Thus the dawn came, both sun and moon continuing their eternal dance. Walking on the muddy side of the road, the hunter found that the mud penetrated into her shoes, turning her socks into cold, mushy shells of their former selves. However, as the dawn turned into morning light, she found no more reason to subject herself to this torture.

Stepping onto the gravel road, she stopped only to swap her filthy sock for a fresh pair. Quickly continuing her slow chase, she began to ponder if her prey moved off the road sometime during the night. No, Kris thought to herself. I bet she thinks she lost me. That would explain why she suddenly took the road. I’ll just follow this to the next town and ask around. ‘Lady Eyes’ is going down, it’s just a matter of time.

Birds began to sing in the trees of the forest road as the morning dew disappeared, rays of light bounced off the water to create a spectacular scene. Fatigued from an entire night of chasing, all these details failed to register with Kristina, her focus split between staying awake and walking. “I’ve got to keep going,” she spoke softly as she shuffled forward.

Her eyes grew heavy and she found her motor skill deteriorate as the minutes ticked by slowly, mocking her. Yet, she continued her trek to find and destroy the vampire. She would not allow it’s blood-sucking reign of terror continue. So long ash she could breathe, and blood pumped in her veins, she would not yield to the shame of defeat.

Suddenly, out of the haze of her sleep-deprived eyes, she saw several small buildings beckon to her. Smiling at the thought of rest, her mind memory finally kicked in again, reassuring her the vampire would be in this town due to the bright, cloudless sky overhead. A plan quickly formed in her weary brain as she stepped into the village limits; she would camp out on top of a building and rest there while waiting for night to fall. When ‘Lady Eyes’ came out to resume her activities, she would lie in wait and catch her by surprise.

Looking for a place to camp, the woman wandered into the town market to buy some food. Since the Great Famine ended, food became much easier to grow.

“Hey, did you hear,” muttered a village to their friend over the buzz of the market. “They say this performer, ‘Lady Eyes,’ is going to perform tonight at the Blue Moon. From what I’ve heard, she’s really, really talented.”

Brilliant, Kristina thought to herself. I’ll just find the Blue Moon, which I assume is a bar, and set up camp near there to get her! With a new strategy formed, she promptly left to find the Blue Moon Inn. To her great amusement, demon hunter only stepped down the road for a couple of minutes before finding it. “Finally, some luck!” Kris exclaimed. Stepping into the ally, she hopped to the roof of the building opposite the inn.

Perched upon the black shingles of the store, the demon hunter laid down upon the warm surface. Pulling a light blanket out from her rucksack, she pulled it over her to block out the sun. Coupled with her fatigue, the hunter quickly fell asleep upon the roof of the building.
