Snippet #2541194

The approaching figure came sauntering up the road, loaded down with weapons of varying degree, all unidentifiable at first glance. However, as he approached, his face became clearly visible; it was a face everyone on the grounds was made sure to know quite well. One of the two Slayers posted at the entrance immediately fired up the comm. links in their helmets. "We've got a Code 2 at the front gate. Say again: Code 2 at the front gate. We got Ragenard in the flesh. Advise caution to all units."

The duo fixated their weapons on the approaching werewolf, ready to open fire if necessary. He wasn't making any sudden, threatening moves, so they stilled their trigger fingers for the moment. It was when Ragenard began to speak that his intention became clear. The two Slayers both cast sideways glances at each other as Ragenard issued his "request," both men quite confused at this behavior. It was rather unexpected that they be visited by one of the Bloodstone Pack at all, much less him carrying himself relatively amiably.

The Slayer brought his comm. to life once more. "Mandragora, this is Slayer Post 1. Ragenard is requesting an audience with the Father. How copy?" Silence pervaded as the bitter tension between the two parties hung in the air. Suddenly, a reply came through. "The Father is sending Irons to confirm contact with Ragenard. Stay vigilant."

Rifles kept at the ready, the Slayers stared Ragenard down as he stood across from them. "They're sending a Hunter to come greet you out here. You'll go in on his say-so. Until then, you stay where we can see you."

It took a few minutes, but Isaac finally appeared at the front gate. Stepping through the wrought iron archway, he stared, dumbfounded, at their newly-arrived guest. "My, my. Never did I think that you would grace us with your presence. To what do we owe the pleasure, Ragenard?" After he had spoken, Isaac realized how rude he had been to not introduce himself.
"Oh yes, excuse me; my name is Isaac Irons. I am a Hunter for the Society. Now, may I ask why it is that you need to speak with the Father so urgently?"
