When Lisa had first entered the mage academy at the Arcane Circle's headquarters in Salem Oregon, she had been completely terrified. She had been eight years old back then, with a short frame and a weak body that did her no favors whenever she got sick, which unfortunately turned out to be quite often. Intimidated by the superior skills and strength of her classmates, Lisa had never really tried to compete with anyone else in both social standing and magic prowess.
She had been born with a relatively large magic reserve within her soul but she had not possessed the required constitution to properly learn and master elemental magic, a basic which was usually used to determine where the talents of a young mage lay. Luckily for her the current headmaster of the academy had been a wonderfully kind and considerate man, not to mention scarily intelligent. Upon realizing what her problems were, the man had refused to write her off as a failure like so many other te

September 15th, 9:18 PM, Starlight Central Academy, Carson Boulevard. Lee felt like he had had a very eventful week so far. First he had gotten to kick the shit out of two uppity young upstarts. Then they had brought him even more fun by getting him a fight with a Rougarou. Well, it was more of a slaughter than an actual fight but hey, it was still a good source of catharsis. Michael then had to go and send all of them on a bounty hunt for some mystery girl with crazy eyes. Although it sounded boring as all hell, he was sure he could find a way to make it fun. After all, the alpha had not exactly given them orders not to kill the girl if they found her. As far as Lee was concerned, she was fair game. The Asian Hunter was aware of the kind of reputation he held among some of the members of the supernatural world in the school. Which was why he had been honestly surprised when Elena Jo
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty: Night of Dangers
9:10 PM, Outskirts of Starlight Bay, The Marino Safe House. Ever since the day a young man had sat in his office and called himself a werewolf, Antonio had realized that the world as he knew it had fundamentally changed. Soon after all sorts of crazy impossible things had started popping up in his radar. Things that must have been there previously, but he had not noticed them in the past simply because he had thought them to much of a stretch of the imagination to be real. Even later when he had been quite rudely introduced to the world that lay beneath the visible through the attack on his daughter and her subsequent kidnapping by a demon of all things, Antonio Marino had thought that he would be able to resolve the whole thing by using a tactic that had never failed him in his past with the mafia's dirty business. If you can't kill it with a knife, get a gun. Followin
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty One: True Evil Has No Remorse
The large shadow-covered monster lunged forward with a roar. 'Contractor, I have a suggestion that will help us... It is very dangerous but we do not seem to have much options...' Its menacing crimson eyes locked onto Anna with an unnatural hatred, flooding the little girl's mind and body with paralytic terror. 'Contractor, grant me permission to use your power...' She could not think. She could not move. There was a faint hissing sound in her mind's background but she could not focus on anything but that approaching red eyes that glared at her. They were filled with so much hatred... so much forced hatred... ... she wanted to help this poor creature... 'Contractor if you do not reply, we shall both die here...' Her mental block flared open as a determined resolve was born within her. "Do it." The serpent that had coiled itself tentatively around her neck unwound the co
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Two: Man vs Monster
September 15th, 9:29 PM, Outskirts of Starlight Bay, The Marino Safe House. Squads of men in suits and body armor poured out of the house all armed with a variety of heavy duty firearms. A wave of hesitation passed through them as they came face to face with a literal army of giant fierce shadow monsters. Their red eyes blazed like crimson lamps in the darkness, with some of them having even more than one pair. "Lucio!" One of the men called out. "What the hell are these things?!" "The heli if I know?" The Italian man shouted back and reloaded his rifle in a swift movement. "Just start shooting and don't stop until everything's dead!" The moment the order was given, the men all raised their weapons and unleashed a storm of explosive armaments. The monsters fell into a frenzy, growling snarling and roaring as they surged forward recklessly under the command of thei
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Three: Blood Rain
September 15th, 9:26 PM, Outskirts of Starlight Bay, The Marino Safe House. Antonio's lips thinned into a straight line and his eyes narrowed with controlled fury as he watched the feed from the multiple security cameras he had put up all around the house and its environs. On each screen, there was nothing but violent chaos as shadow monsters engaged his men in bloody battles. At the moment his guards still held the upper hand slightly but Antonio could see that the tables were already starting to turn in favor of the monsters. Each injury weakened his forces, each pause to reload allowed the shadow beasts to multiply and grow like ravenous destructive cockroaches. Gradually the humans were losing ground as they were forced closer to the house by the nonstop tide of shadow beasts. The monsters fought with a recklessness that bordered on suicidal, a command that had probably given to them by their matte
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Four: Nighttime Rendezvous
September 15th, 10:40 PM, Starlight Central Academy, The Hunters/Witches Dorm Building. The atmosphere in the common room was laden with a heavy tension. Despite there being three different supernatural races in the large room at the moment, neither of them had any negative thoughts regarding the other at that point. An unconscious Lisa lay on the biggest couch in the room while Leva sat beside her, a deeply concerned look on her beautiful face as she watched her resting friend. Although there were still many blood stains on her clothes, Lisa's body bore no sign of any wound or injury thanks to the healing applied on her by Olivia soon after Leva had stumbled into the dorm some time ago. A little ways away from them, a dark haired young man leaned against the wall in an aura of near visible darkness that seemed to repel light away from him. Dean's face remained in its perpetual flat state but his eyes bore an
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Five: Higanbana
The crash of the teacup pushed the room into a drowning silence. The darkening of Michael's expression was enough to clue everyone in on the fact that whatever Antonio had just said, it was of more importance than they had expected. The alpha closed his eyes and exhaled sharply before muttering a string of inaudible words to himself as he moved to open the laptop on the central table. "Hey, easy with that stuff. Malaysian bone china isn't exactly easy to get, you know?" Lee frowned at the shattered teacup. Diana opened her mouth to say something, probably a polite apology, only for Michael to wave a hand casually and erase every evidence of the accident with a pulse of ashen colored energy. He shot his leader a dirty look that was met with a stern one from the alpha. "Not the time Lee," Michael said as his fingers worked on the computer quickly until he had brought up a message on his email ac
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Six: Plans
"Ryusuke Sakai, Rin Sakai, Koya Omori, Shin Chibana and Tetsuro Kasai," Michael listed out the names with all the sternness of an army drill officer. "Each of these individuals are suspected of having been to sent to assassinate the participants of this Peace Program. As they have proved to be a valid threat to our efforts, I am designating them with an Elimination Target Class 2 status." "What does that mean?" Veronica asked tersely. "What it means, little princess..." Lee taunted in reply. "...is that all of them have been deemed to dangerous to let them run around in one piece. In other words, it's open season for the Hunters as far as they're involved." The dark grin that appeared on his face at the end of his sentence was enough to lower the room's temperature by a few degrees. Both the vampire princess and Mia gave the Asian man weird looks but neither of them spoke. Although each girl's silence was for different reasons.&
