Three cycles of the planet passed, and the second clan leader requested him this time, which he thought was unusual, but he couldn't ignore a request. Embrance headed down to the main gathering area and found the hunting group arriving. This group was much larger than
the last one, and he could see the other doorway opener there in front of them. This one was a female, and she looked like she was getting ready to open a doorway—which he found odd, because they needed two openers for such a large group. As he came up to them, it was the same as it was. The insults and crude behaviors as he moved through the crowd to find the hunt leader. Embrance could report this to the clan leader since they had to give him a certain amount of respect since he was a doorway opener, but to him it only made more problems for him. As long as they didn't try to cause physical
harm or disrupted him from making the doorway, he put up with the name-calling, jeering, and sneering, ignoring it. When he got to the other side, the female doorway opener was attempting to make the large cut with disappointing results. She would complete it, only to watch it snap back closed with a thunderous noise. The female was about five feet nine inches, a bit taller than he, and looked older than him. She wore a black shirt, dark-brown faded jacket that reached down to her waist with long sleeves, stained and torn, light-brownish pants, and no shoes. Her hair was partially pinned to the sides of her head by black bands, with the rest flowing down just past her shoulders. Her irises were a lighter purple.
Embrance walked up to her, breaking her concentration as he politely said, **I am here as requested. Respectfully, where is the hunt leader?**
She snapped quickly around and faced Embrance with an angry and disgusted look on her face. She mentally sneered, **I didn't request you! I requested Braiack for this hunt. Leave, oddity, you are not welcome here!**
Embrance became irritated; he didn't need to take abuse from someone with the same abilities! That was uncalled for! Who did she think she is? Requesting? That was for the hunt leader to do! With a sharp tone, he replied, **I am not here to speak with you. Where is the hunt leader? Clearly, there is a problem with instructions, and personally, seeing your sad attempt to make a cut, you obviously need more practice! The hunt leader was right to call for extra assistance! So where is the hunt leader?**
The female looked at him in disbelief. She then folded her arms across her chest and replied angrily, gritting her teeth, **I am the hunt leader!**
Now it was Embrance's turn to look shocked. He knew she had no reason to lie to him because dishonesty was greatly frowned upon by their species. He swallowed hard. **You...you can't be...**
