Summary
The story, told from the point of view of Sineya, the first Slayer, narrates her fight with a vampire and her encounter with a villager, who offers her food and informs her that, though the village elders are grateful, they want her to leave because she is part demon.

She informs her that's the reason for the Shadow Men to create only one Slayer, and that when she dies, another girl will be chosen and so forth, forever. Silent, Sineya simply leaves, filled with confusion and pity but also with some comfort.
