Geocache Description:

This is the second in a series of caches that follow a storyline. Each cache may be of different types as the story progresses. This second one is a Mystery/Puzzle cache. The posted co-ordinates are not the actual cache location, you will need to determine the co-ords from the story below. If you missed EP 1 it can be found at this link.

Prologue:

You have been known by many names through the ages, but for the last 237 years you have been called "Shah'ar Tuur", The Seeker. But you need no name. Names are for the living. You are not alive, you merely exist. You have a purpose, one that has consumed you for eons. You hunt.

At one time you were just another mercenary, trying to fill your belly. But this is different. This chase has been going on for far too long to be considered a job. It is an obsession. Dust has blown across the graves of your employer and 7 generations of his offspring, yet you still chase. Is it honor that drives you or something else?


Episode 2

Since your dissappointment at your last encounter, you have set up a "home base" in the general vicinity. While scanning all available sources of information you come across an anomoly that can mean only one thing. Your prey! You have always been good at utilizing the tools you have available, and your ability to adapt has made you potentially the greatest "Seeker" there has ever been. You are not arrogant enough to think that legends will be told of you, but you are also not naive enough to think thats not a possibility. You have already heard a Story-Song sung by a child as a taunt, on another land, that seemed to reference you. Although not adressed by name, it was clearly about you. How did that taunt go?.....oh yes....like this.

Comes, the hunter!
Out from the shadows, bringing vengeance.
[pauses, then steps forward]
[pauses, then steps forwards again]
Beware the long reach,
If it is you he seeks.
Run!
Hide!
Escape!
Freedom?
Safety?
All prey fall to his mighty skill.
No remorse.
No bargains.
It's your end!

"It's your end!" has always been your "catchphrase" (pardon the pun). How many have heard you speak those words and in how many different languages? You cannot remember. You do know that all who you spoke them to, heard nothing more after that. The child that sung it was so filled with ferocity, you would have considered taking him on as an apprentice. But you are no teacher. Most of your skillset comes from your race, of which you have never met another.

That was long ago. Everything is long ago to you now. You have been sensing that an end is coming soon.(It's your end!) The end of what, you do not know.(It's your end!) It has been many years since you have taken another job, for this one requires all your energy. You hope an end does come soon; the end for your prey, but that doesn't feel right to you.(It's your end!)

You ponder why that song has come to you now, but it does not take you long to understand why. Although it was more poetic in its original tongue, thinking of those words, in this language, you see the significance. Once again you head out after your prey, knowing that today is not the day for resolution, but the end must be near. (It's your end!)

Cache is a small green "Dry Box" that contains some gaming related swag-DSi screen protectors, PSP UMD disc holders, Electronic blackjack game, XboxLive trial card, Ghost Recon PC-DVD, Brain Age2 cart for NDS..etc
Trophy for FTF.
