Somewhere, in the Spine, miles away from the Crobhear Portal Stone.
Tracking fae was never easy. Glamours did more than just disguise them, it could erase scent or sound at it’s peak. There were always tell-tale signs but fae, the little insects that they were, could exhibit sudden and rare bouts of genius. This was one of those times. Reika had been hunting after a fae that Orion had deemed to be extrodinary in beauty and magic.
It was hard to trust a man that was intent on collecting fae like some collected butterflies to pin along a canvas and display for all to see. But this man, despite his unsavory eccentricity, gave Reika the tools she needed to handle the swarm of fae that threatened humanity. It didn’t matter if he sent her on a hunt to catch a pixie or a brownie or even a sidhe. Soon enough, the raven haired woman would be hunting the duanann. The day she brought one of those terrifying beasts to Suntory Market would be the day she cemented her own legend.
Forget being a bounty hunter. Hunting the fae was where all the money and glory was at. Reika was going to make a name for herself. But more importantly, she was going to get her revenge, one fae at a time. Not for herself but for everyone who’s life had been taken from them much too soon.
Even if it meant she was currently freezing her ass off while climbing up a rather precarious, rocky hill. Clothed in heavy, thick clothes, it did little to protect her from the biting wind. Her fur-lined hood had been pulled tight up against her face but with the angle she was climbing at and the fierce winds, her hood was flat against her back and shoulders. She only had to climb a little more and then she could seek shelter from the wind and continue tracking the fae that Orion wanted.
Reika had no description of her other than she was beautiful which had always irked her. She was starting to believe that what was beautiful was vile, a ploy used to play with the simple minds of men. Which was why she always got sent to get the pretty ones: she wouldn’t be distracted by their ethereal essence. She continued in hoisting herself up, rock crumbling underneath her boots and falling down, down, down.
