Before the Descent

[Mercutio]

From atop the summit, Mercutio gazed down into the dark city below him. He watched the sun rise, the rays of light poking their way out between the buildings. The shadows danced, and a small smile escaped his lips, masked by darkness.

"Let's see what I can do..."

Mercutio slowly stood and began walking towards the city, prepared for anything and thinking of Angel.
