4. ".The Young Hunter"
The morning sun rises on the east, you can hear the birds sing their beautiful tunes, the gentle breeze of air swayed the leaves in the trees and making the flowers dance. The weather was pleasant to start a new day.
A young man was sleeping peacefully in his room, he's still in the middle of his dream when he was awakened by the loud knocks on the door.
"Ellson!!!" shouted by the man outside the door.
"Ellson wake up! You'll going to be late for the guild's announcement!" when he heard what the man said, he stands up groggily form the bed before opening the door. The image of a tall, dark skinned man was the first thing he saw.
"morning to you too John" he said with an irritated expression, the man replied his statement with a small chuckle.
"well good morning to you too hunter, hurry up or you'll be late" the man named John told him before he went downstairs. Ellson lazily closed the door and went to the bathroom to prepare for the day. As he looks into the mirror, he saw a well-built man with a nice face, his toned muscles are all in the right place, he looks satisfied after he looked at himself before he continued to get a cream and a small knife to prep his beard.
After taking a bath he decided to wear a clean set of white shirt and navy-blue trousers partnered with a belt before he decided to go downstairs for breakfast.
"morning Emma!" he said to the lady who prepared their breakfast in the kitchen.
"good morning Ellson" the lady smiled to him before giving him a cup of black coffee and a plate of eggs and toast to start the day.
"I don't really understand how you convince her to marry you john, Emma is such an amazing woman but you? Oh, I don't know." He ended his statement with an annoying smile as he looks to the man earlier. John glared at him before saying
"shut up and eat, I heard from Cory that there are a lot of quests in the board today." John told him
"there are always lot of quests in the board john."
"but today is different than usual." Ellson looked at john curiously not knowing what he meant by that statement before continued eating his breakfast.

"Hi there Cory!" Ellson greet the middle age lady who sit at the counter in the center of the guild. The lady looked at him and say,
"there are a lot of quest at the board for today Ellson, hurry up and pick one before there's nothing left" Ellson just laugh and asks
"what's the difference of today's quests from yesterday?"
"there are a lot of creatures appeared near the north part of the sanctum forest, they fetch a very high price for their body parts." Cory said
"that's unusual, what in the world may cause that?" there are usually few creatures that can be seen in the sanctum forest for its unique environment that has very tall trees and full of poisonous herbs that can be use for both healing and lethal purposes.
Ellson went to the board and looked at the quests prepared for today. Its either gathering some meat or capturing some animals and creatures from the north part of the sanctum forest. He was thinking to get the quest to capture five snowy deer when his eyes landed on a small piece of paper in the board.
"crimson foxes?" he asked Cory when he saw the quest, the crimson foxes are usually hard to obtain, they run so fast and moves very quickly, they are a very challenging creatures to capture thus they catch the attention of Ellson.
"a quest from an alchemist in the north, he needs to harvest some materials from the foxes for some new kind of medicine." Cory replied
"well, I'm planning to get this quest done"
"alright, just go to the office and they will give you further instructions regarding that one." Ellson just nods before he quickly went to the guild's office for his chosen quest.
