*So she was free. No longer bound by the vampire's chains, unwilling to use it as a weapon, her fiery determination had allowed her to melt them away, despite the pain it caused. Later that same day, she had restored her limbs, eyes, now back to a shade of violet instead of a bleak white. Katherine could finally look at herself in the mirror, seeing once again her vibrant youth, instead of the gaunt, pale face that she had taken on. She was whole again.*

*But why didn't she feel like it? Despite her leaps and bounds, gritting her way through pain and hardship, pushing through to almost success... She felt empty inside, a hole in her heart.*

*The day she removed her vampirism was her birthday. She was now 25. Katherine had planned to celebrate, maybe go out with some of her comrades. But she just didn't feel it. The macen certainly felt catharsis, but she didn't feel __joy__. What should have felt like the best day in her life didn't have that feeling.*

*As she looked in the mirror, she saw something else had changed. A single streak of gray in her dark hair, a signal of all the stress she had been subjected to over the years.*

*The former vampire needed something to take off her mind. Something she had always done. Hunting.*

*The black-clothed figure rushed through the trees, easily catching up to the owlbear she was chasing. It turned around at her, letting out a screech. All it took was a single Inferno to kill it, wreathing the monster in azure flame.*

*Of course, there were more, screeches in the distance as the blue flame ignited the dark night.*

Two beasts revealed themselves, charging past bushes and towards the mighty warrior that made quick work of their kin. The branch of a tree by her side wiggled, leaves dropping to the ground. As one owlbear passed beneath it, a dark figure plunged from above. It planted two daggers in the creature's face, landing on its back. A loud hiss came from the weapons as blood spilled from the pierced eyes of the creature. It roared helplessly on the brink of death.

The figure seemed masculine. A lengthy dark cloak covered his body, hood falling off from the current his movement caused. His eyes - endless voids, akin to what Katherine would be quick to recognize. A malevolent black aura, coated in a violet force, streamed from his body. His expression was deadpan, staring at his victim like a hawk its prey. The other creature jerked its head towards the assailant, changing its course to the nearest threat.

The stabbed owlbear swung its hands left and right, yet the knives had sunk deep enough to damage its brain. Oddly, it gave in and collapsed - as if that was not the only injury it took. The hunter spun towards the approaching target. He dashed backwards, revealing a curved sword that was dug inside the dead animal. It was held onto by two skeletal hands, engulfed in a hazy violet enigma.

Raging flames in the same color erupted from the handle before spreading across the radiant sword. The man snapped the blade out of the flesh. Its movement trailed a projection of its swing - aimed right for the beast ahead. He shoved his elbow against the infernal afterimage with a terrifying war cry. In response the unnatural cleave clapped like thunder and shot out towards its destination. It was soon going to impale the owlbear ahead.

*The beast hunter turns to face her two new targets; more owlbears. Vicious creatures who were too dangerous to leave alive. Her hands turn blue, prepared to attack either one should they charge at her.*

*What she wasn't expecting was for someone to engage before her. Especially someone unknown.*

*The figure was swift, easily eliminating the first bear through a twin dagger strike. He had an dark aura surrounding him, one that was malevolent, unnatural. This new figure seemed to be an assassin of some sorts. However, what really caught Katherine off was his eyes. They were pitch black; easily recognizable as an advanced Ebony Vampire.*

*It was obvious that the man was powerful. His magic seemed to be easily incorporated into his martial skill. Katherine launches her own arc of energy at the creature, and as it collided, it exploded into a bright display of blue flame, mixing with whatever effect the shadow blade had.*

*A blue aura soon covers Katherine, steel armor soon covering her. A hand is leveled at the newcomer, glowing a brilliant azure.*

"Hey! Who are you?"
