The world was slowly fading to grey, all color slipping away as the last light from the setting suns was sucked down beyond the mountains. All life was slowing and would soon still as the daylight creatures settled for the night. Bodies, both heavy and light, crushed grass or fallen leaves as heads lowered in the darkening forest and sleep arose with the darkness.

However the stillness was nothing but an illusion, the quiet unbroken by those whom the night woke.

But not all of the creatures who slipped through the grey-cast world were nocturnal.

Some were up to no good.
