A lone hooded figure walked down a path in the woods. Arrows and a bow on his back as a hood covered his head. Bits of leather armor were worn by him as he continued to walk this path.

He was hunting a beast, well at least what the villagers told him it was a beast, that was bothering a small village. His aqua eyes stared at the foliage around him before a small smirk found itself on his lips as he saw it. An animal covered in brown fur with mighty tusk was scavenging for food 20 yards from him, seemingly lost in its search.

He notched an arrow as he took a firing stance and aimed. The animal still had no idea he was there. His smirk wavered a little as he realized how easy this was. That was before he let the arrow loose.

The arrow flew perfectly as it embeds itself into the leg of the animal. It looked over before an arrow made its way into its eye and it squealed in pain as two more arrows hit their mark. One in another leg and the other embedded in its skull.

With a 'thump' it fell to the ground dead as the boy approached it with a stick. He poked it twice, the body slightly twitching, as he tried to figure out a way to both carry it back and eat it. He looked around and saw nothing that could help before cyan lines appeared on his arms as he picked it up. He let out a small grunt as he started on his way back.

The hunter laid the beast down as he inspected it in the light alongside the leaders of this little city. Its brown fur stained with red due to his shots sticking out the most. Its two tusk protruding from its face being very helpful in identifying what it was.

"This isn't a beast," the hunter said, "This is just a boar!"

"A boar it may be, but now it can't terrorize us anymore," one of the leaders said, "But like we promised, here's your payment."

He handed out the small bag of coins to the hunter as he took them and slowly put them away.

"I didn't do this for the money," he told them. His aqua eyes started into their brown eyes as he turned around and left.

"But I'll definitely take it," he muttered as he got farther away. He brought back out the small bag of coins as he shook it slightly, hearing the metal hit each other as he put it back away. A small smile formed on his face as small bits of red lightning surrounded his legs and he took off. His hood flew off his head as his wheat blonde hair with red splotches shone in the light. The red splotches had shrunk for the past two years, as if they weren't even there.

The smile stayed on his face as he saw smoke in the air. He could smell meat being cooked over a fire as he slowed down and observed the group.

Three women were roasting a boar as they seemed to talk to one another. Normally they would be farther in the woods, so this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for our blonde individual to potentially get more training.

His smile never wavered as he walked over to them, even as two of them drew arrows on him with their bows. He just kept walking until he reached them. He quickly observed them and made quick evaluations of them if they were to fight.

'Blonde would be the most dangerous, while the two with their bows drawn would be easy prey. Mainly because she seems too relaxed in this situation.'

The blonde huntress was still cooking the boar, keeping one eye on her companions. She noticed the boy when he started to observe them, but she also saw a small spark in his eyes. This kid was going to be special, she just doesn't know how.
