...found his way blocked by the petite forms of two strikingly beautiful young women. Their hair was black and stopped just blow their slightly pointed ears, while their ashen skin was revealed by the intermittent pulses of lightning. Their eyes glowed faintly the color crimson, and they were black corsets and skin-tight leggings that left little to the imagination.

One of the guards, Lazarus assumed, stepped forward and crooked a grin.

"Our Mistress isn't entirely sure of who you are or what your intentions may be," she announced, her voice as cold as ice, "but that hardly matters. You've taken a step too far, I'm afraid, and that step will cost you everything, stranger."

Lazarus tilted his head to the side slightly as he regarded the woman, her aggressive stance, and her not-so-subtle threat.

As the woman moved to close the distance, fangs bared, Lazarus calmly reached into his long coat and palmed a small syringe filled with a luminous yellow liquid. The woman lunged at him, and with careful precision, Lazarus stepped to his right, caught the surprised guard by her neck with one hand while piercing the grey flesh of her back with the syringe nestled in his other hand.

A high of surprise echoed through the corridor as Lazarus removed the now empty syringe and deftly took a step back...

1. The liquid was a form of concentrated sunlight.
2. The liquid was a mutagen.
