Where I come from, most cultures have their own takes on the otherwordly, the supernatural. As shown in this entry, many of you are familiar with the lore of your world and even have had your own encounters with them.

Let me ask you this, to supplement the previous question: What creatures or supernatural beings of your world are generally portrayed in a negative light? Of those, do any have a particular fascination with blood?

Discuss as you will.

More than intelligent enough not to tell you the answer to that question. Why do you think I would tell you more? Do I have any reason to believe that you would treat something inhuman in this place differently than you do in your world?

[She's right, actually. She almost disappointed by her evading the question.]

That's correct. If there is a monster which poses a threat to my purpose, then it too would be eliminated.

However. If you don't pose a threat, there is nothing to hide.

[Suspicious by nature, just hearing the purpose wasn't likely even enough to change her mind per se. Words were easy to craft into subtle lies. And the cold, distant tone of a soldier, a killer, an inquisitor or executioner apart from their master.]

And what is your purpose, if you are this far from home, and why should you care if something is inhuman here?

There is someone I have been assigned to watch over. Even here, it is my duty to carry those orders out.

I am a predator, but I am more like a bear than a man-eating tiger. I can stick to salmon and berries, and I will be just fine. I would prefer not to be a tiger, so as long as I have my way, this person and you will never see me.

Simple as that.

[Not entirely true, but it would do in a pinch.]
