[1] Getting Struck

Hunter dodged an ice attack, rolling to the side to avoid it. He struck back at the human with his artificial staff, sending a glowing red beam at them. The Owl Lady knocked the human out of the way with a grunt, barely avoiding the beam herself.

"You're making this much more difficult then it has to be," The Golden Guard said, teeth gritted underneath his mask.

"Well, that's perfect for us!" The Owl Lady, Eda, responded. Eda whipped out a piece of paper, shooting a ball of fire at Hunter. It shocked him, and he just narrowly avoided it.

Hunter's mask was knocked off, revealing his face. Hunter muttered a curse in frustration, going to grab the mask, only to have it knocked aside by an ice glyph.

"That's it!" Hunter yelled. "No more playing around!"

Hunter shot multiple beams at them, trying to get them to waste as many glyphs as possible. The strategy worked, the human running out of glyphs.

The Golden Guard grinned, walking towards the human. The human fumbled around for something to use, desperation clear in her eyes. She backed up, before her eyes landed on a white flower with small pink orbs floating around it.

She leaped towards it, catching Hunter off-guard. The human ripped the flower out of the ground, launching it at the Guard's face. A pink glaze covered his eyes for a moment, temporarily dazing him.

"Eda, quick! Lets go now!" Luz shouted, leaping onto Owlbert. Eda was quick to follow, and together they soared off.

When Hunter came to, he looked around for them. He let out a shout of frustration when he saw them gone, knowing that he had failed yet another mission. Hunter groaned, grabbing his mask out of the dirt, giving it a quick clean.

"Well, time to go home I guess..." he said, holding his staff. He teleported away, going back to the Emperor's Castle.
