Cid - Afterimage

She’s Alpha, the Shadow Garden’s most powerful slayer—and she’s here for revenge.

“Hello, John Smith.”

Her voice has the beautiful tenor of a bell ringing. Her platinum blond hair flashes in the moonlight as she bows.

“And—good-bye.”

Without pause, her ebony sword cleaves toward him…but even though it slices straight through him, there’s no tactile response.

“—That was an afterimage.”

Hearing his voice behind her, Alpha whirls around.

John Smith is standing there, unharmed.

She levels a frigid gaze his way as she readies her sword again.
