The Astral Dance Of Nightmares

The fishing Hamlet

3rd POV

The walk was a hefty and cumbersome one as they had to go through miles and miles of the forbidden forest and even had to go through some sort of strange lake that seemed to have a strong mist present with it at all times so they had to go around the lake only to find out that it only lead to further walking until they found a boat that could take them to the fishing hamlet effectively cutting their time done from another 2 days of walking to inlet 6 hours of boat riding with this villager that seemed to have come from the Hamlet but non of us said anything about it "so how many of you are going to our village" the Captain of the boat asked "only a Couple of us like 20" Laurance said acting as 'sane' as he could "well it's going to be 2 trips as my boat only fits about 12 sadly" the Captain said with a sign but as he did Zeke, Ludwig and more of the others noticed that he had fish gills on his lower neck "ok well Ludwig and Laurance why don't you stay here with the others while we head to the village to see if they have a inn or field large enough for all of us" Gehrman said and the other two agreed.

While the other were busy sorting out the story and a deal with the Captain to let them cross the ways Zeke and Maria found a spot where they could just sit and relax for a bit "so Zeke I could see you getting upset when I said I was spending the night with Gehrman now why is that" Maria teased but the boy could only blush before kissing the female hunter and saying "well you know why but that does heart when you are willing to spend the night with others" Zeke protested "oh you know I only jest right" Maria said judging the boy when the boat started sailing making the boy fall on Maria "well I can tell someone likes us like this" Maria said with a slight giggle as Zeke became flustered so much that he shot straight up and offered his hand for Maria. Yes those to have been having a secret life together when they are out of sight from the others and when they are not on the hunt they are spending it together but while on duty they are both hunters and friends but that does not stop her from teasing Zeke to just make him jealous of others.

After some time alone Maria went up first to make it seem less suspicious and then Zeke went up too  and he fist aw some of the villagers and their deformed bodies.

"By the great ones, it's true" Laurance said with a surprised face to him "close your mouth you'll catch Crows with it" Gehrman said with a slight chuckle and as we drew Zeke noticed that some of the hunters started reaching for their trick weapons "do not even try it you could all put everyone and Yharnam in danger" Zeke half whispered half shouted at them and they stopped there before it could get any worse off.

After 10 more minutes they finally arrived at the docks that was just beside a cliff "when we get off stay together but also keep a eye out for a way to find the great one got it" Zeke, Maria, Laurance, Ludwig and Gehrman telling the rest of the hunters what they have to do while at the Hamlet.

Zeke's POV

When we stepped off the boat  the first thing we all noticed was that the entire hamlet was covered in fish oils and overflown with barnacle along with all the water but the thing that we all finally noticed that all of the villagers have started to transform into fish like state "well I guess we won't be staying in a inn then" I said gaining a couple of chuckles from the others "welp who's up for sleeping in a field" I Said again and started walking towards the cliff "wait where do you think your going" Maria started to shout but I already started to head off and before I knew it I was in the middle of a field with a villager "is this a good spot for your friends to set up camp" yes good sir I do believe it is and thank you for helping us stay here so that we can save our town, do you want to meet some of our leaders" I said bringing my friendliest smile that I could make "there you are Zeke, I found him" I heard Gehrman shout from behind me "aww Gehrman you do care about me" I said but got an angry stare back which means that someone told him off .

During the time we ended up getting the fish guy to talk about the great one that washed up on the shore and that it housed some parasites in it that they eat which made them start to transform into these fish like men and women and also the Captain also bring the rest of the hunters which means that we can move onto stage 2 of the plan "well it's been fun but" that's all I said before reaching for my scythe and before he could scream I shoved it into his neck so that he couldn't scream Andre others started lighting incense to mask the smell of the blood "ok Gehrman split him open" Ludwig said while patting me on the back "start getting people into hunting parties tonight the hunt begins in the Fishing Hamlet" Ludwig said before grabbing his Moonlight blade and splitting the top part of the bodies head off revelling 'eyes on the inside'  which resulted in the hunters becoming hyped and drawing their trick weapons.

"Zeke take a team of hunters and take the docks then start making your way to town, we will meet you there" Gehrman said then gesturing towards 5 hunters that had saw cleavers and torches "you five come with me were taking the docks" I said walking down the hill with the hunters behind me but I heard eleven pairs of foot prints instead so I turned around and was greeted by Maria running with her five as well "so your coming with me then" I said looking at her in the eyes and when I did I only saw sadness "listen Zeke we don't have to murder all these people you know" Maria whispered in my ear "sadly we do otherwise we will bee marked as traitors to the church and other hunter will no doubt be told that we had become drunk with blood and they will believe and if you do not then I will carry your sins to help you along the way so that you do not have to bare this heavy burden Maria" I replied and she smiled at me for it which means that she agrees.

"Hunters Tonight we hunt the Fishing Hamlet" I shouted connecting my blade to the Handle creating my  Scythe and raising it up next to the moon and "this is the day we go to hell" I whispered under my breath
