The sun finally set over a sweltering African city, leaving tounges of fire draped across the sky. Deep in the steaming suburbs of the city was a warehouse, The warehouse was old and dilapidated, the roof had collapsed in several places. Nobody knew who owned this building, nor were there any goverment records, no building recipts, no ownership record. As far as anybody knew it had always been there.2

Inside this building sunlight streamed through the holes in the roof, illuminating the inumerous motes of dust floating in the air. As the last remanants of the sun sank below the horison, plunging the warehouse into darkeness. Lithe shadows detached themselves from the walls and formed into two groups. Suddenly an unearthly howl split the air and the two sides lept at eachother. More screeches peirced the air as the two foes wounded eachother. Out of nowhere sprang a huge stream of fire. A spark landed on a dusty old crate. Instantly was ablaze. Within minutes the whole warehouse was wreathed in flames. A final howl echoed across the city. The shadows dispersed as quickly as they gathered.4

Moments later the only sound was the crackling of flames against the cool night sky.6
