The Hunter (Wednesday x male reader)

The Hunters

It had been three long years since Y/N met the Hunters, since then he has joined them and became one of the many. No longer a weak little boy Y/N has long dark hair separated with several silver rings, his skin was a slight tan with rippling toned muscles underneath. he quickly gained a reputation in the Hunters as the "Cazador" his armor was a sight to behold. A hood with a face guard made from layers of pointed steel, mimicking the appearance of dragon scales. The upper arms are protected by squared, layered metal rerebraces which sit nicely under the shoulder plates. The lower arms are covered by vambraces which have several metal rings attached to the outer sides. The breastplate is made from many layers of smaller metal pieces mixed with horizontal leather strips , mimicking the scales of a reptile. It covers everything from the neck down and ending at the groin, but there's a fairly wide neck line which is somewhat exposed. His legs were covered by steel studded leather cuisses ending in steel toe boots. Atop everything is a rawhide coat, as is customary to the Hunters Y/N  forged and hunted everything needed to make the armor. But I digress, the story needs telling.

I walked out into the small clearing dragging a buck behind me "Ah, Cazador you have brought Supper!" Gerense Whitcom, the leader of our small outfit of hunters spoke up. Silver, shoulder-length hair is pulled back to reveal a chiseled, charming face. Shuttered black eyes, set narrowly within their sockets, watch cheerfully over the camp. There's something puzzling about him, perhaps it's his reputation or perhaps it's simply his perseverance. But nonetheless, people tend to ask him about his adventures, while trying to please him.

"Yes Gerense, ill cook today." I spoke hanging the deer before drawing my knife, it was a very long, thin, barbed blade made of bronze is held by a grip wrapped in extremely rare, red snake leather. With just a razor-sharp point this weapon will make sure your enemies are full of holes with deadly speed and precision, or just as efficiently it could skin a deer.

Over the next hour and thirty minutes I skinned the deer and prepared a simple stew, once supper was done I turned to unstring my bow. This nifty longbow has been admirably constructed of heavy-duty steel. The limbs have been decorated with small sigils and end in narrow points ornamented with intricate carvings of Mephistopheles, a constant reminder. The handle is wrapped in snakeskin and decorated with silk and deer sinew. 

"Cazador," Gerense spoke up "We have a long term job, it may be related to the Legion...specifically Mephistopheles." My head perked up at the name "You taught me to never accept a job for personal gain, why give me this?"  Gerense laughed "Y/N your the youngest of us, we are a dying people...definitely nowadays. I'm 76, every one else here is in there 40's or 50's, we need the youth, and you are the only person in recorded history to survive an encounter with a Legion Lord."

I nodded "what's the price, and where do I have to go?" Someone else walked up .Gray, straight hair neatly coiffured to reveal a furrowed, time-worn face. Freckles are spread charmingly across her cheeks and and leaves a gracious memory of her fortunate looks. "Cazador, they have more than one problem, the client is one Larissa Weems. She offered 5000 Ducat for the head of any Legionnaires and 175 for any smaller beast you hunt during your stay." I couldn't say no to a payout that large, thats a years worth of Ducat for a damn hard job.

"Aye then, Ill work for Weems by my oath as a hunter." On cue all the clamor in the camp ended as all cried out as one "Honor binds us." That night I had a nightmare, The ground trembled as an army of 140,000 advances as a whole. A constant beat of step after step, the vibrations in the ground will make sure even the deaf know this army is coming. The howl of demons and ghouls defense all who listen as the marched at the command of Mephistopheles. They converged on a single complex Nevermore.

How did I do, I do hope you enjoy...also if you have some ideas ill love to hear them!
