With the matter of Jimmy Boyle's immortal soul taken care of, Soulchaser had one more priority to deal with.  The Hunter, an insane spirit from hell, had stolen his weapon, Cheron's Blade and was using it as a tool of revenge.  On the top of his list was Alex Moreau, the descendant of a French judge and member of the lagacy team. 
 
After the Trial, Jimmy, Nick, Alex, Julia, and The Soulchaser stood in the protected circle that the Hunter could not penetrate.  The mood was light thanks to their victory, even the Soulchaser joined in in the congratulations.  However his face went back to the serious countenance when he picked up on the proximity of his nemesis.  The Hunter was close.
 
He turned to The Walker.  "How much longer does the protection rite bkeep this ground sacred?" Soulchaser asked.  "I can feel him."
