All the heads of The Hunter Families were seated around the table, it felt like fabled historic scene of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table, it felt like a war council because this was exactly what it was. Araya Calavera representative of The Calaveras, Allison Argent representing The Argent Family, even though she was just few weeks from giving birth she had refused to ignore the call and insisting that Matt stayed back home, letting her travel here after I assured Matt that I would make protecting her, her security and her safety my main priority. Ellie was also here, she was one of the youngest inducted hunters to have been trained into our ranks but still she represented her family, The Grace's Family and then there was me, serving as the only representative and member of my family, The Corvinus Family, Ellie and I were in the same positions we were the only members of our families.

" Arrows, bows, guns, rifles, spears, swords, axes, maces and crossbows, the weapon's of the warrior, the instruments of warfare, as the world moves on we hunt the creatures that roam the night and fight a battle unknown to all but for the few of us who see trough the veil of darkness. Like ashes blow with the breeze of the wind so we burn and go up in flames as our blood's been spilled over the centuries ", Allison softly muttered a poem under her breath but we all heard it anyway and at least Ellie and I were enticed by her words, for they had been poetically beautiful.

Without preamble I stated the reason I've summoned everyone here,

" The reason I have gathered everyone here today was to discuss a simple yet important matter, it is in this moment that we will all decide if The Hunter Families will go to war ", my words were greeted with a short silence, it didn't last for too long though.

" Todos nosotros siempre estamos en guerra todas nuestras vidas, siempre estamos luchando contra todas las criaturas de la noche ", Araya Calavera said in her fluent native spanish languague, basically she stated that all of us Hunters had always been at war for all our lives already fighting against the supernatural creatures and monsters that roamed the night.

" We have been shouldered with the knowledge and responsibility of knowing what lies in the unknown, we know what moves in the shadows and midst of darkness, we have been granted with the burden of fighting and keeping the forces that threatened our world at bay, we pay the ultimate sacrifice of laying down our lives and our blood for a cause greater than our own. We are born, we grow, we train, we hunt, we fight, we kill, we die young, we give it our all and the cycle repeats itself continuously, for that is the life of a hunter ", I do not know where it came from but Allison's words seem to bring forth the importance of what we did and of the reason we gave our lives for, smiling at Allison I repeated one of our oldest rules, Allison facial expression turned into a smile as she looked at me, she was like a sister to me, I was like a brother to her, after all we were almost like family, not blood related but tied and bound together by loyalty.
