While the werewolf looking creature (or Beast) in the clinic didn't cause the Hunter too much trouble, especially when they figured out how to operate the buzzsaw device and that said device could attach to the head of the mace. The Hunter wasn't sure what to expect when they exited the clinic. Having to cut down a trio of obvious madmen who were trying to kill them in order to not die a second time was not one of the things that the Hunter expected. The same could be said about the rather large mob of madmen in the square. They may have gotten stabbed in the gut by pitchforks, gotten shot at, smacked in the face with rocks (and wooden shields), slashed across their back and bitten by rabid dogs, but the Hunter eventually managed to make their way to the Great Bridge of Central Yharnam.
Cautiously walking across the Great Bridge, the Hunter couldn't help but feel as if they were being watched by… something, not knowing just how right they were as not long after they had left the Hunter's Dream, something followed them into the Waking World. And that something, or rather someone, was the winged humanoid Great One perching on top of a rather flat rooftop known as Fauna, who had gotten irritated at the Hunter for ignoring her and the Doll, not really listening when the Doll said something about the Hunter lacking the necessary Enlightenment (or as some of the previous Hunters and other humans had and still did call the phenomenon: Insight) to properly grasp the Truth regarding Fauna and the Doll in an attempt to stop the winged humanoid Great One from following the Hunter, which unsurprisingly (for the Doll) made the Hunter unable to properly perceive the two of them. Unable to register them as what they Truly were.
Despite being quite irritated at the Hunter, Fauna could (albeit begrudgingly) admit that they were quite the proficient fighter. Pulling away individual members of crowds, gaining their attention by throwing pebbles at them and taking them down one by one. Even if they seemed to have a habit of hoarding a lot of the various items they picked up from the madmen, particularly the Quicksilver Bullets and the Vials of Healing Blood… not that Fauna had room to talk as she was just as much of a hoarder of those items as the Hunter. While Fauna herself didn't technically need to use Vials of Healing Blood and Quicksilver Bullets, they certainly did reduce her need to push her regenerative abilities and her need to craft ammunition for her own firearm out of her blood, a special pistol featuring the ability to switch between a short to medium ranged 'true pistol'-mode and a 'near-point-blank' to short ranged 'shotgun'-mode via a special mechanism and a flip of the wrist, causing the respective modes' barrels to rotate. Gehrman, who was the one who made the pistol on something of a whim, called it the Devil's Handcannon and the name partially stuck around after Fauna started using it, who decided to officially name the gun: the Devil's Breath. While the Devil's Breath was a rather versatile gun, the 'Devil' in its name mainly stemmed from two factors, the first being its variable firing modes (which was also where the 'Breath'-part of the name came from). The second one was its heavy recoil, causing the Devil's Breath to hit the shooter (most of the time in the face) without the sufficient strength to counteract its recoil far too easily.
The winged humanoid Great One was pulled from her thoughts of reminiscence by the sound of a very loud shriek of a massive Beast leaping over the wall separating Central Yharnam from the section of the city known as the Cathedral Ward. And the Beast wasn't just any oversized mutant creature but one that was rumored to once have been a member of the Yharnam clergy and the Healing Church. The Cleric Beast. Releasing another shriek and a yell of determination respectively, the Cleric Beast and the Hunter engaged each other in the dance of death, mercilessly trying to smash its predator with its oversized right arm and just as mercilessly chipping away at their prey's flesh with their buzzsaws-on-a-stick respectively. After a few minutes of simply watching the two dance partners, Fauna started to get the feeling that the dance of death was starting to reach its climax and that said climax would be the best time to properly introduce herself to the Hunter. Standing up from the rooftop of the building she had been watching the fight from, the winged humanoid Great One proceeded to stretch her limbs out, including her wings, causing said limbs to emit popping noises. Picking up her Funeral Falchion from the rooftop and transforming it into its scythe-mode, Fauna spread out her wings wide before taking to the skies with a strong flap of her wings, briefly forming a silhouette resembling an angel of death with the setting sun of dusk against her back. Readjusting herself, Fauna turned her rapid ascent into forward momentum and prepared herself to swing her weapon once she got close enough to the fight to separate the Cleric Beast's head from its neck.
