Predator: Dark Ages

Marshall Thomas

I am brother Joseph, thank you for coming.

I did not expect someone of such prestige.

Your Grace.

My men at arms.

My son, this is no place for a woman.

Take comfort in the knowledge you are not the first who have made such a mistake.

Freya knows these woods as well as any man.

I'm sure.

Thomas, come walk with me.

Please excuse us.

You hear that. He mistook you for a woman.

I hear you are to leave the order after this mission.

Your Grace. My men have seen too much death.

Some deserved. Some not.

Many returned from defending our faith

only to find themselves questioning it.

Why are we here, priest.

The Archbishop believes we have someone who could be of use.

You know what they said, about this beast that you hunt.

You have heard the tales.

Witchcrafts, dragons,

but I'm yet to know why the church is showing such an interest.

The local villagers had made a substantial donation

to the order in return for our help.

So, naturally, God wills it.

Naturally.

This way.

This is the reason the Archbishop sent you to our encampment.

- Thomas, this is... - Sied Abdul Shams.

A Saracen.

A Saracen who can help you to defeat this beast.

What help could a Saracen give me?

He can advise you when he can.

Advise?

Why should I trust a man who sells his own country.

This thing kills both Christian and Muslim.

It does not care for religion even if we do.

Brother, he cannot be trusted. He is a savage, they all are.

I am NOT the one who murders with no remorse.

Compose yourself, Templar.

Sied has experienced this evil before.

I neither need nor want his help.

Enough, Thomas. I will hear no more.

You may not want his help,

but I say it is God's will.

Sied rides with you.

What are they thinking?

A Saracen, apparently has experience of what we hunt.

Is that so?

This is a bad omen.

I can feel it.

Sign?

Several bodies were dragged through here,

away from the path.

We go on foot from here.

Feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Saracen.

What do you know of this beast?

We called it, jinn.

Huh?

It means demon.

Have you actually encountered one?

Yes.

In Jerusalem.

So. How do we kill it?

I do not know.

Well, how did you kill it?

We did not.

After it satisfied it's hunger for our people, it moved on.

Killing it is your problem, Christian.

I'm just here to offer help.

Who said to bring him along?

Like I said, he is a bad omen.

We're not hunting a mere beast, you fools.

This thing is more powerful than us all.

And you should have stayed in the tent with the priest.

Leave the fighting to true knights.

You think I want to be here?

It is not my choice.

Now you listen to me.

I do not care what you want.

You are with us now and you'll fight with us.

But I'm just a scholar.

Not anymore.

Trail splits here.

There are 2 sets of the same tracks

West and north.

Alright.

We spread out.

Freya, Godfrey. Hit the trail toward the west.

20 leagues.

We meet back here by nightfall.

He goes with you.

Marshall!

What in god's name.

Is it a warning or, or something else.

No one deserves a death like this.

I don't think it's this thing.

2 maybe 3 bandits, the most.

Probably heard the same stories as Sied.

Nothing like a bit of fear.

Let us hope you are right.

Sied.
