“Insolence!”
Roth slammed his fist into a nearby tree.
“Those assholes couldn’t even retrieve a harmless fey boy. Ranmar is going to have my head”
Ranmar’s second in command drew the hood of his cloak over his head and rode off into the trees to tell his lord of the bad news.
~We’ll have to find a way to defeat that boy with the wings~ Roth thought as he rode off

Moonlight
The full moon eased its way past the heavy froth of cloud and shone its ethereal glow upon the earth beneath it. A single white-cloaked figure, mounted on a white and black horse, stood atop a mountain. Even in the stationary position, the figure seemed to be watching everything.
Almost as if hearing a voice calling, the figure raced down the mountainside, to a destination on the other side of the world.

“A lake!”
Dyre announced as they came to a clearing through the trees. He kicked at Shadow’s flanks and raced towards the river.
“Dyre!” Wes races after him “You have to be careful baka.”
At that time Dyre jumped off Shadow and proceeded to undress.
“Gimme a break Wes” Dyre threw his pants and they almost hit Wes in the face “I’m dirty and my hair desperately needs washing”
Wes caught the pants and slung them over Shadow.
“Fine” he answered, “just don’t let anyone catch you with your pants down”
“I wont”
With that, Dyre jumped in the water.
“Won’t his wings get trashed?” Silen asked, coming up behind Wes and dismounting from his horse.
“They should be alright” Wes replied, scratching his shoulder.
“You alright?” Caden asked
“Yeah I’m fine, just got an itch” Wes replied, moving to stand under a tree
“Have you been bitten by something?”
“Don’t think so” ~damn. I have to stop scratching, but they’ve never itched so intensely before. ~
“Take off your shirt and I’ll have a look,” Silen said as he moved over to Wes. Wes hesitated, but decided against it, as it would only delay the inevitable. He removed his shirt and turned so his back was to Silen.
“What is this, undress Wes day?” Dyre asked as he made his way over. Dyre stopped short as he noticed the tattoo trailing down Wes’s back.
“Wes, what’s that?” he asked shakily
“What does it look like Dyre?” Wes replied irritably.
Dyre stepped closer to Wes and ran his hand along as much of the tattoo as he could.
“Did it hurt?” Caden asked.
“I wouldn’t know, I’ve had it since I was born” Wes replied and Dyre dropped his hand. Wes put his shirt back on and went over to Wing.
“What are you doing Wes?” Dyre asked.
“Setting up camp. It’s almost dark and there’s no point riding this late.”
They all set up camp in silence
“I’ll go get some firewood” Silen announced, and walked off into the forest.
Silen walked through the trees in silence ~he’s a Wingther. I thought they’d all been wiped out. ~ He picked up a few chunks of wood and walked back towards the camp. As he was walking, he noticed a flash of silver through the trees. Dropping the wood, he unsheathed his sword and headed off in the direction of the flash.
As he walked farther into the woods, he noticed the flash stopped. Silen hid behind a bush as he watched a man, with platinum blond hair, busy himself around a small campsite.
“Will you be so kind as to join me? I really hate being watched.”
Silen realized the man knew he was there and he stepped out from behind the bush, sword still in hand. The blond sat on a log by the fire and eyed Silen with ice-blue eyes.
“You can put that away” the man spoke again “I’m not going to hurt you
“I’m just being cautious” Silen replied sheathing his sword “who are you? And why are you on your own?” Silen asked, sitting down on the other side of the fire to the man.
“Do you really want to know?”
“It’ll give me a reason not to kill you.”
“I’m a hunter. I hunt all things un-human or supernatural.”
“Why?”
“Because I can. And it’s the only thing I’m good at theses days. What’s your name kid?”
“Silen Baron”
“I’m Zev, Zev Merquise.”
“I’ve herd of you”
”Oh really?”
“You’re the best hunter there is. Apparently your Dunpeal”
“You know your legends kid.”
“I’m not a kid, but I’d better be going” Silen stood up and started to walk off when Zev stopped him by standing in his way.
“Are you traveling with someone?” Zev looked down at Silen and crossed his arms over his chest.
“Yes, now let me pass.” Silen went to move around Zev but was stopped.
“You heard him, let him pass.” Silen looked up to see Dyre hanging upside-down on a very high branch of a tree.
“Dyre what are you doing up there?”
“Just, hanging around” Dyre began to rock from side to side on the branch.
“How did you get up there?” Zev asked
“Hn.” Dyre grinned and flipped off the branch, willing his wings to move and flew to the ground, landing softly.
“Like that”
“That’s a nice trick you have there fey,” Zev said, pulling out a dagger “but I’m afraid I have to kill you”
“Why?”
“Because I’m a hunter, and it’s my job.”
“Zev, calm down” Silen placed a hand on Zev’ shoulder to stop him from attacking Dyre “that’s not a wise decision”
“Let go of me” Zev tore his body away from Silen’s hand and backed away from him.
“Fine. Lets go Dyre” Silen walked off and motioned Dyre to follow him. Dyre watched Zev carefully as Silen led him away.
