A Man in Black (Ch.19)

"The wolf lives right here...

In this village....

Amongst us....

He is one of us..."

-Unknown

At the top of a city wall stood a man, dressed in robes as black as the darkest night, a cloak of the darkest black hung over his shoulders, draped over barely visible black robes, the cloak's humongous hood was drawn over his face, completely encasing his visage with shadows.

His stance was regal and commanding, back straight, feet apart and arms crossed firmly behind him. His gaze seemed not to be focused on anything or anywhere in particular, just stared over the towers into nothingness. His form blended so well into the darkness of the night, it would take a keen eye to pick him out, however it was clear that even with the darkness, the man in black saw all.
