History

Prologue - Blood Run Cold

The Carmine Beast died under mysterious circumstances. Louise Bayer followed it as it headed further into Kennet before seemingly disintegrating into stains of blood. <ref>Across the rink, she saw, there was a loose silhouette shape stained into the ice, matching a leg and paw of the great beast. It extended, she realized, into the trees at the back of the rink, and onto the mountain of snow that had been built up over months of the parking lot being plowed and the ice of two rinks being cleared off. It could well be the very last thing in Kennet to fully thaw. On that mountain of snow, if she walked around, she could see the general shape of the thing’s ear and muzzle. More of the stain extended across the outer perimeter of the parking lot.

All crimson. Blood.

She hugged her arms to her body, shivering, as she walked the length of it, around three-quarters of the parking lot’s perimeter. The red stain was thickest where the beast’s neck would have been. Blood was sinking into frozen ground and snow in a pool as large around as the rink was.

It was only now that she finally felt cold.’ - Excerpt from Blood Run Cold 0.0</ref>
