readying an attack consisting of a few cubes he’d formed out of energy, about to strike--!
