Biography

Ethan Waldmann had been born in London, the eldest son of his family and the one expected to take up the reins of the family business. He learned hunting early . . . and he learned the family history that brought them respect, fear, awe, and distrust all at the same time.

His family had been hunters for as long as their family history had been on record, but their blood also carried the tiniest threads of the not-quite-human. At least two confirmed ancestors had been born of human and non-human parents. One ancestor had been the son of a hunter and a strega couple, the marriage having been the scandal of their generation. Another ancestor, centuries before that, had been born when his however-many-times great-grandmother met a nymph during a celebration. No marriage there, but . . . well, in that day and age, the idea of a woman having the baby of a minor deity type didn’t surprise too many people.

Basically that didn’t mean much for him, not all these generations later, except for the family gift. Or curse, depending on who was doing the talking. He and his three sisters had each inherited the gift. A bond to the magic of their ancestors . . . kinda. Not that they could do anything with magic – they weren’t strega or nymph, so spells and magic didn’t work for them. However, they could sense it – sense the presence of it. If they focused hard enough, they could sense where it had been. If someone used enough of it, they could sense it at a distance. Distance could get iffy, though.

Still, it meant some hunters gave their family sideways looks while others considered them to be important. Important enough that he’d spent a few years on Kairos as a youngster when his father had been called to help keep the peace and balance between the different species. And that meant he’d gotten to know nymphs, streghe, shifters, vampyrs, and even a few Erinyes personally. Having met them, lived among them, Ethan saw them as individuals, as people, and he understood fully why his parents insisted their family live according to a strict code. Protecting the innocent came before hunting the rogues, but the rogues – those who threatened all – received no mercy.

Six months ago, his sister disappeared, and Ethan has been searching for her. He’s been following any number of clues and trails, but something has drawn him back to Kairos. Would he find his sister here? Or was there some other reason he’d been called back to this unique little town?

it  is  late  for  a  jog.  she  didn't  even  have  a  source  of  light  on  her  . . .  not  that  she  needed  it  with  her  new  night  vision.  at  least  now  the  dim  glow  of  the  town  lamps  gives  her  a  convenient  excuse  for  the  lack  of  gear.  ❛  oh,  ugh,  yeah.  just  need  the  fresh  air,  y'know  ?  ❜  she  tugs  the  edges  of  her  jacket  tighter,  forcing  a  convincing  smile. his  laugh  eases  her  though.  ❛  right.  ❜  she  lets  her  own  laugh  slip  out,  mirroring  his  own.  but  her  features  soften  as  soon  as  he  mentions  his  sister.  the  teasing  and  casual  tone  fading  into  concern.  ❛  have  you  heard  anything  ?  ❜

Ethan nodded in understanding, though he eyed her for a long moment. As an older brother often responsible for three younger sisters, he had his own definition of ‘prepared’. One corner of his mouth quirked up into a crooked grin. “Maybe next time, bring an extra weapon or two?” He gave a quick, friendly wink. “Just to be safe?”

Running a hand through his hair, he scrubbed at the back of his head. “Nothing,” he admitted as his smile dropped away. “No one’s got any rumors or clues I haven’t already picked up. Best I’ve got is a bunch of folks willing to keep an eye out and an ear open for her.” It felt like she’d dropped off the face of the earth. He rolled his shoulders, trying to shake the fear that wanted to grip him. "At least that's something."

while  she  disagreed,  nailah  wasn't  about  to  argue  with  him.  if  he  was  that  jumpy  he  shouldn't  have  been  out  that  late  at  night.  ‟  sure,  ”  offers  blandly,  gripping  her  takeout  a  little  more  closely.  she  couldn't  remember  seeing  him  around  before  but  maybe  he  belonged  to  the  sort  of  group  of  people  she  wouldn't  have  paid  any  mind  to  in  the  first  place  had  he  not  spoken  to  her.  ‟  i  was  content  to  be  ignored  too,  but  i  guess  now  it's  both  of  our  problems.  ”

She didn’t seem to be in a mood to accept any kind of diplomatic overtures, and Ethan had been tired even before he’d tried to get news about his sister. He didn't have the energy or desire to play cat and mouse word games. It wasn’t his style with strangers and unknown quantities. “Then I’ll ask pardon for interrupting your evening. May you have a more pleasant one here forward.” Tipping an imaginary hat, Ethan turned and began to walk away.

shoulders lift into a casual shrug ⸻ she doesn't really care how anyone labels her profession . far be it for the lamia to be ashamed of it , after all . ❛ what else am i supposed to do ? rob you ? cute that you seem to think that i could take you on . ❜ not that she tries to sell her innocence . of course she could take him on , just not physically . ❛ besides , i tend to get whatever my heart desires , so what's the point ? ❜ the smile that accompanies her words is almost too sweet and it's followed by a brief moment of laughter . ❛ that one's new , but the name is emilia . does that mean i get to call you scaredy cat ? ❜

“I try not to make assumptions on someone’s capabilities,” Ethan chuckled, though his words held nothing but truth. He’d been a hunter his entire life - and he had seen the most delicate of creatures take down an entire hunting party. One eyebrow flicked in acknowledgement of the smile, but he had to chuckle as she laughed. “Personally, I’d prefer Ethan. Nice to meet you, Emilia.”
