Time Limit for Mission 96 hours
There was a shrill call in the air as a hawk winged its way through the chilling winter air. It dashed through the snow, ignoring the particles that broke upon its wings and back. It could not afford to stop and wait out the fall, it had a job that it simply must achieve. It called once more, as if to announce its determination and resolve to ride out the weather to reach its intended destination. It sped over trees and hills, its impressive eyes picking out every living thing atop the white blanket that smothered the earth. The snow was a welcome change from the sights it had been seeing lately. Fields full of dead humans, burned forests and human settlements. The land was bleeding, and it was making it very difficult to find suitable prey. But all of that was secondary to its purpose. There! On the ground! A human he had been searching for was found in the snow. The hawk picked him out more surely than any person ever could, even from such a great distance.
The bird dipped its wings and flew directly toward the figure. It would complete its mission here, so that it could go hunting. It approached the man at speed, pulling up to land on his shoulder. With a chirrup, it turned its head to indicate that it required his assistance with the parcel tied around its leg. They were orders for the fallen hero Nakajima Hayate, for him to achieve his redemption. Once he completed this mission, the Bannin Banri would allow him to return to the village and once again be among his people. Once Hayate murdered a woman in cold blood in her own home, he would be allowed to return home a war hero. He would be celebrated and revered once again, his past crime forgotten. This was Hayate's chance at redemption.
