December in the modern day was cold, but not to Amora. She was comfortable in the weather.

She was currently scoping out Westover Hall. The Hunters of Artemis were hunting the manticore.

They had tracked the beast to the school. The Hunters were now waiting for the moment to begin the hunt.

Amora was scoping out the school with small binoculars. All she saw was the dark and cold school filled with hyper children.

She removed the binoculars and stared at the dark sky, watching the snow fall from the dark clouds in the night sky.

"Amora, the beast has left the school. It has taken three kids as hostages." Phoebe, a fellow Hunter told her from behind her.

Amora turned to Phoebe. "Come then, we cannot allow the manticore to escape."

The Hunters left their post to tell their goddess of their findings.

When they did, their lieutenant and goddess told them it was time to begin the Hunt.

When the Hunters were ready, Amora brought the hunting horn to her lips and blew it.

The Hunters began to follow the beast's trail that was left in the snow.

When their prey was visible, Zoë shot first and a silver arrow sprouted from the manticore's shoulder.

The beast staggered backward and wailed in agony.

The Hunters moved into position with their bows ready to fire.

Amora stood next to Artemis and Zoë, the hunting horn was now strapped and hung on her belt while her bow was out and ready to fire.

"Curse you!" The manticore cried.

He unleashed two of his vile spikes at their position. Amora and Zoë responded by shooting arrows at the spikes that were close to hitting them.

Their silver arrows effectively intercepting and splitting the spikes.

While they defended themselves from the spikes. The manticore pulled out the arrow that her lieutenant had shot with a howl of pain.

The beast breathed heavily.

What seemed to be a boy with a sword, tried to attack the beast, but was slammed by the manticore's tail and knocked to the side.

With the boy as a minor distraction. The Hunters came out of the woods and revealed themselves to the beast and hostages.

With determined expressions, Amora and her sisters advanced on the manticore.

"The Hunters!" A blond girl cried.

A familiar punk dressed girl muttered quietly, "Oh, wonderful."

"Permission to kill, my lady?" Zoë said as she stepped forward, keeping her eyes on the beast.

The monster wailed. "This is not fair! Direct interference! It is against the Ancient Laws."

Amora huffed at his words. He was a beast in her eyes, and he needed to be killed.

He had been running for too long anyway in Amira's opinion.

"Not so," Artemis stepped forward. "The hunting of all wild beasts is within my sphere. And you, foul creature, are a wild beast."
