“Hpmh.”. Alaric pouted as he approached the end of the shaded ally he had been traversing. He hated the streets of the city. Orchidia wasn’t that big compared to other cities in Fiore. It was much more floral so to speak. Trees wove throughout the city, many making their homes within its bark. Still, there were enough people here that made Alaric’s skin crawl a bit. He leaned for a moment to the side of the building, who’s shadow he had been taking refuge within. He looked from the shadows towards a cluster of Rune Knights and other local officials. He hated the Knights. Never cared to work with them or near them. Since he had been promoted upward in the guild, thanks primarily to Salem’s sweet words and Lumi’s mentorship, he had been working more and more with the authorities and less so with just Steve the baker or Molly the Miller.

Deciding that he could not lurk any longer, Alaric stepped from the shade and crossed the street towards the party. Alaric was not dressed poorly nor was he flashy in any manner. He wore a hunter’s green tunic with a pair of dark black jeans. The warm weather might be quickly approaching but up here in the mountains it still stayed a bit cooler than one might like. Not that Alaric had to worry thanks to his innate wolf self and natural affinity towards fire magic.

As he approached, one of the knights turned towards him and held up his hand. “Stop citizen, this is an active crime scene. Please, find an alternate route.” Alaric’s brow furrowed as he came to a slow stop. Before he could give the knight any lip, one of the local authorities sidestepped him. “Mr. Alaric I presume? Master Yuurei wrote that he would be sending one of his rising stars.” The man wore a kind smile, one that seemed actually genuine.

Alaric was taken aback by the man’s kindness. It seemed his subordinate was as well as he lowered his hand and grew a sour expression. Alaric shook the man’s hand while glancing sideways towards the spoiled knight. “Pleasure’s mine, Inspector Nilan.” He walked side by with the inspector as they walked over to the crime scene. Alaric listened to the man give some interesting facts on the subject that was killed and the time of the day. He listened but his mind was also focused on the scent of the space. It was a highly trafficked road. Lots of scents were going on here. As the inspector finished filling in Alaric, he stood back letting the wolf to inspect more closely. Alaric perused the space, noticing that the alleyway was not particularly special. A few doors from the building dotted its interior, often service doors for the workplaces above. The victim was a middle-aged man. Nothing special. No high-positioned job. No connections to any known mobs or gangs in the area. There is no insane amount of debt. He seemed for lack of better words, normal.

“Okay, I think I’ve seen enough here. You said in your report that there were a few other locations where similar murders have taken place. Can you show me a few of them? Preferably the ones that are the most recent.” The inspector called the other knights over, including Mr. Sourpuss. “Take Mr. Alaric to sight 4 and 3. Both of those happened the night before last.” He stated as he turned back around to Alaric. He gave him some further details about victims one through four. Alaric, along with the three knights proceeded to make their way through the city. Sourpuss leading the way. The man seemed to not have much love for Alaric. He caught him looking back slyly more than once. Alaric would only glance for a moment before snapping his attention back to the road before him. Something about this man didn’t set well with him. Most Rune Knights were a pain in the asses and self-righteous he found. This one was no exception

The group approached the next scene. A different knight, not the sour one gave an overview at this location. Alaric listened to him, only half-heartedly. He had already got the information he needed from the inspector. Everything they said was just a repeat. He was mainly here to soak up the smells of the area. It was why they asked for him, a tracker. Alaric knelt down and soaked up the atmosphere of the area. It wasn’t much different than the last. Right off of a busy avenue, so plenty of foot traffic. This time it was an older woman. Perhaps in her mid to late fifties. The body was already gone but they had some images of her to show Alaric. Plus, there was still the scent of her blood all over the place. He caught a familiar scent from the last crime scene but it was almost like it was a common scent. He had smelled it all over the city today. Very peculiar. The group would leave and head to the next victim's spot shortly after. No use poking around something that’s been long gone. He needed another lead.

As they surveyed the final location. Alaric broke off from the trio of knights and poked around the alleyway where the crime took place. He could hear them mummering under their breath about him and the whole situation. It must have been known that Alaric was a werewolf. The comments they made were centered around his sense of smell and ears. Pretty dumb of them to whisper so near if that was the case. Not the wisest in the order, that was for sure. Alaric was a bit perplexed by the crime scene though. This one was a bit different than the others. It was not on as busy of a street for one. Another thing was that this alleyway did not seem to have as many building doors littered within. It was also a dead end. Meaning that the killer likely just walked right out of this shadowy alley and back into the street without anybody batting an eye. How could they do that? Magic? If only Salem or Lumi were nearby. Both of them had much better handling of magic than he, he was lucky to tell if a spell was coming even if it was right up in his face. Magic was like a scent too, it left traces even after it had left an area. “Alright. I think I’ve got the gist of everything. I’ll poke around the city a bit and let the Inspector know my findings.”

The Knights were skeptical at first. He could tell by how their posture shifted, especially sour puss. Alaric’s gaze quickly flickered towards the knight but adverted as he turned his back towards the trio. “Alright. Y’all have a good one.” He said as he started to walk down the street away from them. Something didn’t sit right with him. This wasn’t you’re typical murder. Magic or something was involved. He’d need to keep an eye and nose out. The knights seemed fishy. He couldn’t explain why. Their whispered comments showed they did not care for his were-self. Could that explain their standoffishness, or was there something else going on there? It might be worth his time to tail one or two of them. It was getting late though, he needed to grab a bite to eat and mull it over. He had a plan for tonight, he just needed to make sure he wasn’t near anybody as he set it up.

Alaric slipped into a tavern that was well-trafficked enough. He posted up there for a few hours. He spent the time ordering some food and non-alcoholic drinks, he had to keep his whits about. He pondered over each of the crime scenes as he sat there. He had posted up there mainly due to the knights he was hanging around earlier. He had hoped that they would not follow him, but so far it didn’t seem like it. He couldn’t sniff them around in the bar. Slipping out the back, Alaric posted up near the dumpster. He sparked a cigarette as he shuffled about the side of the building—still, no scent of the three men from before. The coast was probably clear. Looking about carefully, Alaric noticed that there were no others around. It had gotten dark and the streets were dying off, leaving only those with purpose out. Alaric inhaled one last drag before flicking the butt of the cigarette towards the ground, stomping it out. He took one last deep breath of the night air before exhaling, with each moment his body shifted. Before anybody had a chance to come out back, Alaric had become a wolf. Upon hearing approaching steps, he raced off down the dark streets.
