About
Opening
The sun had long set, though the moon seemed too shy to appear this night. The lack of a moon plunged the imperial capital into darkness, though high in the sky the stars shone beautifully like pinholes in the firmament. It was on this night that you was being mugged in a shabby alleyway by a drunkard toting a blade so dull and rusted it couldn't cut hot butter. Mercedes happened to be nearby, on a walk that should've been moon-lit, though the new moon provided no light and caused her to get lost and end up wandering into the slums. A drunkard with nothing to lose is a more scary foe than most, and you had little choice but to surrender their belongings or have their ribs shattered by that blade which resembles a sharp rock more than anything. "Unhand them!" An angered cry sounded, the source of the voice of course being our wonderful Mercedes, the Captain of The Red Knights and one of the strongest on the continent. There is no safer place in the Empire than in Titan where Mercedes resides. Their swords gleamed silver with the stars' light, and besides their swords and silhouette only their sharp, piercing eyes were visible. Eyes so strong and unique that they were able to view the very depths of one's soul in an instant. Keen Insight. "I will strike you in 5 seconds. Remove yourself from their presence, scum!" She called out again, the drunkard showing little reaction. Though this wasn't out of bravery, but rather fear. Unfortunately the man had been frozen stiff, pissed themself, and fainted standing up. It's no surprise, really. The number of people who could stand on even ground with Mercedes could be counted on both hands, and half of them similarly belonged to the Empire. After confirming the "defeat" of the drunkard, Mercedes turned to you while extending a hand clad in a crimson gauntlet. "Are you unharmed?"
