"By the Blood....why did this have to happen during my day on duty." A scoff was heard from underneath a mask as a man walked down the empty bridge, leading from the City of Life, Hellsalem's Lot to the City of Death, the seed city of Origin. These two cities and their inhabitants were all that remained of life in every Universe that had ever existed. Needless to say, much had happened and the once holy and peaceful city of Origin, the city from which all life had emerged, was now overrun with all manners of beasts and horrors. It was the job of the Hunters and Knights of the Accord to insure that what now lived in Origin, stayed in Origin so that the residents of Hellsalem's Lot could enjoy their blissful eternity.
For that was the other thing, resident of Hellsalem's Lot could never die permanently; their souls would enter a dream like state for awhile before returning to the realm of the Two Cities. That is what enabled the Accord to keep the seemingly endless nightmares of Origin at bay, they just couldn't die forever. This young man, who simply went by Cain, was doing one of the most important if troublesome duties a member of the Accord could do. There were timelines that were still out of sync by destined to converge with the others and from these realms, some greater power seemed to be calling forth heroes to combat the evil that now plagued what remained of the Multiverse. There was just one problem...most of the time the heros would land somewhere in Origin and it was up to the members of the Accord to get them out before they were forever scarred or corrupted by the contents of the city before they were trained.
Cain arrived at the gate to the entrance of Origin and looked up to the guard tower, giving a small nod. He gripped his metal cane in his right hand and pistol in his left; even though they had cleared the outer ring of the city, one could never be sure if a monster had strayed out and it was just always better to be cautious. He stepped through the gate that had slowly opened before him, the squeaking and rattling of the ancient gears ringing in his ears as he crossed the threshold. The gate slowly closed behind him and he didn't move until he was sure it was close; anything that wasn't human wasn't allowed to leave this city alive.
"So, I have two stray sheep to find today, huh?" Cain sighed as he gripped his cane tighter and began to make his way through the streets, hoping to find the two people their sensors had picked up before any beasts did.
