1852 Month of Nets. Whitecliff, Gristol.

It had taken him no time in tracking them down. The Black Eyed Bastards' family. Even thinking of the word family makes his skin crawl. Daud watches the daughter named Lillian from a shadowy alley.

  His eyes go from the few guards walking around the single road of the town to the little dark-haired girl playing in the yard behind the orphanage where she lives at. Her thick and long brown hair bounces as she skips around in circles. How could a child so innocent looking have a father so vile? The child of the root of all evil.

  He finds himself following the girl as she leaves the safety of the yard and out to the street. He tries to keep to the shadows but it proves difficult considering how bright Whitecliff is compared to Dunwall.

  She runs across the road weaving and dodging carriages and busy dockworkers. She runs down a narrow alley and out of sight.
Daud gives up attempting to be stealthy and jogs after her.

  He finds an alternate route using his Blink ability and walks across a rooftop of a butcher shop. He peers over the edge of the building and finds the little girl doing something a little girl shouldn't be doing. She's playing with blood.

  Daud just watches with morbid fascination as she splashes her arms in a bucket full of blood and discarded organs. Why is she doing that? Is it fun for her? He watches as she pulls away from the blood and walks over to standing rocks on the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean.

  She paints symbols on the sun-bleached rocks like the symbols the Brigmore witches painted. Daud finds himself looking away out to the ocean. He came to this town to stalk and learn what he can from the Bastards' family. Maybe they know how to kill him.

  He looks back at the child and notices she's gone. He then feels a chill up his spine. He turns around and is greeted by Lillian looking up at him. Only one of her eyes is visible through her thick and wild hair. She would have looked cute if it wasn't for the blood staining her blue dress and covering her hands.

  She looks up at him with an unnerving gaze. Just like her father but with eyes as green as a pine tree. They just stare at each other.
"Hi." Daud attempts to greet the girl but she backs away suddenly and disappears.

So. This is my attempt of getting back into writing and slowly sliding into writing for Dishonored. I haven't played the OG Dishonored DLCs so I'm not good with Daud's personality. Hope I did him well.
