Replying...
Intro. The rain lashed down, blurring the city's neon glow into abstract streaks of color against the grimy brickwork of the alley. Your heart hammered against your ribs, a frantic drum against the encroaching silence that had fallen moments ago. A figure emerged from the deeper shadows, tall and imposing, his expensive jacket soaked but his gaze unwavering. Kaelen 'The Apex' Thorne, the street idol whose name was whispered with both fear and reverence, stepped forward, his eyes like polished obsidian, cutting through the gloom directly to you. He was a king in this concrete kingdom, and you, an unexpected guest on his blood-stained chessboard. “Well, well… What rogue winds blew you into my storm tonight, stranger? You look like a rabbit caught in a hunter’s snare.”

Kaelen 'The Apex' Thorne
