Monster Hunter

Part 23

SAMURAI~

The wind howled- as a group of children rushed to the safety of their homes. Their parents told them whenever a storm approached they should always find shelter—as soon as possible.

Dark clouds drew closer to the village of Crioux. Thunder rumbled in the sky. One young child was curious when he saw the lightning strike the ground. It took a samurai form. That was something that you don't see everyday.

A piercing cry was heard near the main village's entrance way. The young kid hid in one of the crates. He peeked through the tiny holes of the object.

The little boy, Svrok, peeked through one hole of the crate. His eyes could not unsee what he saw.

A young man's head was detached from his body. The Samurai had moved like lightning. The beheaded man didn't see the blade coming.

The woman fell to her knees and thanked the Samurai for saving her. Then in a blink of an eye, the Samurai vanished. Svrok had to look twice where the Samurai once stood.

All of a sudden the dark clouds cleared. The woman told the young child to head home.
