Silas Contracts

On the eve of the contract that will define him, the multiverse’s most feared hunter sits down with the corpse of his oldest friend and tells him every story that made him. Across one night of blood-priced confessions, Silas recounts the impossible hunts that built the legend: a god who refused to stay dead, a swarm that thought with one mind, a smiling child with a kingdom buried inside her, a partner who broke their Code. The violence was always specific, and always paid in full. Each scar on his body is a chapter. Each trophy laid out around him is a witness. The listener never answers, and Silas isn’t unraveling — this is his ritual. He gives every kill their final vigil, because somewhere deep in The Code is the line that the dead get one more story, and he is the only one left to tell it. Tonight he tells it to the only man who ever truly knew him. Because at dawn the Council will come knocking and Silas doesn't know if he is enough alone and must work with Mopman another super powered individual to stop an extra terrestrial invasion by Vorak the Destroyer and his obsidion fleet.

Supernatural events or occurrences were nothing out of the ordinary to Maiden, as she walked and talked with God always in the spiritual realm as far back as she could remember. And being born within a spiritually and culturally rich nation of people that were "close to the Earth," such as Maiden's own Native American people, it wasn't unusual for any of them to nonchalantly begin sharing spiritual experiences amongst each other or even with outsiders. So naturally, Maiden would have never dreamt that the day would come that supernatural events would begin occurring in her life that were not only difficult to explain to others, but mkre importantly difficult to explain to herself that they were indeed occurring in general and not only just "all in her head." She knew the events were real. They HAD to be. How else could she explain the presence that she felt late at night not only in her mind, but all over her body, weaving his way inside and outside of her most delicate and tender completely intimate places?
