September 15th,
11:15 PM, Starlight Bay, Location??? A black shadow moved from street to street like a phantom, staying well out of the main avenues and out of the range of the dim streetlights that were spread out unevenly through out the area. The figure slipped in between alleys with ease into an abandoned warehouse near the city docks came into view. The light at the entrance was out, but that did not stop the figure from squeezing through the slight opening between the doors. The interior of the abandoned warehouse was nearly as one would expect such a place to be. There was practically no lighting save for an old flickering bulb hanging from the middle of the ceiling. The illumination was poor but if was easy to make out the piles of empty crates stacked in various corners of the building. There was a staircase on one side of the walls that led up to a gallery of sorts. Although everything in

The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Eight: Dean's Origins
1400 AD, England. There was a rumor that had been circulating around the countryside for the past few decades. A tale that was passed around in hidden corners, that was spoken of in hushed tones in taverns and alleys. It was a story that was so full of darkness and malevolence that new wives were forbidden from speaking of it to avoid attracting the evil to their homes. Mothers even used it to scare their unruly children into obedience lest the evil take them away. The tale of a monster who brought death wherever it went. Dean Hanson had been born to a family of four. A caring father who worked hard to provide for his family, a loving mother who never failed to on her duties to her children, and an adorable little sister who absolutely cherished her older brother. For the first seven years of his life, he had, as any child at tat age would, held all of them close to his heart
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Nine: A Cold Hearted Vengeance
She could not move. The feeling was everywhere. That eerie chill that had been suffusing her body all day suddenly seemed to intensify exponentially, causing her muscles and joints to lock up as if in a seizure. Her mind was descending into terror-induced panic. How had they managed to set up such a trap that not even her Eyes of God was able to detect on time?! More confusing even was the fact that the trap had been placed in the exact same place she had chosen out of all the origin sources of the barrier spell to escape through?! No... She could not allow herself to lose it here in front of an enemy of this caliber. The man's power was enough to completely alter the landscape of the environment around them. Where there had once been a lush vegetation surrounding them, now the area had practically turned into wasteland full of dead and decaying flora. Death was one of the oldest
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Fifty: The Second Game
Dean Hanson walked out of the purplish black swirling portal and into the common room in top floor of the Hunters/Witches dorm building. Most of his pack mates were there except Michael who was off with Diana doing who-knows-what. Olivia was in the kitchen working on something in the oven that smelt heavenly. Baking was a favorite pastime of hers, one of the many she had picked up over the years. On the couch at the back wall, Lee was lying upside trying to read one of the large tomes that were on the coffee table. Jade and Lisa were in the middle of the room, both girls seemed to be working on an extremely complex looking magic algorithm that involved several ethereal glyphs that floated in the air around them in a multitude of colors. "I got her," Dean announced in a completely bland tone as he dumped the unconscious red haired girl he had been carrying on one of the other couches. Jade barely glanced in the captive's direction and nodded in acknowledgement. Lisa on the other

September 16th, 8:40 PM, Starlight Central Academy, SCA Main Football Field. The shrill sound of the referee's whistle cut through the tense air in the arena as the official overseeing the match declared another touchdown for the home team. The crowds erupted in loud cheers of celebration as the players all gathered around the player who had scored, Bryan Harrison. The handsome athlete bumped shoulders in commemoration of his effort in increasing the school team's early lead in the game. As he celebrated with the last player, he pulled the other guy down for a brief private talk. "Hey Bruno, have you seen Lee around tonight?" The other athlete shook his head as he backed away into his position for the next play. "Nah man. But Stevie said he was here earlier but took off sometime before the game started..." "Hmm," Bryan hummed in thought and nodded appreciatively at his teammate. "Alright then..." That was weird. The Asian young man had been very instrumental in t

"I've never really had to play bait before," Lisa murmured nervously as she ducked underneath an overextended branch from one of the trees on the sides of the paved walkway. "Neither have I," Leva who was behind her pointed out with a calming smile. "But I don't expect it to be too difficult." "I didn't either! But now this isn't looking that excited anymore," the other girl sulked. Her hand came up reflexively to push her glasses up her the bridge of her nose as she looked around with a frown. "I mean, how sure are they that this is going to work? Or that I'm going to be targeted at all? Maybe the assassins—" Leva laughed softly at her friend's jitteriness, prompting the witch to stop her nervous rant and fix her vampire partner with a pouting scowl. Eventually the vampire ceased her giggling and reached out to hold the other girl by her shoulders and looked directly into her warm brown eyes. "Listen to me Lisa. Do not forget that these Hunters have been doing these sort o

September 16th, 9:10 PM, Starlight Central Academy, The SCA Arboretum Park. "So tell me, does a big strong man like you always go around kicking little ladies for shits and giggles?" Hatoshi grinned at the dark haired girl whose presence had set him on edge from the moment he had first laid eyes on her tonight. "I highly doubt any one could call you creatures ladies not to mention little." "You got that right," Jade said with a smirk. In her mind's eye, she evaluated the man before her. His body was like one that had been created, tempered and purposed solely for battle. He had large muscles, not to the level of obscenity, but enough to give his blows a good deal of force behind them. And then there was that steam ability of his. That was something she still did not know just how exactly it worked. Which meant she would have to engage the man first and find out firsthand. Wonderful, in her own unbiased opinion. Without much fanfare, Jade raised a hand up and willed t

Olivia Hayes was not a fan of violence. That was an understatement. It could be better said that she despised all forms of actions that could bring harm, whether to others or to herself. There was a reason after all why her own Variant Ability had been so useful in providing aid to the body, among other things. Olivia was many things, but naive she was not. She knew that there were things in the world that would not, could not stop hurting others. People that lived to cause pain to other people. And sometimes pleading with them, even simply defeating them would be enough to keep them down. Even her very own pack mate Lee had been one of such people, but he had been able to concede in front of a higher power and restrain himself to reasonable extents. The lean Asian man in front of her did not look like he would be that reasonable. So therefore, as much as Olivia hated it, she equally knew that it was her duty as a Hunter to protect, even if it meant to destroy. To save e
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Fifty Five: Hunting the Hunters (3)
Jade was beginning to wonder just what exactly this assassin was made of. Although she had only been using elemental runes so far, he had still been able to shrug off all the damage without much bother. And the damage was not exactly inconsiderable either. Jade's runes were created using the law of the world and while they would not be at their best since thee fight was not technically happening in the world, they were still no laughing matter. The entire section of the forest they were in now resembled a land that had been ravaged by the full wrath of nature. Numerous swaths of land still burned with the purple flames of her runes and massive craters pockmarked the land from her constant bombardments. The most one saw the assassin having to pick himself out of a gorge in the earth where a powerful application of a condensed gravity rune had buried him within the earth. A draft of hot steam announced his presence as he jumped out of the large crack in the earth looking absolut
