Chapter 1
Wait by night, hunt by day
So now I sit and I shiver, but it ain’t because I’m chilled. I’m afraid I’ve let the fire grow low and I’m seeing strange shadows amongst the trees and fingers of dread are tapping on my spine.
I am surprised by my fear as it is foreign to me, but I do not grow wide-eyed with such and feel no need to yell or scream. I have been trained, educated, molded and prepared for just this sort of task, and never once had I felt an inkling of fear. But doing is different, and though my tutelage in this field was extensive, I had never faced the foe I was trained to hunt, in this, the real world.
