The town of Doro was disastrous as far as he has heard, he would spend most of his time in big lands like Allir or Falwood. Those were his types of place. However, he couldn't resist the price of the job. Enough gold coins to keep in him in wealth for around 5 years. All of the other jobs he had taken would pay him to last around a month or two, but THIS was an opportunity he couldn't waste. Besides, it might be interested to see the world outside of his comfort zone. He was a werewolf after all, one that loves to take challeneges... if the reward is good, that is. And the reward seemes MORE than perfect. He read the bounty, the one paper that no one else in Alliria took, apparently, it was a bit too much of a challenge.
The lone wolf took the paper and read it. At first glance, it seemed the common thing: a town in distress needing a shinning hero to save it from destruction, been there, ALMOST done that. A town in war, with a wiinning side and two sides that wants to take them down, maybe a common goal, maybe not, whatever was the case, Jaken couldn't help but to avoid the price reward, that should be interesting. If the reward is that big, then it must be one of the biggest jobs he would ever take. The town's location? All the way to the south. On the Eye of Kiva. No wonder why no one decided to take the job, it was on forgotten lands. Isolated, no one around. In other words, you would be on your own if you go there. Other hunters did not took the job since they had other respnsibilites: friends, family, ACTUAL jobs, none of which Jaken had, this was the perfect opportunity. The boat would sail at the docks, in 3 days, at noon. He must get ready to travel to a forgotten eye.
Day 1 was nothing he couldn't handle, planning his moves, getting as much intel as he could from the civilians around, he asked for more details on the conflict: the emperor of Doro: Percival the Third, had commanded an EXTREMELY strict dictatorship, where if anyone who did not fulfilled his whims, would be executed by hanging in public. Were the whims that bad? You could say that: tax increasement of 50%, no couple can have more than a child -even tough there were space and ressources to spare-, any couple with more than one child will be teared down by taking that one extra child and doomed to be hung in public, the worst of all, in front of their parents. The emperor even stablished a day of praying JUST for him. No gods were a thing in Doro, only that little shit that calls himself an emperor. No one could go out of the town, no matter what. And you might think, if everything is so strict, how did that bounty made it out of the place? Well, the one who placed that bounty managed to get it overseas before being executed.
Just the name made Jaken become annoyed. Percival The Third, little brat, probably raised on a wealthy, selfish family that only cared for the money and who most probably stepped on a million corpses -maybe literally- to get to the position of control.
Day 2: Weapon collecting. He had everything he needed, knives, bolts, special bolts, such as tranquilizers, igniting bolts, exploding bolts, toxic bolts, and everything that he could carry on his belt, the only thing he would do on said days is practice and train both in his human form and werewolf form, jumping from rooftop to rooftop as fast as he could.
Day 3: Time to sail. He was on the docks early and boarded the ship that will take him to Doro and get this over with, he had everything he needed, now... it's time to wait for the best. It should be around 5 days to get there, enough for him to still train and get ready for whatever might come.
-4 days later-
Jaken was sleeping on his room when he was woken up by someone kicking his bed. He found a fat pig man staring him down, he probably needed a bath.. or 5....
Jaken growled at the pig man "What?"
"We are here."
"Bullshit." he layed back down "Captain said it would take 5 days to get there."
"That was before Percy took over. He won't allow anyone near. Now get up, we are throwing you out. You'll be going by yourself, that way they won't detect you. Meet the captain outside, at the front of the boat"
The wolf growled, finally getting out of bed, dressing up and taking his gear. He headed out and went to where he was told to. There he met an old human captain.
"I'm sure you've been told why are you here."
"To throw me out?"
"You could say that. There's a life boat waiting for the two of you."
"What?"
"Your partner."
"Someone ellse took the job?"
