The Ravenous
Prologue
Azra
“Hurry!” my father urges me. It was probably the middle of the night when my father woke me to start our run. My father never explained much to me, all he did tell me is that we are being targeted and there was a group of people chasing us through the woods. It had felt like we had been running forever when I hear my father hit the ground in agony. I became panicked when I see an arrow in his left leg. Father! I yell. “No!” he yells back at me, “don‘t stop! Keep running. You must never be caught… Azra… my son, keep our legacy running… please go now!”
I have no choice. So I run, but for some reason I can’t seem to just leave him… I hide behind a tree because I know he’ll get up and get away somehow. Suddenly I see five men walking up to my wounded father. These five men are just standing there… as if they enjoy watching him suffer. That’s when I noticed a mark on the side of the archer’s face. It’s the mark of The Hunter. The Hunter clan is infamous for their creations of extreme poisons, especially the use of poison arrows.
The next thing I know a large man walks closer and lifts a large sword into the air. I know what will come next. I have a small debate whether or not to watch. The large man whispered under his breathe and started to swing down. Instinctively I close my eyes and run.
I stop to look back, I can see the torch light in the distance. I turn to continue my escape, but when I do I slam into something. I fall to the ground, “Oh! Stupid tree!”… “I‘m not a tree stupid child” a chilling voice makes the woods feel ice cold. Time seems to stop. I quickly fill with fear. He was one of the men that had just killed my father.
He grabbed me by the throat and lifted me into the air. I got an unwanted long look into his eyes. They were a deep green with a cobalt blue around his iris. The rest of his face was covered with a type of light armor mask. He laughs and says stop resisting, then he breathes in slowly. I start to feel dizzy. Then I realize what he’s trying to do. He’s trying to take my soul… that’s when I see it, his mark. It’s… No!… don’t… he’s …
