The clouds grayed the pavement where the hordes hustled around, minding their own business. Edmond viewed them from the comfort of his library. He wouldn't dare partake in their chores, as he deemed them to be quaint and far away from the point. Until he heard the hiss that chilled his bones. After a second of shock, he got up and drew his sword from the book case. And a copy of an anciant tome unkown to anyone. In his pocket, he always kept a piece of chalk.
He stepped on the cobblestone, and glanced, only for a moment at the source of the hissing. A creature of complete ebony, covered with concentrations of barnicles. It was about the size of his 3 story apartment. It rushed towards a young girl, about 5 foot 3. Its long claws swooshed towards her. And then they where halted by a sword of iron. " Mind moving, my dear." Edward cordially muttered. She nodded, and ran away. He freed his sword from the creatures grasps, and jumped away, letting them strike the cobblestone. He dashed at it, and chopped its ungodly hand of. While it was stunned, he began to write.
His arms moved in a flurry, with a furious passion, but also with enough flare to keep it legible. "Good, good. And know for one last swoop." he said to himself while signing his name. " And know, foul creature. Prepare to return to hell, and meet your master, Lord Lucifer himself. " he said, quite loudly, so the beast could hear him clearly. Not that it understood English. He would have to end this creature in latin.

His rune glowed crimson, and the foul beast roared in fear. It pounced towards Edmond, but a chain drew it down by its neck. More chains grew, as it roared in pain and anger. They slowly digged deeper into its skin, A dark liquid began to escape the space covered by chains. It gave up, and groaned it defeat. A red glow came from below the beast, and it was dragged down quickly.
A silence fell over the crowd. Slowly, Edmond pace back to his apartment. He heard outbursts of "Witch" and "Heretic". But his door was locked before they could get him. Hellen would arrive any minute know. Edmond fell, dumbly,upon his couch. He read a fair bit of "The Myth of Sisyphus " before dowsing off. "Edmond" Hellen called. He started. She looked wonderful. Her dress was lined with paintings of flowers, and was just tight enough to compliment her chest. Her brown hair, while usually in a bow, was let out and semi curly. " Cmon, Edd. Get up." she pleaded. " Very well" he muttered, as he slowly rose from his couch.
She seemed particularly bubbly today, as if it was some special occasion. All they did was buy some flowers, and a small brunch. But she treated every occasion as if it was special. Thats probaly why Edmond loved her. She complimented his overall respite for society very well. But today, she was particularly affable. And then that one, special moment came. She got down to her knees, and poured her heart out. She spoke of love, and marriage. She asked him for his future. But Edmond has no time for that. He ran back to his apartment, and spent the rest of the night alone.
The next day, another creature tormented the pavement. This one was covered in cloth, obscuring its entire body. This one was the same size of Edmond. With a sigh, Edmond left his apartment. "Prepare yourself, foul hethen, to return to your Lord and Master, Lucifer." he read, somewhat blandly. He got on the ground, and wrote his usual runes.

The creature slowly walked towards Edmond. No chains touched him.
