Just another regular day - running around nearly empty streets as a morning routine.

I wonder what I should have for breakfast today…

Bump!

As my mind trails get filled with random thoughts I accidentally brush by a stranger. And what a weirdo - wearing some red hooded cloak that fully hides his face.

“I'm sorry” - I shout as my jog continues, that weirdo did not respond, but I just slightly touched him.

Feeling some concern I turned around to see him lying on the ground. Panicking I turn around and backtrack my way to a lying figure.

On closer look he seems to be praying… and there’s some weird red glow coming out of him?

“Umm. Excuse me, do you need any help ? Should I call 112 ?”

He looks at me and starts praying even harder, his voice seemingly scared. Thinking he's telling me what to do I lean in closer to listen in.

“Brothers and sisters I repeat His incarnation appeared on London street avenue, requesting backup… Oh Lord protect me”

What a weirdo, I really should call 112. Though why is my head in pain so suddenly?

*Pop!**Pop!**Pop!*Pop!

Suddenly I hear weird noises nearby - looking around I see more red hoods appearing - some of them holding bows, others with swords on their waist, some have floating books following them.

As I stay still, not realising what’s going on there I hear a shout behind me.

“Oh Lord, grant me the strength to bind this vile eldritch spawn. Red Chain of Light”

Somehow my body gets really tense and my vision blurs and I see red chains appearing and moving towards me. I glimpse other red hoods shouting and aiming at me too.

Panic kicks in as I start running and my headache worsens - it’s like there’s something growing on top of my head - feeling around. I hurt my hand and started bleeding as somehow I have 2 horns growing now… .

It's not only horns, I'm somehow super fast right now and my speed is rising - I see buildings quickly flash by me as if I`m in a car.

“Oh Lord, help us trap this vile creature, Red Domain”

I thought I outrun them, but I somehow still hear them - or are my senses getting better too? I`m somehow becoming relaxed as well as I feel my strength still growing.

*DUNK!”

Suddenly a red wall of light blocks my path as I crash into it. Trying out my newfound strength I punch as hard as I can.

Crack!

The wall cracks - but starts healing - behind it I see another identical wall.

Having a bad premonition I turn around seeing even more red hoods closing in on me - there’s already a thousand in sight and more keep popping in.

I see lots of them chanting the same barrier spell I heard before and others chanting some sort of group attack spell, while far in distance I see legions of archers and warriors running closer.

Zap!

Somehow instinctively I raise my hand and a similar barrier forms around me, blocking whatever appeared to threaten me though this one is not red, but pure black.

Suddenly memories come flooding in - I suddenly know what I am, who those people are and why they want me dead. Though I do not worry in the slightest as my strength is nearly recovered and those red clowns do not seem to be strong.

I see a complex magical array in the sky - it looks like they’re trying to summon their so-called “Red Lord” to aid them.

Deciding to let them do so I feel nostalgia from the symbols. It looks like my old friend is coming and we might finally resolve our conflict from aeons ago.

I smile as my power flares up.
