"Before that, I think I should at least know the name of my first students," yes I know I can just look at their I.D screen, it's just good manners.

" I'm Raina and this is Shanna," she points at petite brunette next to her.

"Jesus, she doesn't talk much now does she,"I asked Raina.

"Never mind that, are you gonna explain what mean."

I rolled my eyes in annoyance, " listen, they are god's they give us their blessings which allow us to gain the ability to perform spells, such as the one you saw. "

"Give them a sacrifice, one takes a liking to you and they give you a test, accept it then pass it and you get powers. Easy peasy."

Why the hell is she still looking at me like she has no idea what I'm saying, " and here I thought you were smart poppet,"

"Raina."

"What?"

"It's Raina, not poppet."

"Whatever, just listen here poppet..."

"RAINA!!"

"You're gonna need a kill, sacrificing a monster on your level is sure to raise some eyebrows. Hope you don't get Zeus though ~shivers~ that guy is hardcore."

"Okay, so where do I find a monster?"

"... uh, everywhere poppet."

"Ugh my name is, fuck it where do we find one, one I could kill ."

Good point, hmmm let's see, where do I know.

" There's a Douen hideout at the Trinity Cathedral on Abercromby Street, those guys are so weak a one eye pigeon could kick their ass in the dark. They don't see well and they're only about seventy centimetres tall so you can just kick 'em to death, but grouped up they can make for good entertainment."

I wasn't at one hundred percent just yet, I was still shaky here and there but we made our way to the Church in the small time. The gates were torn down and replaced with half-assed wooden barricades. There was movement, short beings that looked like little children only that from the hip down, their legs are backwards, as in the heels are pointing to you and the freak-shows have no face.

I circled the perimeter to get a good look at what was going on inside. Didn't pick up on anything new, the church was rather blocked up so I couldn't quite tell what was quite going on in there. It shouldn't pose much a problem for this lot.

But I've been wrong before.

We were on the north side of the church, there was a slight tremor. It's been going on for a little while now but I didn't focus on it until now. The slight tremor scaled up enough to shake loose stones. With my curiosity peaked I found myself looking around only to notice Shanna just staring off past Woodford Square.

"Uh, Raina you're creepy sis is just starting off, what should I do?"

"What's wrong Shanna?" Shanna pointed north of Woodford Square.

"Um, Jesus should we be worried?"

I squinted my eyes at the direction they were pointing at, then gasped. Dozens of ratmen rushing through the square at full speed, "YES, YES WE SHOULD BE VERY WORRIED!"

My limping ass was already on the move while those two idiots stood there stunned with jaws dropped

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR RUN!"
