*News had spread among the remote regions of Salvania of multiple caravan attacks. That in itself wasn't unusual for an empire as vast as Salvania, there were bound to be bandits raiding caravans here and there.*

*But the cause for concern was that it wasn't bandits responsible for the lost caravans. Rumor had spread that wild feline monster had taken the woods as its territory, and every single convey that travels through it had been killed. It was said that the bodies were found with chunks missing that were larger than their heads and that the footprints were as wide as a man's chest. But that is what the rumors said at least, and rumors are bound to be exaggerated. Right?*

*It would seem at the very least a certain village chief did not think so. He had sent out a request for skilled hunters to come and take care of this potential predator, and it would seem you two had accepted the job. As you two walked toward the specific location from the notice board you would see an elderly grey haired macen in simple farmer's clothing. He would have a serious look on his face as the two of you approached as he motioned for the two of you to stop*

"I assume you two are the hunters that accepted my request? I can't tell you how grateful I am. It seems everyone wishes to remain ignorant of the plight we are in. I was losing hope that anyone would take the job..."

*He would then look over the two of you, as if trying to measure you up and make sure you two were actually capable hunters*

"I guess we are. Names Kibaru Tsuyoi." *He said before bowing a little. His odachi shifting a little on his back as he did so. He then stood up straight and shifted his weapon back a bit, his other visible weapon would be his bow around him, dangly. His light armour would suggest he tends to hunt more then battle, but his weapons would seem capable enough* "I would like to know more about our prey and reward"

*His bright blue tails behind him would sway side to side, his ears rotated some and he gave a few sniff to the air around him. His clothes seemed a bit teared around the rims and his lower legs and feet were wrapped in cloth. His look suggested he was a more wild character and maybe even a little reckless*

*The young man appeared to be a Macen, hair the color of a ravens wing with the same sheen, streaks of silver throughout. A jagged scar crossed his face, accompanied by a great swath of scarred tissue on his neck. Didn't seem like he slept much of ever, either. A furred cloak was draped over his armor, a spear and bow hung upon his back. Ishikawa seemed to be qualified.* 

"Yes, that would be the case. My name is Saito, Ishikawa. 

*Ishikawa was more put together than Kibaru was, though old blood stains took a good amount of space on his armor. He seemed young, but had clearly been through a great deal.*
