The next job Bonnie took was a simpler one. No escorting. No walking with the damned. Her skin still crawled and she wanted nothing more than to scrub her mind clean with the violence afforded to her profession. There was a Full Moon coming. The Hunter’s Moon. Worse things came out when the moon wasContinue reading “9 – Lunatic”

6 – Angler
Bonnie had never really understood the appeal of rusalki. She knew what they were and what they were like: monstrous creatures that existed as corrupted spirits of the water, enticing unwary travelers into the water with them before pulling them down and devouring their flesh. She was aware of them, aware of what they couldContinue reading “6 – Angler”
4 – The Deep Dweller
Of the many, many monstrosities that plagued all parts of this forsaken world, there were some whose names carried more infamy than others. There were those whose names were not spoken, lest they take notice, but they were in rare focus for the Hunters, for such creatures were the purview of the Church. No, theContinue reading “4 – The Deep Dweller”
3 – Geist
Bonnie Mercadi had seen manors before. She was never rich, but she’d seen them. In pictures, in places, in person. The last was rare, but she’d seen them before. Manors were too big.

Chapter 34 – A New Journey
To the surprise of no one, least of all Michael, it turned out taking the motor carriage instead of normal transportation had some unintended side effects, the worst of which being that the stupid thing was–for some reason or another–a practical magnet for monsters of all types. The moment a large boar crashed into theContinue reading “Chapter 34 – A New Journey”
Chapter 15 – Suspicious Occurrences
Michael didn’t expect much from Nassato. It was a province on their way southward towards Gorokiva, and even that wasn’t a stop they especially wanted to make on their trip. Yes, they were aware that the whole matter of their tour was to visit all of the Light Lands, but their underlying mission was toContinue reading “Chapter 15 – Suspicious Occurrences”
Bonus Chapter 5 – The Albino Arachnid
Act 1: A Little White Spider Bleakclaw Mountain had a reputation in the Dark Lands. Plenty of mountains did, because mountains were where dungeon cores absolutely loved to plant themselves, but Bleakclaw was well known for playing host to one of the deadliest dungeons on the entire continent, one that had spread throughout the entireContinue reading “Bonus Chapter 5 – The Albino Arachnid”
