Abigail had grown her mother dead by Repolho. As she was hunting the glimpse of bright fur made her curious. Crouching down she made her way towards the larger animal, seeing a dog. The beast of strings approached sitting beside the dog yet staring at Abigail.
Stiffening with fear as the dog turned to her. The dog rubbed against the beast before looking at Abigail and opening her mouth. Abigail hissed "Don't get any closer I know your kind." The dog sat rolling her eyes "Oh really? My kind you mean dogs? I was raised by Daxton. Who as you can see is NOT a dog." Abigail bristled "That makes it worse those beast kill cats!" Daxton rose effortlessly "Now Tituba here is not going to hurt you. Neither will I." Abigail narrowed her eyes her fur bristling with anger. With a swift move she had turned and walked away not realizing Tituba had followed.
Daxton followed as well slowly explaining rules " you are NOT to kill Repolho. But you must kill more than him to survive." Abigail turned "is this some sick joke?" She questioned. Daxton shook his head "it's either that or you can die now" he offered
Repolho growled training he turned seeing a beast. Growling more "what are you doing here?!" The beast stepped forward intrigued growling slightly but not in aggression. Repolho blinked intrigued sniffing at him before sitting and asking "You can understand me?" Daxton was near by swiftly moving "Yes they can." Repolho bristled hissing "Who are you?" Daxton shook his head "That doesn't matter now. Alface needs you." Repolho tilts his head before nodding. His mind coming up with ways to use Alface. Daxton quickly explained the same rules to Repolho.
Daxton didn't like that he was assigned this job but he was the one who could accurately account for any and all deaths. He could describe in detail how the victim died as long as you gave him a hair to identify who it was. He 18 eyes closed for a split second as he sighed, he cherished both Tituba and Alface but they were needed to destroy the two powerful evils in the world. He knew from the moment Fox died he'd need to hide his true emotions. With a swift move he got up and jumped in the air disappearing from the world going back to his home. His heart felt heavy but this was his role as the Keeper of Numbers.
