VERNER: The Devil Hunter Blood red flames
Sunflower Village, 8 years ago The bright full moon lit up the night sky, the sun had just set an hour ago and young Verner was in trouble; "Mom is going to kill me!!" he cried and he ran home as fast as he could, sweating heavily. His mother had sent him to get some spices from a nearby market away from the village earlier, but he got carried away by street games and lost track of time. He was really late and had to run as fast as he could before the night got even lonelier. Bats whistled, crickets chirped, owls hooted, the young night was filled with sounds, but as Verner got closer to home, they disappeared slowly, making the journey even scarier "My legs hurt..." he muttered, he stopped to take a break and breathe, sweat dripping from his smooth little boy face. His legs were hurting terribly and so he had to start walking instead of running because he was too tired. All of a sudden, the quiet night became louder, a lot louder, not from bats and crickets, but people, people cry
VERNER: The Devil Hunter To be a devil hunter...
Willow Valley, Present day. "I'll get him this time, this is the best chance I've got". Verner said as he tied a rope to a trap he just set in the forest pathway, waiting for master Rodric to walk by. It's been 8 years since that night, the night he lost his mother, the night his hometown, sunflower village was burnt to the ground. Verner was now 15 and had spent all these years growing and training to be a devil hunter just like master Daegan, the hunter who saved him from the fire that night. Daegan raised and trained Verner personally until he was 12, then handed him over to Rodric, his disciple, in order to help Verner learn from other people as well, but Rodric had other ideas. "I'll prove to him that I don't need any Qi or powers to be a powerful hunter, and I'll do it by beating his ass today". Verner tied the ropes with a sinister smile as he applied finishing touches to his set of traps. Master Rodric walked this path everyday to get to his tea plantation and a set of tra
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Thunder Flash Spear
The sun was shining very brightly on the green leaves in Willow valley which were looking even fresher with water droplets from the morning dew. Verner was back home after his horribly failed attempt to ambush master Rodric. He couldn't help but think about Rodric's challenge. It sounded very casual but there was a huge chance that he wasn't going to be alive by this time tomorrow. He sat in the dojo behind the house, staring at all the swords and weapons hung on the wall. Many of them were enchanted; weapons that have been laced with Qi or spells to give them special abilities. He had only ever used regular weapons during training, but if he was going to survive the night, he had to burrow some of them. "Rodric wouldn't mind if I took a thing or two". He took a bunch of pocket blades and fixed them inside his coat, then he glanced over the swords until he chose one that had a metallic blue coloured blade with a spell inscribed on it. "Thunder flash spear", he read out, slightly con
VERNER: The Devil Hunter The Devil at daytime
" One...two...three..." Verner counted as he waited for whatever was in the bushes to attack him, his sword almost drown out completely, and then... 'SLASH!!!'He whipped his sword out and slashed the air, expecting a way bigger target, but it was just a rabbit, it ran between his legs and hopped off into the bushes again. "Phew..." he picked up his basket and hung it on his back "can't believe I was actually afraid of a bunny" he thought. He wiped sweat off his forehead as he continues his journey home, but he began to hear the rustling sounds again, this time a lot more precise. He paused and looked around, drew his sword out completely this time. "Hello...is anybody there?". The forest was silent, only the birds were chirping, but he wasn't going to let his guard down, he was very sure someone was creeping on him. He stood still, holding his sword with both arms, waiting to strike, and that's when he noticed some vines twisting around his legs, but it was too late... 'GBAM!!...G
VERNER: The Devil Hunter The Six elements
Rodric stood on a hill and looked over the tea plantation, he watched as a few locals picked leaves and put in the baskets hung on their backs, with straw hats to shield their faces from the sun. Rodric owned a large strip of the plantation, and made a lot of money from here. Being one of the Sentinels in the guardian society, Rodric had the luxury of never being sent on missions or to track devils, that was for scouts and majors, sentinels only watched over their home lands, run the business of their respective clans and only get summoned to fight in other lands if a black grade devil or higher emerges. "That kid, I don't even know why I agreed to train him", Rodric rubbed his little purple goatee, his long dark purple hair was covered by his straw hat. "I and Daegan have sold him a dream that will never come true, now he's gonna die young, for nothing" Rodric's face turned very sour, he was deep in thought. "Even if I drop the challenge and force him to shut up I can't protect him
VERNER: The Devil Hunter I'm not special
"Thunder Flash Spear... RELEASE!!!"In a split second, Brogan's saw a flash of lightning blitz past him, then Verner appeared behind him, taking the exact same stance he did before the flash attack. "What is this, I can't move my body, how did he pull this off?". Brogan thought, he tried harder to move but couldn't. "Everything...the world seems to be in slow motion, including my body", he noticed a bug that was flying past him, except that it was frozen in mid air. "I only saw a flash of lightning and the boy just disappeared, if my theory is correct, and what I've heard is true, then..." "After lightning...comes the thunder"'GBOOMM!!!' A roaring thunder sound exploded through the air and a massive slash opened on his chest, the rocks that coated his arms broke into pieces at the same time. The thunder flash, an attack so fast his body didn't even sense that it had been cut, and this brat with no Qi just pulled it off. "Did I just...lose?" he asked himself as he collapsed to h
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Sunset
The sun slowly faded away in the evening sky, the night drew nearer and nearer, with it's devils that dance under the moon and stars, and eat any human that they come across. Rodric walked back home, he walked through the same path he followed in the morning, the path he followed every day, he scoffed when he came across the traps Verner set earlier in the morning. "I wonder what he's up to" Rodric said as he continued to walk home, feeling a little uneasy, a little guilty. "It's part of the training...it's part of the training" he repeated, trying to make himself feel less guilty, even though he knew he wasn't supposed to be. He arrived at his house, it was very quiet, unusually quiet, "aren't the boys home?" he started feeling uneasy again, but then... "Honey...you're home" Amah came out of the door, combing her long black hair, she leaned for a kiss but he didn't respond. "Why are the boys so quiet?""The ate a little too much this afternoon, so they fell asleep early" "Where's
VERNER: The Devil Hunter The Devils' dance
Pine grove valley, 3 nights ago. The half moon in the night sky was shining brighly over the little village. Most families had already locked their doors and shut themselves off for the night as they heard rumors of a devil in the mountains. Their only source of confidence was that a sentinel hunter lived in willow valley which was a few kilometers away, probably why only a few devils dared to come close to the village, but that wasn't enough. Tito, a man was riding on his bicycle through the forest path with his 9 year old daughter seated at his front, he elongated the bike saddle so both of them could sit properly, they were coming back home after a good day at the market and the sun had set just an hour ago. "Dad I'm scared..." the girl said."It's ok Nina...nothing will happen, we're just a little late, we'll be home any minute from now" he comforted his daughter. He was terrified too, the nights these days were so quiet because everyone got into their homes as soon as the sun

The majors vs the primordial
A few minutes ago: The three majors stood over the rooftops of the metropolitan buildings, surrounding the business complex that had Bane's wine bar at the ground floor, they were getting ready for a full scale invasion as they had gathered substantial intel on the identity and potential of the devil that ran this undercity business empire, black night number one, Bane. "How long are we going to wait out here Marvin?, it's almost ten o clock" Renae the new major of the thunder clan seemed very impatient, at the age of 21 she had never fought a black night before and didn't understand how much more powerful they'd be than the common red grades, Marvin the fire major and Hugo the major of the water clan were a lot more experienced and knew better than to jump in this early in the night "We'd be better of waiting here as long as we can, if what we heard is true then this devil we're about to face must be extremely powerful" Marvin stated. "The closer we are to sunrise the greater our

The daywalker
Bane's wine bar, the capital city, 9:30 pm A beautiful horse driven carriage pulled over at the front of Bane's establishment, a couple of men who stood around where drawn by the very fancy vehicle and the two brown horses that pulled it. Two hefty men who were most likely body guards stepped out of the carriage from the doors on both sides and one of them offered a hand to help their mistress step out. Belzara walked out of the carriage and looked around, she wore a very long suit jacket and trousers over a white top and black tie which was elevated by her huge breasts, as well as a black hat over her head to conceal her little red horns, her blood red eyes glowed in the dark of the night and her lips were the same colour. She walked into the bar hurriedly and was swiftly followed by her bodyguards, the men who hung around the bar had all their eyes on this fascinating lady, a few of the regular customers could have sworn that they had seen her here before. Belzara went into Bane's

A dangerous secret
Tywin arrived at the disaster management base on the island at sunset, the same place where Cedar was taken to for treatment, he brought Erik's dying body and cried out for help as many of the staff rushed and relieved his injured comrade from his hands. Tywin himself was very worn out, he had a punctured lung and many damaged organs and bones after fighting both Zaltar and Hector, the attendants tried to walk him in but he kept on wailing and just knelt on the ground. "Tywin..." He raised his head up and saw Daegan standing in front of him, Daegan had arrived on the island's sea port an hour ago after Cedar sent a pigeon to him during the night, just after Valdrik's invasion began, he took a horse ride to the management base as he couldn't find the interns he was supposed to carry home. "Where are the others?,...Verner, Skylar, where are they?!!" Tywin just stared at Daegan, he saw the grief Tywin's eyes, the poor boy must have seen very terrible things today, and that could only

True freedom
Hector was aghast as he watched Verner's halved arms fully regenerate, a million thoughts ran through his mind as the horror scene played out in broad daylight, a human with the power of devils?!!, a devil that managed to survive the sun?!!, whatever this brat was he definitely wasn't a normal human being. Hector shook himself out of his appalled state and drew his sword then charged at Verner; "I'll kill you again!!, damn devil!!!"He got to Verner and slashed at him, he gasped in shock as Verner had vanished from his sight and stood behind him "That's my sword isn't it?" Verner pulled out the thunder flash spear from Hector's strap and took it out of it's sheath, Hector growled and spun quickly to strike him again and Verner halted the attack with his own sword, a shockwave tore through the air as their blades jammed each other "He's a lot faster and stronger now, this is bad!!, this is very bad!!" Hector thought, Verner released his sword from the blade lock and attacked Hector

A zombie
"Where am I?...what happened to me?...where is everyone?,...Tywin, Erik...Skylar..." The island's forest had become very quiet and only the sounds of chirping birds could be heard, Verner's body laid in a pool of his own blood as his two arms were cut in half and his head was drilled open by Hector's dagger, all of which spilled blood like a bursted tank. The sun was at it's brightest and high up in the sky which meant it was midday, Verner's eyes slowly blinked as he gradually regained consciousness "Who am I kidding?,...why am I even doing all of this?,...I'm just a pathetic and powerless brat,...I don't deserve to be a devil hunter,...I don't have any reason to live anymore,...I should just die already,...yeah...maybe then I'll finally meet my mother,...that was all I ever wanted,...wasn't it?..." Verner began to see memories of his childhood, back when he was just a little boy, when he would come back home after spending a whole day playing with the village children, when his

Mission accomplished
Tywin, Erik and Skylar hid themselves in a building on the island, the place seemed to be an abandoned guest house that probably had all it's inhabitants evacuated during the devil attack early this morning. Skylar sat on a chair with her face in her palms, Erik paced around the room and Tywin peeked outside a narrowly opened window, looking out for any signs of Verner or Hector. "Anything yet?" Erik asked and broke the silence, Tywin shut the window and sighed in frustration, "no" he replied coldly. Erik had his hands on his waist and stared at the ground, deep in thought, Tywin bumped his forehead gently on the window repeatedly, the whole room was very tense and moody, they didn't know what to think, what to feel, they could only imagine what Verner would be going through out there, they felt it was best to hide incase Hector got rid of Verner too quickly and chased after them. "Why is all this happening to me?!!,...what did I ever do to deserve this?!!, all I wanted was a good

Hector strikes
"Tywin, Erik, take Skylar and run as fast as you can, I'll hold him off" Verner commanded, watching Hector very sternly, Tywin didn't seem to agree with his request; "No way Verner, this guy can kill you!!, if we're going to stop him we'd have to fight together" "We cant!!, you two are badly wounded, he'd take you both out immediately and I can't let that happen, get away from here as fast as you can, find somewhere to hide, we can't let anything happen to Skylar." Hector grinned as he watched Verner's heroic act, the whole scene was just so comedic to him, this kid really thought he stood a chance against him in a fight, or he was probably just sacrificing himself, both ways the result would just be his death and it would all be for nothing. Tywin left with Erik and Skylar, she took one last glance at Verner before turning to leave, this was most likely the last time she'd ever see him and the thought of that made her so distraught. Verner and Hector were now all alone, Verner

She's not worth it
Guardian society disaster management and paramedics arrived at the resort as the sun rose fully, they had a base at one end of the island as they do in every major residential area in Celestra to help survivors and bring medical support after battles with devils like these, the resort was in total shambles and all that was left was ash and wreckage of the destroyed buildings and facilities. Verner, Skylar and the other interns gathered around Cedar as he got his wounds treated and bandaged then placed in a stretcher. Tywin, Astrid and Erik also got their injuries tied up as well, Zaltar's cold blood attacks took a huge toll on them but it not nearly as bad as Cedar who might never be able to fight again. Cedar took one last glance at each of his students "Verner, Tywin, Erik... you..." he said as he couldn't remember Astrid's name, "The four of you should take Skylar and head to the port, this island is no longer safe for any of you, or anyone at all, I sent my pigeon to HQ last

The decisive battle
Valdrik stood still and really considered the stakes here, he knew very well that his plan to capture Skylar today was very implausible as time was not on his side, the sun would be up in any minute from now and he'd be doomed, Zaltar and the monsters that he sent after the princess had not given any signal till now, he already began to assume that they were dead, the odds were all stacked against him but he knew that if this operation was botched he would never get a chance like this again. He slammed his fist into his palm and summoned a ring of red flames around himself, Cedar smiled gleefully and spun his sickles; "So this is how you want it to be huh?!!""Dark magic arts; Crimson death wheel!!!" Valdrik launched himself with his red flames towards Cedar, he had to finish this battle as soon as possible or it would be over for him, this fight was all or nothing, Cedar ran towards him as well and swung his sickles at him, Valdrik was wading them all off with his flame covered fi
