What a joke. Who the hell does she think I am? I'm a hunter. I don't get involved into witch craft nonsense and I definitely don't get involved with the royal department. I'm not going to play the role of some love sick pretty boy, just so I could get close enough to the girl and poison her with an apple! If I want something, I get it done myself, I don't rely on some stupid, supposedly 'poison apple' to finish my kills. It just isn't necessary.

So that is why I'm off to the forest east from town. I know thats exactly were she would be. She would've only just noticed the wall, and would be heading for that forest to walk around it. Yea won't be happening if I can help it.

The wall was built by Magnolia when the girls mother died and then her father kept the girl from ever seeing the outside world. But it wasn't meant for keeping the girl in, it was for keeping people out.

If you are into magic and what not, you could call it a some sort of a portal I suppose. But why go through so much trouble for just one girl? She isn't that special, is she?

There has been small rumors saying that the reason why Magnolia put the wall up was because the girls beauty was farer than of hers and she did not want anyone to compare her beauty to hers.

But the wall is only temporary. Once Magnolia gets her hands on her, she wishes for her part of the bargain her and the girls father had made years and years ago. When the girl is 18 she must be handed over to Magnolia and be kept as her prisoner.

Her father being the coward he is, did not oblige to this for who knows what reasons. Oh right, he's a coward. If the girl did not get given to her, Magnolia was going to curse him and his family with very mis fortunate bad luck. At first the man did not accept and so it is why the mother is gone.

So this is where we all are now. The man was smart however. If only one could get out and not enter, how was Magnolia supposed to capture his precious child? But didn't he know keeping an adventurous, persistent young girl, trapped inside one place her whole life, would want to come out and see the world? Obviously not.

And this is where I come in. Why do I have to do the honors of capturing the damsel in distress and giving her to Magnolia on a silver platter? Easy. I didn't have the choice. I don't hunt humans, it's not my style. I'm not that kind of person that takes joy in killing things, I wouldn't call myself a physco stalker killer. I only hunt animals to keep myself alive and to provide for the butchers. That's all.

Once I got given the news that Magnolia wanted me to hunt and capture a young girl and return her to her, I called quits. I was happy enough to give my life to another with purpose. I don't belong here anyway. I've been through enough hell.

Magnolia refused to waste such 'talent', so she offered something in return, something that made my decision clear within a heart beat. To return to my time.

So this is why I'm here, in the most dangerous part of town, in the most dangerous part of the forest hunting for someone who could bring me back to where I belong.

They call these parts of the forest the 'cursed' part. According to the legends, there is a wild beast of some sort that lurks within these forests, waiting for it's new prey. No one has ever seen it of course, but I guess the ones that have had been close enough to be able to be eaten in the process.
