The Hunter's blind heart.

Chapter 6 ( part 1 )

"Argentea! Where are you, baby girl?" My mother always yells at me, but I love to escape home for a few hours and watch the hunters train.

They possess their own arena, fighters, and impressive weaponry!

I am eager to improve my skills by training alongside my peers. I have confidence in my abilities, as my father Th'syra - whose name means "skull" - is a skilled hunter who specializes in stealth and swift elimination without leaving a trace.

My father and his clan were among the pioneers to participate in the annual chiva ritual, which involved a hunt and winning a brand. However, that particular year's chiva was unique and unlike any other in the past.

Many of the hunters who arrived that year, including my father, now live with their mate, a mate they will live with for the rest of the days.

When they arrived, a part of the world was not the same as they knew, there was a very strong, dark, and cruel enemy who enjoyed torturing and conquering what he liked best.

This 'monster' is part of the royal family of our people, and she is a woman.

She has always been attracted to the dark power and to gain the throne she killed her parents by corrupting and deceiving her brothers.

The throne did not get it, but that did not stop it, it continued to kill and to make many other peoples succumb at its feet until with a last war it returned from the hole where it had arrived.

The war lasted 100 years with many casualties, but now there is peace. However, my father believes it won't last since the enemy was only wounded, not killed.

This victory was achieved thanks to our warriors, hunters, and sorcerers. The sorcerers use alchemy to heal their companions and protect them from the enemy's corruption.
