Uriel had taken mental note of the place and knew more or less amount of buildings he had to walk by to reach his destination, but something didn't add up. According to his calculations he was pulled inside the building right before the one he was supposed to get in. As if that wasn't bad enough, instead of the reassuring presence of his companions, all he could see inside was a couple of red glinting eyes staring right at him. 'This is it, I'm done for' He shut his eyes and braced for the worst. The…-

"Calm down!" Miss Dragonfang commanded. "We still have some time left. Listen kids, that thing is actually a creature called eclipse, you can already guess what it does but you don't know yet how to face it. It's not as bad as it looks because its completely harmless by itself, you just have to lay low inside a building while Phlox and I take cover in another location." "We shouldn't get separated! That's precisely how things go down in horror movies!" Sam cried. "This is not the same, cryptids about…

"That was incredible!" Medusa gasped and the rest of the group didn't miss the chance to celebrate the result. When it became evident that they weren't going to keep walking, Sam finally asked. "Shouldn't we go back? it's getting late." "Pffft, yeah, and miss on the orb? no thanks. It may be a weakling, but those things are too valuable to leave behind." Phlox replied. "Besides, we still have a lot of time, it's not even noon yet." As they waited for the Black dog's corpse to disappear, Luna…

Reaching the outskirts of the city took way less than Uriel expected. He would have liked to study his newly acquired artifact more thoroughly, after all, a weapon like that was precisely what Uriel needed during an incursion. Nevertheless, visiting his mental museum not only took a lot of focus, it also left him completely unaware of his surroundings and he didn't want a misunderstanding like the one he just experienced to happen again. The first buildings they encountered were all marked with spray…

"Wait a moment please!" Luna interrupted. "Now that's what I call a spoilsport." Miss Dragonfang said in a reproachful tone after having her moment ruined. "I'm sorry, but, how do we win? What do we get if we do so? or what happens if we take longer than two minutes?" Luna asked. "Uh, let's see... If you take longer than two minutes that would mean you're dead, at least that's in this hypothetical scenario. So, if you take longer than two minutes you won't get a share in our earnings."…

"Revenge!? You dragged me all the way here just for revenge and didn't even bother telling me up until now!?" Uriel shouted in anger. "Don't be mad, Sage. She only did it because we asked her to." Medusa said trying to calm her friend down, but Miss Dragonfang lifted a hand to shush her. "What you say is true, I understand you feel cheated, but none of us could go on with our lives, not like this..." She explained. "But... why drag me along? I don't need any of this! I thought we would be hunting…

This was the second time Uriel went outside city walls, but it was nothing like last time. The heavy traffic made their way almost insufferable and it took them much more time than they expected, still Uriel didn't miss the opportunity to sightsee. "Whew! Finally some fresh air!" Medusa opened the window as soon as the armored vehicle entered the wilderness. "You never get used to it, after a while you'll feel suffocated inside the city." Miss Dragonfang smiled. "I have a question, I know our…

"Uh? Lieutenant Dragonfang! What are you doing here?" Uriel said in a daze. "What do you mean? didn't you get the call?" "Call? what call?" Confounded, he looked at his flip phone and there were more than fifty missed calls. After a quick check he noticed that Medusa and Sam had been calling him. "Hello? you still there?" Lieutenant Dragonfang stared at Uriel who had spaced out. "Uh, yes... I... I'm sorry, I always turn off the sound because my phone tends to ring at the most inconvenient…

For a regular person, a hot shower in the morning was just the usual thing, but for Uriel it was a whole new experience. After the pleasant hot shower he found himself on a joyful mood. Morning class and physical training were uneventful and the day progressed until it was time for Uriel to head to work. As soon as he set foot inside the library he was greeted by mister Scofield. "Are you alright young bookworm?" The librarian asked with a concerned gaze. "Yes, I just need to figure out a way to…

After his tiresome endeavor, Uriel found himself tossing and turning on his bed. He was thinking on all the possible ways of using his trait, but making a small utility knife disappear and reappear was almost the same as carrying it like he had been doing up until that moment. 'I need to understand why does my trait only work with my old swiss army knife. If it has to do with how meaningful it is for me it could work on some of my belongings too. I need to find out what else can I make disappear.'…
