Hunter's Bounty (Veller)
“Pickman’s square was by far the seedier part of the city with streets filled with trash and other floating debris that Kile didn’t want to think about. Buildings stood neglected, their windows and doors boarded up, a home only for the rats, and even the people, unfortunate enough to live down here, appeared abandoned.
She picked her way carefully thought the streets. Finding Saybela wasn’t going to be easy. She had no idea where to look or even who to ask and felt as if she was just wanderi...ng aimlessly about the square until she smelled jasmine. It was the same sweetness she had smelled back at the Tally house, beneath the overpowering stench of burnt wood, but it was no more than a slight scent carried along on a stray breezed and she had dismissed it, but here, in this dreadful section of the city, the smell was so out of place it was like a beacon and she was forced to follow it.
Like a dog with a scent she tracked the stray smell of jasmine through the back streets and byways of Pickman’s square to a lonely looking two story house that sat a little crooked on its lot.MoreLess
