  Summary

  "I am not violent
  I am not malicious
  I am a result."

  A botanist who's been drug through shit again and again finally finds a serene moment in life.
  At least, that is what he had hoped for.
  Instead, he peaks the interest of a group of freaks, and he has to juggle these new odd individuals alongside a familiar demon coming home far too early.
  God he needs a cigarette.

  Summary

  Verb
  Disŝiri
  - to rend, to tear to pieces.

  A scarred mercenary and monstrous scholar are star-crossed. Each owe dangerous debts to their own demons.
  Maybe they will be torn apart by themselves, or maybe they'll tear each other to bits in blind desperation.
  One thing is for certain.
  Marco did not expect to deal with enemies like that for his bounties.
