## Prologue

Received command to investigate the Forest of Ailos. Reports from the area are indicating that there was a loud scream -- louder than all the others from this forest. I'd say this is just another victim of those two little bastards, but I accepted the mission knowing that if anyone else went they would've needed to say their goodbyes to their families.

We're a force of 15 men - all prowlers. I expect to return with about 4, 8 if the gods will it. My men and I left HQ at 0300 hours -- on schedule.

## Transcript

**0300**

[SHEIN] We've left and are now heading towards Ailos. Head count is 15 Jackrabbits.

[HQ] Understood, let us know when you're about to go inside the forest.

[SHEIN] Gotcha.

[...]

**0417**

[SHEIN] Arrived at Ailos and now heading into the forest. I've got 15 men with me still, no losses from the airhorse.

[HQ] Copy Jackrabbits keep us updated. Good luck.

[SHEIN] Roger. We'll need it.

[...]

**0419**

[SHEIN] 192, HQ We're inside the forest now, we're not getting any foreign kaph readings anywhere and all 15 Jackrabbits are still mentally normal. Something feels off...

[HQ] Say again 192? Over.

[SHEIN] I say again HQ, there's no kaph readings and all my men are fine. This isn't normal.

[HQ] Roger 192 have you found anything? Over.

[SHEIN] (To all Jackrabbits) Did we find anything?!

[JACKRABBIT-3] Negative, sir!

[SHEIN] Negative HQ. We haven't found any-

[...]

[HQ] 192 do you copy? Over.

[SHEIN] I copy. We found two little kids, boy and girl.

[HQ] Are they alive?

[SHEIN] No. They were stabbed and sliced... is that a fucking heart?

[HQ] Say again 192 what's going on?

[SHEIN] I say again the two kids we found were killed by.. an animal? No that can't be right...

[HQ] 192 I do not understand, what exactly do you see?

[SHEIN] Two kids, a boy and a girl, were stabbed and killed. There is a heart ripped out from the girl and a (gags) marking carved onto the boy. I think these.. aren't these the fucking kids who haunt this forest?

[HQ] Adais and Maxim? The two kids of the forest right?

[SHEIN] You're goddamn right. The two brats that wiped out a whole OWL squadron. Killed by some guy. Who killed these two bastards?

[HQ] 192 are you sure it was one person and not a group?

[SHEIN] Yes, I am sure. (Picking up a bullet cartridge) Lead bullets - old .45 ACP. The killer had access to lead bullets. I bet you in the autopsy they're gonna find lead bullets.

[HQ] SHEIN you found a lead .45 ACP bullet cartridge?

[SHEIN] Correct HQ. (To Jackrabbit-2, beside him) Now who in the world would be able to kill a powerful mage with a gun and walk away?

*Jackrabbit-2 shrugs his shoulders.*

[SHEIN] Three numbers: *347*. Only he would. He's the only asshole to exist that would still use lead bullets and win a mage fight.

[HQ] Verify 192, *Entity-347* is the killer?

[SHEIN] Correct. That's what I think. I could be a crazy old man, though.

[HQ] We'll see at the autopsy 192, clear the area and wait for MD-18 -- they should be there shortly, lastly get home when you're done, over.

[SHEIN] Acknowledged. 192 out.

**END OF TRANSMISSION - 0426**

## Summary

After we got into the forest, I felt that something was wrong and I was right -- but it was one of those wrongs that was right. We then found the corpses of Adais & Maxim -- the Forest Siblings. I identified the murderer originally as an animal but soon found proof that *347* did it. I'm waiting for the official autopsy to be made so I can see that I was right. My Jackrabbits -- all 15 safe, thank goodness, went on the airhorse at 0502
