On a stormy and inclement night, a battle took place between Ariana Tarcil, a vampiress, and the Zodiac killer who has been attacking victims in Rhy'Din for many months now. According to sources, Tarcil had been hunting the serial killer for some time now.
     Witnesses state that the battle was long and difficult, but that Tarcil managed to wound the Zodiac, who had been targeting an apartment building with eighty-seven residents. His blood was the only blood found at the scene.
     As the battle drew to a close, the Zodiac killed Tarcil by tearing out her heart and crushing it with his bare hands.
    Witnesses say that Tarcil seemed to dissolve in the falling rain, leaving behind nothing but a

bluish mist seen in the ambient light, her clothing and bells that she was known for wearing.
    The Zodiac killer was driven off by means of teleportation, leaving behind no blood trail for officials to follow. The apartment building that the killer had been targeting is now under increased surveillance.
    Ariana Tarcil leaves behind no living relatives.
    Witnesses, rescued individuals and the general population have created an impromptu memorial for the unlikely heroine.
    One resident of the targeted apartments had this to say:
    "She was a real heroine; she gave her life for us, and even though Rhy'Din has a short memory, she'll never be forgotten by those she saved."

An impromptu memorial for Ariana Tarcil outside of the apartment building that was being targeted by the Zodiac Killer.

Residents of the apartment are currently collecting donations for a more permanent memorial.

     Courts are moving ahead in the trial of one Horaetio Renne Arc'err, the alleged 'Dockside Killer'. Earlier reported in the Dockside News Report, Arc'err turned himself in at the Port South Holding House after the murders of six victims and numerous animals.

The scene of one of the crimes.

    According to public records, Arc'err is currently seeing Dr. Chryrie Nightstar and has had several visitors since his imprisonment began. There has been no statement released from the courts as to when his arraignment is to be set, but documents state that the law firm of Dewey, Cheetum and Howe are to be representing the defendant as a court-appointed defense counsel.
    Court appointed prosecutor Harold Lowe had no comment on the case itself or what charges would be filed officially, and only stated that he was in the very preliminary stages and intended to find out more before he moved the case ahead.
    Six victims are said to have fallen to the Dockside Killer, including: Jack Sidwell, Jayne Barnsby, Bruce McLennan, Rongar al Hamid, Saeinella Inoyet and Brandon Patrick Hayes. The cause of death was listed in reports as unspecified homicide, and the eyes of all of the victims were removed after death.
