I grab my brother. He's heavy as fuck but luckily I have upgraded. I lift him up and start carrying him down towards the staircase. As I do that I feel the heaviness of his body. I am able to take him to the entrance of the room and that's when Madden returns to the room.
"I asked you to go get Hunter," I state.
Madden looks over at me. He has this deep bothered look on his face. He just shakes his head at that moment. He sits there and stares at me. I don't get what is happening.
"What?"
"He's not down there any longer. The leviathan went back under water..."
"What do you mean? We have to go find him."
"We need to get Shaunie back to the Guild house," Madden explains, "What are we going to do? Run around and look for Hunter?"
"He could be hurt..."
Madden nods, "Killian, he could be dead."
Madden is serious at this moment. I'm panicking. Hunter could be dead? Why was he jumping to that assumption? I open my menu and send Hunter a message. I send him two more messages. I wait a few minutes. He's not responding. Maybe he's busy. Maybe he doesn't hear the message.
"Teleport with Shaunie back. I'm going to go look for him."
"I can't let you do that," Madden explains.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"There is a dangerous monster back there. You can't get past it. I'm not going to risk it. You and me are sticking together," Madden replies.
He just wanted to abandon Hunter. Madden really just wanted to fucking let Hunter be out there doing whatever alone with no one to protect him. I can't believe he is sitting here at this moment and really telling me this shit. I can't believe that was his fucking plan. Leave Hunter. He was one of our own.
"I gave you an order Madden. I'm your guild leader," I state.
I don't want to be like this with Madden. I don't want to seem bossy but he decided to join this guild. He knew I was the guild leader of the Fire Walkers. If he wanted to be in this guild, he was going to have to follow my orders.
"Fine..."
"Thank you Madden. I have a Teleport stone. I'll go look for Hunter and I'll be back shortly."
I put Shaunie over Madden's shoulder. I take out the Celestial Bow. I was going to keep this bow. It was the most powerful weapon I had come across. I wanted to know what this thing can really do. If it was half as bad ass as it looked then I thought, I could do real damage to this thing. There was a reason Celeste left her bow there. There was a reason that the Celestial bow was the weapon she chose for me. If I could do anything, then I needed to make sure that I did it right.
I turn and get ready to go back out to the Leviathan's cave.
"Hey...Killian?" Madden says from behind me.
I turn, "Yeah?"
"I'm sorry."
I don't see it coming. All I feel is a hard thump as Madden bashes his shield to the back of my head. Almost immediately I am knocked unconscious.
Hunter...
Hunter!
HUNTER!
I wake up almost screaming. I'm dripping in sweat. I'm back in the guild house. I'm back in my room actually. The place is still basic as fuck. There are no real decorations or anything like that. When I wake up I turn to the right to see Noah sitting there. He has his arms crossed.
