He slightly felt Lazule bumping at his back and grumbled silently. If she was this distracted already, she might end up more as a liability in the hunt rather than an asset. Yet, he knew better than most not to hand judgments out preemptively. "Yes." Thane replied amidst the loud barking of...

"If I didn't hear well, I would've been long dead." Thane said still with a twisted smirk. "That said, does your mother know of your musical ambitions?" If she hadn't, Thane wished to be there to see Ariawyn's reaction to such news.

The monster hunter took the parchment and settled it safely within an inner pocket of his leather armor. Used to working alone, Thane realized he had been taking much of the initiative despite this being a two-man contract. Out of pure pragmatism, he preferred it that way - after all he trusted...

Thane glared at the figures showing up ahead on mounts of their own. His enhanced vision revealed they were humanoid but all the furs and leathers they donned covered their features. However, their sheathed weapons were as bright as day. In a land where he was a foreigner and naively took on...

A shit-eating smirk curved on his face and Thane wasn't giving up that easily. "Interesting." he said and looked away nowhere for a few moments as if he had absolutely believed her. Case closed. Frogs chirped. An opossum shuffled through the thicket. "Yet, you did say you travel alone..." he...

Thane wasn't sure what was worse - getting ripped off with the reward of a monster hunt or being forced into a masquerade if wanted to see a coin of his remuneration. He had evaded Alliria for the last few years as most monster hunting jobs were taken by Templars or even the Allirian Guard but...

Thane thanked his dark magic mutation for preventing the redness of an embarrassed blush shape on his face. While he had fell on his backside and managed to simply stab one other madly charging ghoul, Valerie had performed a sword dance, not very different from the agile way monster hunters...

He covered himself with the additional fur silently, a slight nod as a thanks to the Nordenfiir. Thane expected it to be frigid, but not an ice age. Even if his dark magic enhancements that branded him a mutant in the eyes of many was not enough to guard him, he wondered whether a normal human...

Apparently, Arnor, son of Skuldsson, was not going to simply back off from finding the answer to his initial question. He didn't recall Nordenfiiri being so curious. "The continents have become more dangerous than before." Thane explained coarsely. "In my line of work - you adapt or you die."

Didn't look like the weather could get better. Only worse. He adjusted the thick fur of a cloak he wore on his back. "It's superior." Thane replied laconically.

Leaving the study was a relief for Thane's ears. He'd prefer fighting strigas for the rest of his life rather than succumbing to that bureaucratic disease of a life. The monster hunter listened intently to the Count's words as he described the contract's details. When he mentioned the percentage...

Thane listened to her as he continued looking for more clues until she called him, a certain tension in her voice. He stood up and walked over to her. The monster hunter pieced together what she had found out and his head raised ahead towards the trail of blood leaving the ghoul's nest. His...

The turn on the junction had led them into a less traversed road among willow trees, thick grass and moss, along with the softer ground, implied the existence of a swamp along the road. The rotten smell of decaying plants and poor drainage filled the troupe's noses. Thane sat at the back of...

Thane looked around for any other semblance of a mount he could use. Nothing. He mounted up on the rear of the horse and grumbled. "Just go." Cocksucker.
