#Chapter6
The new moon climbs up into the cloudless African sky, throwing its reflection down upon the dark waters of the Kafue River, giving the vast African bush veldt a lunar effect. As the heat from the day is sucked up into the heavens, a mist rolls over the river, broken only as the dugout canoe cuts through the water, the paddles silent as they work against the water, moving the hunters closer towards their target.
The three men in the canoe are clothed in the long flowing white robes of the Cult of the Jackal but will disrobe before they venture forth to claim the chosen one, for they will blend in with the shadows of the night and move like ghosts. Unseen and unheard as they complete their quest, the only sign will be the empty bed in which the young girl has slept in, safe and sound.
