Drakor looked curiously at the other two, an unspoken question in his eyes, but he spoke. âWe tracked three sets of footsteps moving from the outskirts of the village to Granite Hill, then to the river where it appears Messire Kaver was killed.â
He began to tick off items on his hands. âThere was a set that appeared to correlate to Messire Kaver, and another, smaller set that we saw by the river. These, we believe, are the killerâs prints. The remaining prints are rather large, but given that I didnât notice them around the scene of the attack I find it less likely that they belong to thr killer.â
Drakorâs eyes glinted. âMore importantly, however, we found this-â he held up a small piece of cloth â-nearby. Canary thinks we should ask the general store owner if sheâs sold it to anyone.â
âMessire Lionel. Alchemist in training, and currently attempting to investigate this case. And, judging by the fact youâre gathered here, I take it you have also taken to investigating, sir⌠ermâŚâ
âWell I suppose an introduction may be in order for you?â

âThatâs smart. Nyna, the wife of the Messire (the Messire being the victim), mentioned that someone threw a rock through her windowâŚI believe during the channel ceremony last night. The Messire had an expression that suggested he knew what this was. I strongly believe that whoever did this is related to the killing. Asking around revealed that nobody was around to see this when it happened.â

The tall man extended a hand. âNice to meet you, Lionel. My name is Drakor. Iâve been⌠looking for someone, and I have reason to suspect the killer is related.â
He glanced at Wanderer. âI have my theories, but nothing concrete yet.â
