"The first...hunter?" Samantha asked.

Kyrum nodded. 

"Our kind hunt others for sport. Proof is the many skulls in my chamber." 

He walked over to a mask exactly like the one he had used, and picked it up. Then he tapped a few red symbols on the side of the wall, and a little compartment opened up. A long, skinny, tan, fingery looking thing was inside it. 

Kyrum examined it for a moment, then pressed the tip to the mask. He slowly drew the "J" symbol onto it, and the mask appeared to be...smoking. 

"What's that?" Samantha asked, curiously, looking at the finger thing.

He was hesitant to answer.

"It comes from something which you will never wish to meet whole and alive."

Kyrum put the thing back into it's container, and it slid back into the wall. 

Samantha looked down at her own fingers, and clenched and unclenched them. Suddenly, it hit her.

"Holy shit I have to get back to town!!!" 

Kyrum looked up. "What do you mean, lou d'kale?"

"School! Learning! Life!" she replied. "My life!!" 

He was silent for a moment. 

"You may go. But while I am healing, I will be keeping a close eye on you for your own good. It is not safe in these times. There is...another threat roaming the city." 

Samantha began to ask, "What thre-" but he cut her off. 

"Go. And look for the shimmer."
