Drathenia had seen the portraits around Union, some artfully capturing moments when she executed the lost that ventured too close for her liking, others simply of her minding her own business. Whoever it was had been careful and clearly dedicated, having taken so many while avoiding her detection. 

Her first instinct upon discovering the photographs was to destroy them, she did not appreciate being observed and stalked. That was her job. But as she examined the one in her hands now, she simply gave a huff before setting it back down. It was then she noticed the bright and sudden flash of a camera, her brow furrowed deeply as she turned towards her secret admirer.

She tapped her cane upon the ground as she walked, keeping alert for any signs of remaining beasts. The hunters had cleared this place hours ago, leaving behind all sorts of messes. Most of the corpses had been cut to ribbons, leaving nothing valuable for study.

The smell of rot was powerful and she regretted that her blindfold cap did little to keep scents at bay. Her cane tapped something visceral, something more solid than the squelching gore beneath her feet. Lifting her cap she found a scourge beast, but it was miraculously intact. Usually the larger the beast, the less salvageable it was. For the hunters fought harder for their lives.

Tightening the laces on her surgical gloves she grabbed the monster’s front paws and began dragging it toward an alley. Sometimes she managed to bring the whole beast back to her clinic, but most of the time she could only salvage bones, or whatever organs remained. Without help these days, that’s usually how it went...

She set to work in the mists and shadows of the alley, the crows taking interest as they always had. But something was...different. She was not alone.

“No, no, NO, Debra.”

Long, slender fingers found their way to temples hidden under dark honey wisps of hair, brushing them and messing from frustration. When starting this job, the man hadn’t expected any Andreas Bocelli to be found but a very minimum of effort or a mere beacon of hope for the school performance to work out in the next week. At that very moment he started to doubt it greatly.

 Elementary schools were troublesome and honestly? The importance of the education of children was probably treated much serious in Union’s community. He noticed more than that but never really cared about it. There were nothing more prior than preparing those little fleshba- khm- children for the performance in front of their parents.

But they did not understand how to sing. The girl he called right before was staring at him, utterly confused. Oh, the activities he could do at home right now... And so far he was there, stuck at that stuffy classroom. The summer sunshines illuminating his old, tired face.

“Lily, may you perform?” He finally asked, the voice distorted from hand brushing the tireness away. This girl was their only hope. HIS only hope. To show how they should manipulate the volume and where to cut. 

The girl of medium, brown hair stepped forward fidgeting the repertoire out of jitters. Her teacher seemed to favour her and the way she was singing. The man sometimes wondered if that would be Lily’s mother to be thanked for that. Perhaps.. this girl had a talent? From the first day blue eyes lied on her, he noticed how she was shining in the classroom. Incredible grades, good form and hand -and now- he got to her her amazing solo for another time.

“That’s how it’s done, ladies and gentlemen. We are ending for today.”

It...doesn’t mean what I think it means, does it?

“Stefano, stop putting your photographs all over my office!”
