Story Title: The Outsider's Favored
In the shadowy alleys of Eldoria, where the moonlight barely kissed the cobblestones, a figure moved with the grace of a whisper. Kolton Weathers, known as The Outsider’s Favored, was a master assassin at just sixteen. With his augmented eye gleaming like a shard of the night sky, he surveyed the bustling market square from the rooftop above, his heart racing with the thrill of the hunt.
Kolton had always been drawn to the Void, a realm of shadows and secrets. His fascination caught the attention of the Outsider, a god who thrived on chaos and cunning. In a fateful encounter, Kolton was bestowed with powers beyond imagination, transforming him into a living embodiment of the Void’s essence. The Mark of The Outsider, a magical tattoo on his left hand, pulsed with energy, a constant reminder of his pact with the divine.
As he prepared for his next mission, Kolton’s mind raced with strategies. He could Blink into the heart of danger, his body vanishing from sight, only to reappear behind unsuspecting foes. With a flick of his wrist, he could unleash Thorns, shadowy darts that would incapacitate his enemies before they even knew he was there. But it was his ability to Displace that truly set him apart; in the heat of battle, he could teleport to safety, leaving chaos in his wake.
Tonight, he was tasked with retrieving a stolen artifact from the clutches of a corrupt noble. The artifact, a relic of the Void, held the key to unimaginable power. Kolton crouched low, his heart pounding as he activated Shadow Walk, blending into the darkness. He slipped through the guards, unseen and unheard, his mind focused on the prize.
As he approached the noble’s chamber, Kolton felt a surge of confidence. He summoned Whirlwind, a gust of wind that sent guards tumbling, clearing his path. With a swift motion, he used Semblance to steal the face of a guard, slipping past the remaining sentinels undetected. The thrill of the chase ignited his spirit, but he remained cautious; the Outsider’s gifts came with a price.
Inside the chamber, Kolton found the artifact, glowing with an ethereal light. As he reached for it, a sense of foreboding washed over him. He could feel the presence of another, a rival assassin drawn by the same prize. With a quick glance, he activated Bend Time, slowing the world around him. In that fleeting moment, he calculated his next move.
The rival lunged, but Kolton was faster. He activated Void Travel, slipping into the shadows and reappearing behind his opponent. With a swift strike, he incapacitated the rival, encasing him in stone with Stone Encase. The artifact was his, but the thrill of victory was short-lived.
As Kolton made his escape, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the Outsider was watching, amused by the chaos he had sown. He knew that with great power came greater challenges. But for now, he was The Outsider’s Favored, a master of shadows, and the night was still young.
