He awoke to the scent of the sea and he found himself completely alone, the sky was darker now, it couldn't have been more than a few minutes perhaps hours as the sun had yet to completely set.
He heard the sound of the church bells ringing meaning that another hour had passed, but unfortunately for him, he didn't know what time the bells rang for the city.
The laughter of children began once again and he quickly got to his feet, unfortunately, whoever or whatever had attacked him had taken his pistol, but conveniently left him with his sword.
Unfortunately, all of the crystals he had been given when he left the castle were missing, and even the bottle that had the fire in it, was...on the ground next to him, the fire inside it burning brightly.
"Why had it and his sword been left behind?" he thought to himself as the children's laughter grew in intensity.
He quickly graved the bottle and ran towards a nearby alley, and he nearly stopped running when he saw his reflection in a window.
It had only been for a moment, but he had seen his eyes glowing, the way they glowed made appear to be on fire.
He placed himself behind a pile of trash and placed himself close to the alley wall and listened to the children's laughter grow.
Once again he watched as the children emerged from the statues and his eyes widened, those things weren't children, no those things were some sort of monster, no, a lure something used to attract prey.
"Roar!" an unholy beast roared as it leaped onto the plaza and he found the knight that it had been the same beast along with its rider.
'Now!" the girl ordered as the beast let out a how that chilled him to his very core.
The children immediately let out a shriek in response to the threat of the creature and he listened to the two beasts begin their duel.
Try as he might, he couldn't will himself to move, as the every primordial instinct of survival told him that he was nothing more than food for either beast.
He watched as something broke through the stone house and landed next to him, and to his surprise, he found that it was the young girl wearing the white knit armor.
She nodded to him as their eyes locked, then quickly got back on her feet and returned to fighting the beast.
"Momy help me!" he heard the children screamed all at once before blood spilled onto the plaza
.
He didn't know how long he had hidden in the alley until he felt that it was safe enough for him to come out, yet as he did he found the girl talking to someone that wasn't there.
"Yeah, I killed the big one but we need to do something bout the boss before we start searching the houses," the girl said asher beast devoured a massive corps of something he hadn't seen before.
He watched as fire seemed to spread from the girl's sword and burn the blood at her feet.
The fire began to spread as if the blood itself was acting as fule for it.
"You're lucky you're alive," she said to him
"Your stuff is over there," she said to him before taking a pair of bottles filled with potions, from the blood and covered items
"Normally I would keep these things, seeing as your an idiot that nearly died twice now" she continued
"What is it?" He asked her as he watched her beast finish its meal
"...People bleed, those same bleeding people were given the magical blood," she answered him
"That doesn't make any sense" He immediately answered her, as what she had just said left him more confused than before
"You heard kids laughing right? Think about it, this place was a place where kids could play where everyone could see them, and a monster brought or created by spilled human blood" she answered him before jumping onto her beast
"Do me a favor would you, something to pay me back for saving you twice now."
"You see there's a church not too far from here go ook around and tell anyone of us about what you find inside it. Don't worry once one of us knows something the rest of us will know it too" she said to him before the beast leaped on top of the houses and vanished out of sight
He knew that if anything he should heed the girl's petition after all he did owe her that much, but first, he needed to write down what had just happened, lest he forgets to add it to his report.
][][][][ report entry 1 ]
I have entered the city of Yharnam, however, I find myself constantly being overwhelmed.
First are the illusions at the entrance to the city, which left me completely unable to distinguish things from them to what is going on in the real world.
I have yet to encounter many monsters, yet those that do, seem to leave things touched by the fire of the knights well enough alone. I know this because something attacked me, yet it left the bottle containing the fire and a sword that I accidentally empowered with the contents of the bottle.
I suspect that someone or a group of people have been sacrificing humans to something to enact some sort of ritual.
Judging by the words a knight said to me after she killed a monster.

He graved his head as he walked towards the church, yet he stopped just outside of it, to look at his reflection in one of the church's windows, and to his relief, he found that his eyes weren't glowing anymore.
He heard a loud explosion in the distance and he soon felt the ground shake, as he watched a pillar of fire shoot its self into the sky and he suddenly felt an agonizing pain spread inside his head.
He had to use all of his will to stop himself from graving his head because of the pain.
Yet he was glad he hadn't closed his eyes in an attempt to alleviate the pain because he noticed several of the knights jumping from building to building and heading towards the pillar of fire.
Whatever the pillar was, he guessed it must have been either a kind of distress signal or some sort of weapon, judging by how the knights reacted to it.
Still, he knew that for the moment he both lacked the skill and weapons needed to be of any use in a fight, so he decided to enter the church, however as he approached the entrance to it, he noted its size and knew that this was a place of worship but it wasn't a church.
It was or is a cathedral, meaning that a Bishop ran it, he understood two things from this, on one hand, the girl that asked him to explore the building either wasn't particularly caring about religion or she simply didn't know the difference or perhaps she didn't care because of her duty was much more important for the moment.
Even before he entered the cathedral he could smell the lingering scent of spices in the air as they were being burned, yet as he opened the grand doors leading into the cathedral he found that it was empty with only a few candles burning here and there.
"Hellow," a man said to him as he walked in
"Where is everyone?" he asked the man who was kneeling on the floor making sure that the spices burned
"I'm the only one, there were once many that came here to worship and pray but there all gone now," the man said with a sad tone in his voice
"Tell me are you a hunter?" the man asked him
"Yes and no" he answers
"I...I see. Can I ask you for something, if you can and you find some people that remain untouched by the plague or the scourge tell them it's safe here, the spices keep the monsters away" the man said to him as he turned and walked out of the cathedral
He stopped for a moment when a strange horse pulling a carriage stopped in front of him before the carriage doors opened and several women and children quickly exited it and ran towards the cathedral.
There was no one controlling the horse, the beast somehow knew where to go.
"The knights said that this was a safe place," a woman said to him even as the rest of the group ran past them
"I was told the spices keep the monsters away" he answered her and the woman immediately followed aft the rest of the group
As he watched them enter the cathedral, he asked himself whether one or a few of the knights had arrived at the cathedral before him, yet if that was true then why had the girl asked him to investigate it.
Then he remembered the girl's words, "once one of us knows something, we all will know it"
he began to walk again but then a thought entered his mind, almost as if something or someone had placed it there for it was not entirely his own.
How much time had truly passed, because even if the knights had suddenly learned what he knew, how had they gathered a group of twenty people in such a short amount of time?
He stopped walking at the edge of a hilled road and watched the sunset, and he felt the pain spread again, yet it didn't hurt him anymore, no the pain seemed to remove something that shouldn't have been there as it relieved him of some sort of ...
His mind stope working for a moment as he watched skeletal figures emerge from the ground, he began to look around and he noticed his reflection once again his eyes were glowing.
He could see strange creatures looking watching him from a distance, yet he could see red figures inside some of the houses, somehow he knew that these were regular people, how did he know this, of that he didn't know.
He noticed a slight glow on his hip and as he drew his sword he saw the blade burning once again, but the fire was dim and it seemed as if it was about to be put out.
He heard the snarling of a beast and judging from past experiences he believed the sound came from one of the bests that were in alliance with the castle, unfortunately, he was wrong as he turned and saw a decomposing wolf-like being charging straight at him.
He rolled to his left in an attempt o avoid the creature and in an act made up of adrenaline and skill, he quickly staved and slashed away at the creature until; it fell dead.
He felt something pull at his sword and he watched as the sword seemed to drink the blood of the beast, making its fire glow brighter with each passing second.
He had a mission to do, but judging by the things he had encountered, it was better if he made sure that the people in the houses knew about the cathedral and so he began to knock on each door or window.
Some were grateful others told him to go away, it didn't matter if the people died, he just wanted an excuse to tell himself if they ended up dead later on and he wouldn't be forced to ask himself would they have lived had I told them?
He watched over those that listened, most were newcomers that had arrived recently to the city, but there were a few that were natives to the city.
His instincts warned him that the beasts hiding in the shadows were about to attack, yet he listened to them scream as shadows created by fire came and went in a second.
The city was truly being fought over, and each side was trying to lay claim to it.

I know that I have just finished my training and I was given this mission simply because nothing was expected as much, but I hope that what I find can be of some help.
