While taking a break from her last coliseum match, Ayero heard rumors in the bazaar about wildlife attacking people in some of the outer districts of Remano. The news sounded strange to the Fanalis woman. The capital was a sprawling city, its habitat unappealing to most beasts that did not make their home in the sewers or many alleyways. Leaning slightly to one side on her bar stool, she strained to hear the conversation taking place a few seats away without looking too nosey. As she nursed her second glass of ale for the night, she learned from the two men talking a little ways from her that strange beasts had been attacking travelers on their way to and from the city, and had been sighted prowling the streets at night. No one had gotten a good look at the creatures, but the locals insisted that they were not native to these parts. Desperate, the town officials offered a reward for anyone who could stop them.
Ayero had spent most of her time in Remano, making her money from coliseum matches. As much as she enjoyed the thrill of battle, a small part of her began to ache for the life of a wandering swordswoman, taking jobs to slay criminals and strange beasts like the ones being described. Figuring that her next match could wait, Ayero interjected into the conversation to ask where specifically these attacks were happening.
So far, nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Ayero had arrived at the appointed borough, determined to find these beasts and make quick work of them. The Fanalis woman paced along the darkened streets, walking slowly and keeping a careful eyes out. The snake at her shoulder flicked his tongue out every so often, tasting the air and trying to locate and potential enemies. The only odd thing was how barren the streets were—considering the recent attacks, it came as no surprise. Most people kept themselves indoors by nightfall.
Sighing, the Fanalis woman stopped walking and ran a hand through her hair to scratch at the back of her neck. This reminded her of the time in Heliohapt where she stayed up all night in a farmer’s field in Heliohapt, waiting for a pack of rowdy creatures to come by. The man had a similar problem with beasts coming in from the desert and destroying crops. She shuddered at the thought of facing another jackal. Those beasts seemed to cause a lot of trouble in the desert country, at least for her. Just as she was about to resume her patrol, a chorus of low growls emanating from an alleyway caught her attention.
