Claymore: The Seer's Revelations
Prologue
The sun scorched the desert land outside as two men in black cloaks conferred in a rock building cut out from the Cliffside. Wind and sand blew in from the arrow slit windows as the leader of the organization gave the hooded man his new orders.
"The mainland has not been very . . . Cooperative with us lately. We must remind them of why we're here."
The hooded man gave an unseen smirk and replied in a harsh whisper-like voice, "so what would you have me do, Rimuto-Samma?"
"Take ship to the mainland and loose a yoma on the port town of Shiro. Spread death and destruction and make it impossible for our associates on the mainland to ignore. We will remind them of the threat that the Dragon Descendents pose to us!"
Rimuto shifted angrily on his seat and banged his fist onto the stone throne's armrest. He took a deep breath to get his temper under control, and then said more calmly, "you are dismissed."
The cloaked man didn't move. He cleared his throat and said, "what about any survivors?"
Rimuto's face became cloaked in shadow as a cloud blocked the sun's rays from entering the room. His thin, wispy hair circling the crown of his head looked like the thin fabric of a burial shroud and his wrinkly forehead looked like it had been covered in a thick plating of leather. He looks similar to the monster that he wanted to send to the mainland, but he claimed to be fully human.
"I don't expect there to be any survivors," Rimuto calmly replied. "But if there is one, then you can have her, I suppose. You have another experiment in mind, don't you, Dae?"
"Oh yes," Dae rasped. "One that can deplete the number of betrayals to the organization."
