۞ The morning looked promising for the young Synnekar; already taking a journey flying across towards the Warrens. Aurelio had been assigned a bounty to hunt an unknown creature; It was said to be picking off traveller's in their sleep. It was also clear that he was to meet an unknown contact at the area. It frustrated him not knowing what sorts of dangers he was facing. It could've been a trap; sent by any bandit or Avialae poacher in the city. However, usually cases like that were checked and intercepted heavily by the law.
However, it appeared that his mind was not in the same place. Ever since he met the Kathar two days ago; he hadn't been the same. Aurelio had been suffering from insomnia for the past two days, leaving him unable to focus; what was worst was he lashed out at a few slayers, leaving him to do his work alone. He pushed himself often; maybe far too much that he would exasperate himself.
He kneeled down into a bush as he used it as a spot to hide. however; he didn't know the creature. They could've been visually enhanced to look out for their prey. It was highly unusual for him to hear such a scream, but he sensed that it was calling for help as he ran along the crystal roads, only to find the two bodies of travellers nearby, followed by the corpse of the large bird creature; which appeared to have had a saddle on it. It was clear one of the travellers used it to ride. He sighed.
"Today is gonna be a long day..."
He had a lot on his mind; firstly the emotions from the Kathar's embrace left his senses dull. The aftermath of feeling flushed; accompanied by bouts of exhaustion, wearyness and yet a hint of crippling depression. There were more pressing concerns; finding his unknown contact. It was getting late; the peak time of when the creature manifests themselves. It was described as nothing but a black mass; or traveller's would say. This could be anything; a mage playing tricks or something that takes a darker yet sinister turn. It was up to Aurelio and this unknown contact to investigate.
