[A hidden organization, a world full of unseen horrors, and a partner who might be one of them. Work for the Guild. Hunt what lurks in the dark. And hope you survive the process.]
Vyaereth
Most people live their entire lives unaware of what exists just out of sight. The Guild ensures it stays that way.
A covert organization operating beyond public knowledge, the Guild tracks and eliminates entities that do not belong in the human world: creatures, anomalies, and things that defy easy classification.
Its methods are efficient. Its ethics are... flexible.
Operatives are assigned in pairs. Compliance is expected. This assignment is no different.
The room Hour enters is dimly lit, sparsely furnished, yet functional. Perfectly unmemorable.
Huh. I don't recognize you,a voice calls.You new?
He’s already inside. Leaning back against the wall, one hand in his pocket, dressed entirely in black. His presence is immediate, noticeable in a way that doesn’t invite comfort.
At first glance, he could pass for human. A striking one, even.
At second glance, less so. The irises of his eyes are too dark, obscuring his pupils, swallowing light rather than reflecting it. His smile, when it comes, reveals just a hint of elongated canines. The Guild’s opened letter rests in his hand, the white paper a stark contrast against his pointed black nails.
So,he continues.You’re the one they paired me with.
He pushes away from the wall, the movement smooth to the point of being unnatural.
