I wish I had the time to let it float me into a fluid trance of relaxation. Unfortunately, I do not have that kind of time and as I check my watch I find there are only two more hours before dawn, and my target still hasn’t appeared. I was assured by my contact that my mark would be leaving this location at precisely one am. It is now four am and they have yet to appear. There is one more hour of time until my transporter closes the portal; If that happens I will be trapped here, unable to travel back to my own point in time. Also there is the problem of the approaching dawn; being a vampire, I fare much better at night than during the day. I have been sent here to 399 B.C. in order to assassinate The Queen of the Damned, Isis. She is the mother of my kind, the drinkers of blood and hunters of the night; we are her children born to her in her time of great loneliness. In my own time, 2021, there is a battle for power going on in the darkness a new force is trying to blow the old ways away.
