The Last Witch Hunter Page #2

But you'll be fine.

It's, uh, Kaulder that I worry about.

You worry about Kaulder?

Do you know how the elders

of The Axe and Cross refer to him?

They call him "The Weapon."

When I put in my reports,

all they want to know is numbers.

How many witches I've

turned over for detention.

How many slain for breaking the law.

Can you blame them? What

he does is so important.

Yes, that's true, but

he isn't just a weapon.

And those of us who know the truth,

we bear responsibility.

Whatever happens, promise

me you'll watch out for him.

Of course. That's my job.

Taxi!

Hello?

Kaulder?

Dolan the 36th passed away

peacefully last night.

The ceremony will be tomorrow.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thirty-six have taken the

name "Dolan" before you.

Are you worthy of becoming the 37th?

I testify that I am.

Do you promise to serve

our brother Kaulder in all things?

To know him only as he knows himself?

I promise.

So you're the new guy.

We've actually met before.

A long time ago.

You see that cornerstone?

I watched them lay it in

when this was nothing

more than a cornfield.

That was a long time ago.

I pledge my life and loyalty

to you as the 37th Dolan.

I swear to help you carry

out your duty to the Order...

When they were building this city,

construction crews discovered

a mass gravesite, 60 feet below ground,

filled with thousands of forgotten slaves.

Know what they did?

No.

Worked by night, filled the hole,

and kept building.

There are shades of evil everywhere.

So, I'm sorting you out with

fresh credit cards, new

passport, and a new identity.

Just gettin' used to the old one.

Well, it's out of date.

There are global databases now, CCTV's,

smart phones and geotracking.

The world is changing.

Only on the surface.

Right. But it's important

to keep a low profile.

Mmm-hmm.

Uh...

I guess we should be thankful it's not red.

May I ask where we're going?

I've seen people get old, retire, and die.

Rarely on the same day.

He was found at his desk.

What are we looking for?

How do you know when there's

magic in the vicinity?

A witch's magic comes from four elements,

fire, water, earth and air.

Applying the correct alchemical triggers

will reveal its presence.

No magic here.

Just wanted to be sure.

If the window hasn't been opened,

how did that get in here?

One means nothing.

Two, a coincidence.

Three, trouble.

Get down!

What?

He was killed by witches.

Never in the history of The Axe and Cross

has a Dolan ever been murdered.

You wanna quit?

No.

I want a raise.

This is a declaration of war.

Who could have done this?

A concealment spell was placed

to make everything look normal.
