The Hunter With Change: Rebirth.

Amongst the night.

{The Stalkers}

Haruto as a child runs forward, through the snow in his village. Towards the forested area.

"I'm going to kill that wolf! I'm going to kill it!"

Haruto whispers to himself angrily, gripping a knife as he runs through the woods..

"Just follow it's damn footsteps! I'll find it!"

Haruto finally reaches an open area of the woods, where he sees the wolf lying down.

Haruto slightly smiles, almost sinisterly.

"There you are."

He grips his knife and approaches the wolf. The wolf lifts its head to him, exhausted. It lets out a while as Haruto notices its broken leg.

His smile quickly turns to a frown as he drops the knife..

"You just... you needed to survive too. Like that Fox... I'm sorry."

Haruto walks away. From behind a tree his dad approaches him.

"I'm proud of you, Haruto."

"Dad?! You're here too?"

"Come with me Haruto. I have to show you something."

The two walk through the snow filled forest, walking between frost glazed trees. They eventually reach an edge of a small cliff, looking down at a beautiful pond.

Haruto's face lights up. The sun reflects off the pond, allowing the water to glisten and gleam. The bright snow only furthers the glistening.

"Haruto... you must never lose sight of what this world truly is. This world is-"

Haruto interrupts his father as a tear falls from his face.

"This world... is so beautiful."

THE HUNTER WITH CHANGE.

REBIRTH.

Book one: Shadows.

Amongst the night.

March 20th

Shimosuwa

Token and Sumire face down the demon ahead of them. The demon has an ash grey skin color with long white hair. It's face looks like it's covered in thick metal bars. From the palm of its right hand, a large crescent shaped blade extends out. The points of the crescent pointing inward in himself. "Sumire! Get back! I'll keep you safe." Sumire retreats back as Token focuses ahead of him. Damn this demon is strong. That blade attached to its hand is really annoying too, making it hard to reach its neck. The demon rushes forward, in a floaty way that makes it almost look like a phantom.

Token: flame breathing: second form! Rising scorching sun!

Flames appear along Token's blade as he swings his blade in an upward slash, blocking the demons blade. He swings himself around and goes straight for the demons neck. The demon fades away and appears out of the shadow behind Token. Token quickly uses both hands to hold his sword behind his back, blocking the strike. The recoil from blocking the strike sends waves through his body as he's blown back. He looks down at his left wrist and realizes he injured it with that block just now. It's strong, that one attack dislocated my wrist?! Token quickly turns around and attacks once more.
