Tonight he had made use of it by staying later at the Destiny City Library so that he could read a couple of extra chapters of the book that he had spent most of the afternoon engrossed in.
Unfortunately turning thirteen had been no barrier to motherly ‘fussing’ and so Briar was in full coat, scarf and hat get-up as he walked back home from the library, hands stuck firmly in his coat pockets as he walked down the evening touched streets.
He was passing across the mouth of an alleyway when he heard it - some sort of weird noise - coming from somewhere further down. Like… Like a cross between a growl and a hiss. Weird noises in his experience were things that weren’t good and so there was nothing for it but to find somewhere where he could turn into superhero mode without being seen.
One fancy magic light show later and it was Oort half-walking and half trotting down the alleyway where he had first heard the noise.
Vesale
Hope this works as the promised start Vesale - let me know if anything needs changing. Also apologies for the double quotes
