Thankfully this mission was close by. Washington, even though a few states away, wasn't halfway around the world like most. Unthankfully, it was rather cold in the mountains and Sion never did well in cold weather. Since it wasn't winter, complaining was kept to a minimum as it was only chilly.

All that aside, finding the creature wasn't difficult. Especially for Sion, who was well versed in all things supernatural. When one quests for a cure for vampirism, one has to touch on all subjects. Big Foot enthusiasts had nothing on her. Once found, Sion didn't waste any time using Akiha's ability to light the creature on fire. Burning the fur ranked but it allowed for an easily placed critical hit to land before anything else in the forest caught on fire. So, with that done, they collected the soul and went home.
