Between: Hope and Despair

Chapter 11: The Arrow of the Storms

Narrator: "We fast forward to the next day when the 4 make it to Kurent with the help of the hunter and his son, Daniel, who in fact is the one with the pendant."

Dillon: "My head is killing me. Where am I?"

Annabelle: "Kurent. You and Luis passed out while we were saved by a hunter and his son."

Dillon: "So Luis is in another room?"

Annabelle: "Yep, he is getting medical attention right now and Jake is talking to that hunter's son."

Dillon: "Why?"

Annabelle: "He has the Pendant of the Yellow Eye."

Dillon: "Really?! Ow fucking shit!"

Annabelle: "Be careful and yes he does, Jake noticed it while he was helping him bring Luis here."

Dillon: "Okay then."

Narrator: "In Kurent, the people create bow and arrows to hunt for what few animals that live in this cursed place. They used to train in sandstorms and thunderstorms to improve accuracy."

In a different room Jake is talking to Daniel.

Jake: "Daniel listen, you are the reason why we are here."

Daniel: "Okay, why is that?"

Jake: "This pendant means you are destined to wield the sacred weapon of Kurent."

Daniel: "Why does this pendant mean that?"

Jake: "It holds a special power that your family is able to bear it and use it."

Daniel: "So I am the only one who can use it."

Jake: "You took the words right out of my mouth."

Daniel: "Nice."

Jake: "So you should talk to the chief ASA-."

Villager 1: "Run!"

Villager 2: "There is a strange, giant, black serpent attacking the village."

Jake: "That sounds like an Impurity! Annabelle since Dillon and Luis can't fight rich now we have to take this thing out."

Annabelle: "Got it."

Daniel: "Can I help?"

Jake: "You can try, but don't get too close. You can die if you're not careful."

Daniel: "Good thing I attack from a distance."

Jake: "Lets take this thing down!"

Then Jake immobilizes the beast with a well placed icicle and Annabelle manages to weaken it with poison, but they can't aim a shot at its head until...

Daniel: "You're done"

An arrow lands perfectly between the eyes.

Jake: "Nice."

???: "I applaud to you young hunter."

Daniel: "Chief Eliza!"

Eliza: "I knew I had heard about 4 children carrying unusual weapons and wearing similar pendants."

Annabelle: "Then you saw what Jake and I did right?"

Eliza: "Yes, so I suppose that this hunter here, with another similar pendant permission for the shrine correct?"

Jake: "Exactly."

Eliza: "Here is a pass with my signature. I need to go ahead and meet the two children that are getting medical attention as we speak, is that alright?"
