The Huntress listened to the conversation inside the House Onryo estate via the chimney within the study. She had moved much closer than initially planned when a lightshow of crimson red and deep purple clashed within the mansion’s windows. Even from her vantage point several streets over she could hear the horrid howling wind.

It wasn’t until the bright white flames that she realized just what was going on inside the house.

She had heard the guard talking of sigils but without confirming such things for herself, she didn’t believe it. Now, now she believed. Oh she believed all right, just like she now actually believed the Sightless Cult was in the city.

She had shrugged at the time, thinking that it was more likely a wannabe copycat group—not the real thing. Oh how she berated herself for being wrong. It was the boys, she declared, their odd decisions and behavior had gotten to her.

She almost laughed at the thought. The Huntress was well accustomed to chasing murderous Witches. She had long found her natural talent for thinking like a criminal. She had long learned her knack and paved her path through life making the most of it.

Who’d have thought that three boys would make her second guess her instincts, plain as day evidence, and herself.

Once confirming that the one named Glenny and the other, Leland, were fine, the Huntress took to the streets thinking over the conversation she eavesdropped on.

They were connected, she replayed in her head. What the hell does that mean? Some sort of blood ritual? Maybe a binding spell?

She groaned, finding the sewer entrance Glenny had frozenat hours ago. A bow appeared in her left hand while a yellow spark appeared in her right. She stared at the sigil, finding its contours carved across the walls and floor.

Again she berated herself. She’d never have found this on her own. Well, that wasn’t quite true. She’d have followed the drunkard and reached the sewers as well, but she wouldn’t have been affected by the sigil. The Sightless Kind would have hidden itself well, allowing her to investigate the entrance without interference.

But a helpless young rogue? Now that was prime pickings.

With a flash of yellow, the sigil was scrubbed from this world.
