Hunters

In the beginning, a plague crossed over the House of Heidelbaum. Its youngest, Jonah, was plunged into the belly of the whale; but was culled from the darkness by the shepherd Meyer Offerman. Somewhere across the ancient land of Manhattan, Millie Morris, a guardian of the law, whose faith hath been tested, trekked South upon the death of an elderly woman.

After discovering a clue about a murderous foe, Jonah travels to a wondrous land to locate a great evil and avenge his family. But his search lands Jonah in mortal peril that only the great shepherd Meyer Offerman can rescue him from. Meanwhile, down in the land of Florida, Millie Morris discovers that evil has many faces and that her search for truth may reveal more than she bargained for.

And on the second day, God created The Hunters, who at the behest of Meyer brought Jonah into their tribe. The Hunters were wroth, “Nay!” They cried, “The Hunt is no place for a child!” But Jonah petitioned his worth and uncovered the dark hymns of a new enemy. Following the old woman’s death, Millie’s light shone forth upon sinister truths while a Great Evil conspired to keep them in the shadows.

And when Millie pursued justice, so the envoys of Evil pursued Millie. Meyer appealed to Jonah, whose faith was strained by the trials of The Hunt; and Jonah turned to his companions’ burning bush and the spectre of his grandmother for counsel. The Hunters toiled to interpret the secret words of a wicked proclamation.

For the love of money is the root of all evil. A trail of signs did lead The Hunters unto a merchant’s lair, where unearthed remnants of the past echoed evils of the present. Millie’s compass delivered her to the House of Offerman, whereupon she encountered Jonah and put a charge unto him: “I beseech thee walk in truth!”

Meyer imparted unto Jonah a proverb, with which Jonah fortified himself. A sharp tongued serpent sought to poison The Hunters’ resolve. Evil hath taken root in the land of Alabama, whereupon The Hunters did descend to blot it out. A herald brought unto Millie grim tidings of Evil spread throughout the land.
