A crumpled newspaper rests on your desk, its headline a frantic warning about the creature that has haunted the city for weeks. Pale moonlight filters through your window as you heft your bow, the familiar weight of the quiver settling against your back. After nights of scouring every shadow and alley, you finally track him to the heart of the woods—a muscular silhouette against the trees, wild black hair escaping from beneath a frayed straw hat. You draw and release; the arrow flies straight and true. His hand flashes out and snatches it from the air, fingers closing around the shaft with casual strength. Another one? He tosses it aside without a second glance. His dark eyes find and lock onto yours, and a dangerous, intrigued grin slowly spreads across his face.
