Obviously the men were looking for something, or to be more accurate someone. Since they didn't leave any stone unturned so it seemed. Every corner, every dark alley got checked out. Even peoples own homes weren't save from their relentless search. Brutally doors get kicked in, and everything they owned broken apart. Now one would wonder, who was this important for a dark guild as Savage Skull to step out of the shadows and harass a small town. Well, the answer to that laid in what had occurred a couple of days earlier the guild hall itself. A young girl, by the name of Madison, was brutally taken away from her hometown. And brought to the dark guild, for reasons yet not entirely known to her. The only thing she knew, was that she was special, enough so that the she had caught the attention of Savage Skull. Who was always looking for more and more power in its unquenchable quest for well... everything.
At the center of this predicament was also the very man who had captured her, a man who had a keen interest in her. As he believed Madison held a power, that if harnessed could help him force everyone and everything to its knees. This man was Harrigan Crawford, a man mostly clad in a red velvet suit. That screamed nothing but the extravagance rich people often had. A peacock in his own right so to speak. Matching with his appearance, was also his personality. Which was arrogant, and prideful. Which was easily dented, so one could imagine the relentless wrath such a man could have the moment he had lost his new toy.
'Tell me Captain!' No longer was his voice dripping with arrogance, but instead it was stern with a trembling sense of an explosive anger underneath it. 'How can it be that not only you failed in capturing a teenage girl, in what is supposed to be one of the most hazardous places in the country. But also appear to be incompetent enough to locate her in a forgotten backwater village filled with hicks!!'
'Sir.. please' responded the Captain, his voice trembling with fear, as he traced the two giant hounds circling him and the Crawford 'We are trying the best we can do, but even we can't look everywhere at once... aaaargh'
With a snap of his fingers, Harrigan send the captain in a cringing pain. His eyes widened as the man desperately grasped his chest. Just momentarily before he fell down on the ground, with only a few remaining spasm till he become nothing but a corpse. 'Pathetic...' said Harrigan out loud, while his two beast immediately delved into the corpse. 'It seems I must do everything myself! You there' he yelled to another soldier 'we are going to do this by a different approach! Bring me as much of the locals you can find! Children, women, men I don't care! If we can't find the girl, then I will force her out! Whatever it takes!'
