The figure was riding to the city on his back, he had a sword, brown hair was visible from under the hood
He had seen an assignment for his trade two hours earlier, and was here to check it out
He reached the manor of a wealthy family, the guards released him after hearing that he had come on behalf of he went to the host, it was a man with dark brown skin and yellow eyes, next to him was probably a wife with very fair skin, also brown and green eyes
Hello host.
Who you are?
A mercenary from the group of shepherd.
Who they are?
We specialize in monsters.
Oh yes, I remember. You see ...
Chase ...
vamp rages on the cemetery. Could you take care of this?
Are there any witnesses?
My daughter Zuma is upstairs.
Chase climbed the steps to the door at the end of the corridor and knocked on hearing permission to enter
He saw a girl his age with a skin tone between his father and mother, and her eyes seemed golden
Pretty. He thought
Who you are?
Chase of the Shepherd Clan, I just wanted to ask you a few questions. Heard you saw vamp ?
Yes, I saw.
Can you describe her?
It's matter?
Yes.
Okay, she was big, she had big fangs, claws, she was very fast. Well that's enough.
He wanted to leave, but she pressed something in his hand, looked at it as she closed the door behind him, saw a card torn from the book, written hastily: the inn by the port at noon.
He shrugged and put it in his pocket
He went to set a price, after work it was 400 coins plus a bonus for serious injuries In the afternoon
he showed up at the inn, the girl came in equestrian clothes with a hood on her head came up to him and sat down
What is going on? He asked
My father is rich, but you probably don't care how he makes money.
Yes. don't care
Earns money by kidnapping people, burglary, fraud and the like.
Why are you telling me this? He asked,
She grabbed his hand, he couldn't ignore the sparks when she grabbed him
I want to get away from him.
Why?
When the deal goes wrong, he takes his anger out on me.
What about your mothers?
She works with him, she is no better.
Chase never thought he would be in this situation, but he wanted to help her, he didn't know why, but he felt the need to protect her.
I'll help, but he'll kill vamp first. He said with a smile
She was smiling too, which made his heart flutter
He watched the cemetery at night, the striga appeared, she looked as described by zuma, but he forgot to ask about the color of the hair, it was red, which meant mutant vamp
He took out his sword, the golden runes flashed
The beast saw him and attacked
He jumped aside and hit with the tip of the sword the wound was not big, but the magic silver and oil must have hurt
The beast turned to him, and he jumped, Chase raised his hand and moved his fingers
The kinetic blow sent the striga back, she grabbed the tombstone and threw it
This time the fingers twitched in a different order
a ball of golden energy surrounded him, the tombstone scattered on it
The beast lunged at him, jumped up and slashed the beast's leg, then gestured with two outstretched fingers at it
A stream of fire shot out of his hand, burning the beasts as she walked slowly through the fire "Y" mark with his fingers at her appeared on her forehead, she couldn't move, even blink her eyes
Chase stripped her of the head in one fluid movement, took her head, and went to the baron
He entered the courtyard, the baron stood in the middle of the square, and there were many guards nearby
I can see that the work is done.
Yes. Where is my money?
Money and daughter? You think I don't know about your meeting at the inn ?! Get him!
The guards pounced on him, but soon everyone realized it was a mistake
Chase dodged, punched, blocked with inhuman accuracy and speed.
In the end, only the baron was left, and he gave chase, but he used the "Y" sign and then raised his hand and whispered "PYRO" the stream of fire burned the baron
He went inside, found Zuma and her mother in her room
The woman of course attacked him, but he used the "Y" power again, after which the kinetic blow caused her to pierce several walls and flew out into the street, where she was pierced by the blacksmith's mark, which was a sword
Later, he and Zuma left the city, taking as much wealth as he could
So what now? Zuma asked
We will see. Chase said
He felt the zuma hug his back
As long as I'm with you, everything will be fine. Chase smiled at the words
A few years later, they settled in a desert city and had ten children, and no one remembered the massacre in the city where Zuma once lived.
