Sorin gracefully stepped inside. It was odd, but the more he was observed, the more any observers would realize how gracefully he moved. As if each movement of his muscles was intentional. This was a product of both being a vampire that's lived for over a millennia, as well as his particular upbringing. Being a Markov royal he was always subject to a rigorous childhood where perfection was expected of him. Though he escaped that life, the body never forgets.

Sorin looked for a place to sit while also inspecting her decor. She was curious to learn the types of things a woman like Nasuca surrounded herself with. It would be a key indicator in learning what type of person she was.

"I appreciate the hospitality. I am eager to join the guild and meet the other members. Is it possible I can be of any assistance while Im here? It's only fair that I pitch in."

Sorin nodded to Nasuca. Ready to follow her into her apartment. It did feel a bit odd being here. He thought about the myth of vampires needing an invitation and smiled. Using it to reassure Nasuca. She had invited him hadn't she? He wondered if the source of the myth was just coincidence instead of baseless pontifications.

"I am grateful. I hope I don't come off as callous. My magic is a... Touchy subject. I'm not fond of it and would rather not use it if I had the choice. It is partly why I took up swordsmanship and monster hunting." Nevertheless, it is a part of who I am and if I don't at least maintain my mana it could have dire consequences."

"Strange. And with such... Timing." He expressed, with an incredibly dour expression on his face. The recent pain of what had just occurred bleeding into Alasdair's mind... Garruk was upset, and he wasn't sure he could say anything helpful. Relationships were... Certainly not his forte, to say the least.

Garruk sighed, opening the letter. He had no idea who it could have been from, or what it could have contained.

Strangers in a Strange Land

It was a beautiful day outside and Ogistune felt the need to take advantage of it. Usually, it was too cold or the snow was way too hard but now, the snow was quite soft and pliant with the sun giving a nice bit of heat to the land. These were the days she loved more than anything cause it meant she could go to her favorite hot spring spot and relax for a bit.

Her home was in the middle of a vast field with animals grazing along lazily but surrounding them was a heavy, thick forest that shielded them from the outside. The mountains lining the horizons were massive and all encompassing; meeting in the middle to create the valley she lived in with her father. With a huff, Ogi would grab her clothes and start to get them on. Once she put on her kimono and heavy jacket, all pure white, she would grab a small bag and walked out, blending into the background with ease.

She would hurry into the forested mountainside to the hotsprings.

"I do not believe a monster would attack our extremities on purpose. But I am glad you are alright. The felynes that manage the cart. Work hard. Bringing us back to camp after being defeated is a lot of work for them. Or at least it is for me. I've lost on a few hunts. Only to return and try again." He laughed. It seems not even this monster of a man was invincible.

"Though they take out a rescue fee from your quest commission fee. Three knockouts and you fail the quest." In essence, it seemed like a group of hunters get three lives per quest. Afterwards the quest is deemed too dangerous by the guild for the hunters to undertake and are recalled to the village. Making sure to preserve Hunter's lives.

"You are alright to continue?" Garruk asked. Making sure to visibly inspect his hunting partner.

Jace nodded when she mentioned swords. He was proficient in them as well. If that wasn't apparent from him carrying two of them and slaying an Ekimmara right in front of her. He did smile when she mentioned a handgun.

"Well yeah. A handgun is always the choice. It's not like I'm going to hand you an M60 machine gun to deal with monsters!" He laughed at the idea of Pari carrying around a machine gun at night to fight monsters.

"Can you imagine that? Going full Rambo on a griffin? Oh it almost makes me want to try it. I'm sure I could make that work." He was giggling up a storm at the thought of some hunter using heavy firepower to hunt monsters. It went against everything he had been taught about not letting the general populace learn of their existence. But he had to admit the idea had merit.

Tonight was dragging on like always. Every major hunt was like that. So much work, tracking, note taking, double checking to make sure no detail was missed. The man was methodical at the very least. That's what made him good at his job. Usually a thankless endeavor, but it kept people safe.

Tonight's quarry wasn't your usual animal, beast, or any relatively sane creature. The man was hunting a vampire. A lesser vampire to be exact, but one that had been encroaching on a town. It was getting all too comfortable with being around civilians. That made it dangerous. People would chalk it up to a serial killer. It was hard for people to see the truth, and those who did were labeled as crazy. It was easier than accepting the fact that they weren't at the top of the food chain.

The man had been tracking his quarry for two days. Something seemed off about this specimen. It wasn't behaving as it should. This made the man's usual hunting method less effective than it should be. The monster shouldn't be acting this way, it had some sort of secret... Though that didn't make any sense. These things ran on pure instinct, hunt and eat people. Sure they were a little more careful than say a ghoul... But they didn't have a mind, or thoughts. The man jotted his thoughts down in his notebook.

He sniffed the air, smelling a coming storm. He had to act quickly before the rain came down and he lost the vampire's trail. He followed the trail to the edge of town, cursing under his breath. The beast was in town. He had to act quickly or someone else was going to die.

The guild hall was coming into view as it sat high on the hill overlooking the city. The smaller banners gently fluttering in the breeze off the harbor. The faint sounds of a bustling city could be heard the closer they got to the city gates. Taking a deep breath of the crisp ocean air Nasuca couldn’t help but smile while stretching. It wouldn’t be long now until they made it back to the guild hall. “Mmmm it feels so good to be back home!”

It was clear the mage was happy to have returned home. But glancing over her shoulder at the other who’d she’d brought back, Nasuca offered a kind smile. “I think you’ll like it here and in the guild. As busy as it gets, it’s also quite relaxing too.”

[theancientpowerawoken]

Garruk walked solemnly away from the hut as it faded into the distance. The pain and guilt of what he had said was slowing his movements. He didn't move with the same drive and purpose as he always had. He was faltering.

Garruk noticed the owl. He thought it was acting strange for an owl. In his pain it took him a little longer to realize it was looking for a place to land. He held out an arm for the creature. The leather bound gauntlet is a perfect place for the owl. He assumed it was his affinity for The Green that had attracted the beast. As he sometimes tended to do.

Garruk was injured. But he reached into the pack and grabbed a jar filled with a florescent, almost glowing green liquid. He popped the top and drank the contents. The bright green liquid flowing into his mouth and down his throat. His wounds seemed to emit the same green glow as the drink as they became mending themselves together.

By the time he finished the potion, his wounds seemed to have fixed almost all of his wounds. He pulled the jar away with a satisfied gasp of air. "Gah! Tastes like dirt. But it fixes you up. It is a bandaid. Not a replacement for medical care and rest. It will keep you healthy in a fight. Do you have the potions I reminded you to bring? You should drink one if you're hurt."

Garruk looked the smaller woman up and down. Making sure he wasn't injured as well. He fished out another potion from his pack and offered it to her.

Jace nodded as Pari mentioned she was adopted as well. It was nice that her adoption experience was positive. He knew that there were plenty of kids that never got adopted... Or there were horror stories...

"Well, I want something you can actually use to defend yourself or others. What kind of weapon would it be if you couldn't use it? Some people prefer blades, others like bullets. As long as it gets the job done, I don't really have a preference for what others use. Have you ever used a weapon?"

Sorin sighed. He knew that would be the followup question. "My magic works off of swamps and marshlands. I can absorb magic from all of the other areas, but it is at a slower rate. It would be really helpful to know where all the various land types are. Even if they are to lesser degrees. Large hills would work in terms of a mountain. Or a lake or pond for the ocean." Sorin explained as they walked.

He wasn't... Keen on revealing this much to others. Especially about his magic that he detested. But Nasuca was his lifeline while he was stuck here in Fiore. So it seemed to him that he was forced to rely on her... For now.

PERIOD!

If you need someone to talk to, I am always here. I may not always be available, but my door is always open and I will always get back to you when I can.

We will get through this together. Stay strong. This may be a survival game.

I love you all.

The fight raged on between the two behemoths of their respective species. An alpha Royal Ludroth, and a massive human. Both seemed to be getting worn down. Garruk having sustained much less injuries than the monster. The monster charged at Garruk as the hunter readied a downswing referred to as a charged slash.

Just before the creature impacted, Garruk changed stances and bashed the monster with his shoulder. Allowing him to bolster through the blow, and ready himself for an even larger counter attack. Garruk reeled the sword back the tip of it touching the ground behind him. As the monster turned around to face his opponent again, Garruk let his weapon fly. Bringing it down onto the monster once, and using the momentum to bring down a second, even more staggering blow onto the monster's head. A True Charged Slash.

The monster recoiled from the impact. Letting out a loud roar. It was clearly injured now. The monster turned around and quickly fled to an adjacent area. The hunt continues.

Garruk was stoned faced, if not a hint of sheepishness in is face. He wasn't sure what to say. But it was clear he had offended her. No, more than that. He had wounded her with his words. As much as he wished to take them back now. It was too late. An apology would be wasted in this moment. But that didn't mean he wouldn't offer one.

"I... see... Come Alasdair. We must leave." His jovial demeanor was gone. And the regret and pain clear from his face and body language. He began gathering his things not wanting to stay longer in the home of someone he had hurt like this. After his things had been gathered, he opened her door to leave.

"I apologize. The man said some things to me, and it made me doubt. I shouldn't have. For that I am sorry. I hope one day you can forgive me. For now, I wish you the best. Farewell... Ogistune."

Jace nodded at her statements. "It was certainly a lot of I'm honest. Things weren't always like this. I had a normal life once. Helping my adoptive mother run her cafe. Can you believe that?" He laughed, following it up with a sigh. "Seems like a lifetime ago at this point. Things were... Simpler, then. But I don't regret the path that I've chosen."

With that he sat up. The color having returned to him and functionality restored. He rotated his arms and stretched what he could. He didn't want to push himself off of the cot yet, knowing Pari would protest. Though he did turn to her. "Well, if you had to choose a type of weapon. What would it be?

Sorin simply nodded at Nasuca. Assuring her he would follow her before turning a smile to Mira. "I appreciate your assistance. If I need help in the future, I'll be sure to find you here." He bowed ever so slightly, it was almost a curtsey, before turning to follow Nasuca away from the guild hall.

The streets were bustling with people. None of which seemed to take note of the man on his first day in the city. For which he was grateful. He preferred the shadows, as both his biology, and magic seemed to gravitate towards. Which brought a question to mind.

"Nasuca, you may find this as a bit of an odd question. But It probably for the best that I inform you ahead of time that my method of magic absorbs mana... I'm sorry, I believe you call it Magic Power here... Anyway, I draw it from the land. And the users like me draw our mana from varying types of land formations. Bodies of water, mountains, wide open plains, forests, and places of death like swamps or graveyards."

He continued, "Would you happen to have a map of the surrounding region or of town? Or could you perhaps procure those for me? It would be a great help in helping me recharge should I need it." He took great care not to mention which type he used.

Sorin sighed. It didn't seem like he would be able to avoid some hospitality. Once again it felt like he was backed into a corner. But for once it wasn't a life threatening situation with his father or his minions. It was from a pink haired woman offering him to stay with her.

Sorin, after a moment of reluctance, seemed to acquiesce. Offering a gloved hand to Nasuca. "Very well. I appreciate the graciousness you've shown. It is appreciated while I get on my feet in this new land."

Garruk grunted an affirmation. He was sure that the smaller Ludroth wouldn't be far behind. They would have to split their attention. Dealing with the smaller monsters... And dealing with the Alpha. Unfortunately Alpha monsters were not in the range of Low Rank Hunter's purview... But they didn't have a choice.

Garruk raised his sword and lifted it behind his back, rearing up for a swing. "Can you handle the little ones? It would be a big help. Focus on the nest then come back for support. Make sure to use potions. Don't cart." He locked eyes with the behemoth in front of him. Funny enough, the size difference made it an even fight. Probably the only thing saving this situation.
