Ghwyr sat on the floor, bloodied, battered and out of breath. He had finished ninth of the ten opponents, but it wasn’t with ease. His hands trembled from the fatigue along with his knees. He was barely standing when he knocked out the last opponent. His vision partially blocked by the big welt below his right brow. Now he fears if he could still do one more. Using the club, Ghwyr put his weight on it and stood up proudly while masking his despair and fatigue to everyone.It would’ve been easier for him fighting off these men if the bracelet of Salidas had worked. Unfortunately for him, the bracelet only rolled low numbers and not once did it glowed to give him a power up. It seemed like Lady Salidas turned her back on him, but he quickly rebuked himself for thinking such blasphemous thought. He focused himself on the fight instead.The circle was silent, but their eyes tell a different story. Ghwyr could see their elation and excitement for the battle as if they wanted to challenge h

Ghwyr woke up early that morning. His head was no longer pounding from that terrible headache he experienced last night, and his eyesight seemed to have gone back to normal and his swelling right eye was completely gone. He could now see properly without any haze or blur.He moved slowly touched the right side of his body. It was still aching a little but not as much as the day before. Ghwyr sat down on the bed and stared at the wall for a moment. How was he able to heal that fast as he did? It was when he recalled the amulet, Frejr had given to him.He touched the trinket and mumbled a prayer to Dian Ceto before doing the same thing to his bracelet. He profusely thanked Lady Salidas for her divine intervention. He would’ve met his devastating end if it weren’t for her.After saying his prayers, he stood up slowly out of bed, wore his shirt hanged at the chair where Rhylls sat, and looked for his armor, but it wasn’t there. He realized his armor was gone including that beautiful one h

Ghwyr lined to the same guild administrator with the Jackalope bounty on his hand. He was lucky enough to see the Jackalope bounty still available and it was the only remaining bounty in the board that was bronze ranked.Nobody bothered to get it maybe because of how risky it was, but how risky could horned rabbits be? He has hunted rabbits before and even if they may have been aggressive creatures, they were still too small and fluffy to be likened to a savage beast. He knew he could easily get them with a trap or two.“Good morning, Sir.” Ghwyr greeted with a smile. “I would like to reapply for the bounty again.” He said.The man was stoic and didn’t even greet him back. “I thought nobody would take this bounty. So, it had to be you again, hmmm…” He took the jackalope bounty while adjusting his monocle.“Well, I think I was just lucky.” He smiled while thumping his fist to his chest. “Do you think I could get this bounty now?” He subtly wanted to brag his armor to the guild administ

The day was getting longer and still there was no sign of the horned rabbits. Ghwyr has been hiding on the bush for more than a few hours and it was getting frustrating. It didn’t help that the previously beautiful forest he praised just a few minutes ago was now slowly turning against him.The humidity of the forest was making him sweat constantly and the constant buzzing of the bugs around him was getting into his nerves. Despite all that, he tried his best to remain as calm as he possibly could. He took some sips of water from his waterskin to cool him down as he waited.His stomach was already complaining to him as the hours passed, but he remained completely still. He didn’t want to miss his first encounter with the famed rabbit. But as he sweated profusely, it was becoming clearer that the Jackalope wasn’t there to be found.Annoyed at the possible wrong information the man had gave him, he slowly crept away from the bush and made his way back to the stream where quenched his th

Ghwyr woke up early the following morning and immediately went to the Guild Hall to ask about the request from the King’s Reserve. After confirming with the administrator, he immediately went to the place just as the sun rose from the horizon.Tuttel was already awake when he came to his tent. The man had been fixing some traps and was happy to see him comeback. He gave him a new location to hunt and told him that the population was twice as much as the last. However, he only needed to hunt 15 of it.“Your yesterday’s catch was good, but I couldn’t risk you ending a whole species because of me.” The lanky man said while scowling again. “Do fifteen today… and fifteen only. The guards might fine us we go beyond that.” He explained.Ghwyr nodded and apologized to him. However, Tuttel simply brushed it off and told him to move forward from the mistake. Before he left to hunt, the lanky man gave him a fresh pair of knives for the hunt.“One is for legs, and this hooked one is for the horns
