It was a sunny day in Alexandria and everything was at peace. Birds singing, the scent of flowers, and everyone seemed happy. At one older looking home in the back alleys of the city opened a wooden door and out walked a skinny, dark appearing, man; with a small smile on his face he closed the door behind him and took two steps off his stoop. He looked around and sighed. "Ah! A glorious, yet smelly, day in my alley." He walked towards the streets with a small bounce in his step, he fiddled with his bracelet in his right hand, with 5 of the beads glowing purple.
This man almost reached the end of the alleyway and then heard a yelling. "Father Raspute!" The man turned around to a young woman running towards him. "Yes child?" He responded. She was panting from running too much and then looked up at him and finally said. "There's a small problem, there's a weird creature in my neighbors backyard." Raspute looked at her curiously, then said "Is there now? And why is it a monster?" She looked at him puzzling and he smiled at her. He began walking from the direction she came from and she followed him and walked by his side.
"What makes monsters, monster? Their fangs? their claws? their hunger for human flesh?" Still puzzled the girl absorbs what Raspute says to her. "I don't believe in such a word as monster, for are we not all monsters? The creature you speak of was curious and ventured into the yard. The creators of this city built this grand area, do you honestly think this was an empty field? No my dear. There were creatures, possibly similar to the one you're taking me to. Who is really the monster, the one in the yard, or us?"
Raspute stops as a large creature jumps out in front of him and the girl. She jumps back in fear but Raspute smiles at the creature. It snarls then runs at the two. The girl screams then after a gunshot is heard.
The girl looks up to see Raspute holding one of his Gunblade with smoke coming out of the barrel. She looks to see that the creature is dead. "Of course..." The girl looks up at Raspute as he speaks. "I don't believe in monsters... i do believe in self defense from an aggressor." He puts the gunblade in it's holster then holds up his right hand to the corpse and the bracelet of lost souls glows. The corpse disappears and a ball of purple energy remains with floats to Raspute and is absorbed into his bracelet. Now six beads glow purple.
Raspute turned to the girl smiling "There, anything else i can help you with?" The girl is speechless. "Very well then" Raspute continues walking out of the alley way into the streets.
