Chapter Text
Just when my life as a hunter couldn't get any more complicated, I have been forced back in time by an angel so to ensure that my family's legacy as hunters begins with you, my dear. Now I'm trapped in Victorian London, hiding from those that believe me to be some kind of madwoman.
My name is Rebecca Wesson and I was born in 1991, raised by my mother and father to hunt monsters and I am writing this guide to pass on the knowledge I have learnt from them and from others. Granted, you may think I'm mad as well but I assure you, I speak the truth; Queen Victoria will be on the throne until 1901, she will lose her husband in 1861, she will continue to mourn him until her death. On a happier note, her children and further descendants will continue to rule the United Kingdom and other European countries for years to come and her great-granddaughter will eventually overtake Victoria as the longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom.
It seems strange to be passing on this knowledge to those that came before me but in this line of work, anything is possible and anything can help.
From what I remember my parents telling me, our family began hunting when they found out that their loved ones were killed by vampire from an old acquaintance, though I only remember it was around this time and no one has been able to give me a proper name. With their help, our family became great hunters with a legacy that is even spoken about in the States.
I'm sorry if this is how you find out the truth but you need to know that there are things out there that go bump in the night; vampire, werewolves, ghosts, and demons to name a few. While I only have a short amount of time in this era, I have written down everything I know, including some sigils and spells I have learnt over the years.
Sorry again if this is a shock but you need to know this stuff as it could save your life over the years to come.
On a more practical note, in the box that this book is sat in is a number of items that could help you out with hunts and such. Though some of these items may seem absurd, they will help greatly. I'll include a note about them all later.
Yours sincerely
Rebecca Wesson
