Mane's Glow
*BOOM*
The flame dragon- or at least what was left of it- crashed into the seventh and last wall. Despite looking dispirited and far dimmer than it was before, the majesty of a dragon was exuded from its being. Although summoned from the flames, the fire dragon gave off the aura of a real dragon. The seventh wall faced the same fate as its brothers before- destruction. Yet it had served its true purpose, for the flaming dragon was almost extinguished, its light diming very quickly. As the flames slowly died out, Abe could finally make out Mane's figure from across the field.
The blue haired boy looked visibly exhausted, even more than he was. His face and clothes were drenched in sweat. Though it was hard to say what caused the sweat. After all, he had literally been playing with fire all along. Across the grounds Mane smiled at him. It was a smile filled with pride. Abe noticed that Mane's pride was not for himself, but for his friends. The

Hunters: The Prequel Son Of Lightning
The bolt of lightning that struck Mane was powerful, the shockwave from its descent knocking Abelard and Jake onto the ground. They could hardly believe that the target of that lightning bolt looked so energetic and well. There were no signs of injury on Mane. The only evidence of the difficult battle were his dirty clothes and dusty face. The former exhaustion was nowhere to be seen."How is that even possible?" Jake asked with disbelief as he struggled to get back onto his feet. He fell the first few times, finally managing to pick himself up on his fourth try. Scepticism filled his voice as he sought to understand what was happening before him. Lightning was a destructive element. It was one of the rarer forces of nature. As an uncontrolled beast, it gave life and took it back on its whims. Fire was birthed from this great element, and although fire in itself was destructive, it paled in comparison to its parent.What they had just witnes
Hunters: The Prequel Moody Abe
*crackle* *crackle*"Abe? Abe? Abe!" Jake roughly shook Abe to grab his attention."Yeah…yeah. Sorry about that" Abe smiled embarrassingly when he finally came to."You were reliving it, weren't you" Jake said, the confidence in his tone showing that he didn't require an answer. He already knew the answer. Abe nodded at his words. He looked to John and the two newbies. "Lucky bastards" he mumbled softly under his breath."What was that?" John asked, puzzled by Abe's unnatural loss of concentration."Nothing. I was asking if you needed a fresh one." Abe lied without batting an eye, pointing at the block of ice John was applying to his shoulder. The fall from the explosion in the earlier duel had caused a bit of swelling. Mane had frozen some water into ice blocks and wrapped them in towels for any injuries. Luckily, there were no severe injuries."No thanks. This one
Hunters: The Prequel The Glow That Remained Hidden
"Got to hand it to you kid. You actually pulled it off" Mane walked lazily towards the door before him. He pulled a bunch of keys from his pocket and inserted one of them into the keyhole. A clicking sound was heard when he twisted the key, indicating that he had pushed in the right one. He pushed the door open to reveal what lay within- the healing springs. There were at least eighteen of them. Even royalty would marvel at the lavishness of the one to whom this belonged."Not necessarily. If I didn't use my glow, I wouldn't have succeeded." Mane replied to the 6th's earlier comment. He bent down to assess one of the pools. The pool was as clear as the others in the room, and seemed to give off a green hue."They have been restocked." Mane stated. "I wonder, when did he get this done?" It was a question to no one in particular. As for who the mystery person was, only Mane knew."His talent in alchemy is very high. To thi
Hunters: The Prequel Lavishness
"Man, you folks do know how to enjoy life. What a luxury" Inside the treatment room, the official and unofficial members of the Silver wolves team were each soaking in separate healing springs."I know right. Emperors would be spitting out their tea if they knew we were using healing pools for such minor injuries" Frederick chimed in. He had a relaxed and refreshed smile on his face as he soaked in the pool.Although their injuries could not really be referred to as light, no one refuted Frederick's words. On Zandor, no one- absolutely no one- would use healing springs for this purpose. Although prestigious royal families could afford the pools with almost no difficulty, enlisting an alchemist was the main challenge. They were rare and scarce. And those who were enlisted by royal families would feel insulted if asked to build a healing spring for a few bruises and fractures. Royal families wouldn't risk losing the service of an alchemist jus
Hunters: The Prequel Answering A Few Questions
Why don't you start by telling us how it is you are a spiritualist?" Abe asked."Simple. I meet the criteria. Next question." Mane answered nonchalantly."Could you be clearer with your explanations?" Abe's brows twitched in annoyance"Ok. To be a spiritualist one must have a high level of intelligence and a soul based bloodline." Mane stated."That is the norm" Selina interjected. "Don't tell me that it is false?" she continued. Over the past few days, she had learned that most of what she believed in were untrue. She wouldn't be surprised if Mane said the requirements for becoming a spiritualist were not entirely so. Maybe there was a loophole that many were unaware of."Oh they are very true. In fact, the only other way to become a spiritualist is through a bloodline transference technique performed by a spiritualist. But it is a high risk technique. Even high level Spirituali
Hunters: The Prequel Chaos...And Beating About The Bush
What is chaos? Many believe that the world was born from destruction. Why? Because with death comes life. Seems like a pretty sound explanation but it has a major flaw. How can there be destruction without life? How can an inanimate object die? How can there be destruction in the first place, if there was no life? The plants wither, and the flowers fall. Eventually everything falls into the cold embrace of death. Eventually everyone, no matter how unwilling, would have to meet death. Whether you would be happy to meet the grim reaper or not, the reaper would definitely be happy to see you. Impermanence. That is what it is. The very simple fact that everything is temporary. The simple truth that nothing lasts forever. So what does destruction do? Destruction is unto life as a catalyst is unto a biological or chemical reaction. Better still, a biochemical reaction. Catalysts play a major part in life. They have several properties, the most common and important of them being their abil
Hunters: The Prequel It Truly Begins Part I
"Today my daughter is finally engaged! In honour of this grand day, I serve every patron here for free!!!""YEAH!""I only ask that you join me in merry making!""YAY!"In a tavern of a large city, a middle aged man with a huge jug of ale was standing on the counter. His belly was as round as an iron pot and looked just as weighty. He had a huge smile on his face, his words sluggish and his eyes hazy. He was clearly drunk. Any sane person would have dismissed his words as that of a drunk. But the people in here were not sane now, were they? They were just as drunk, if not more. And they looked just as disoriented. Yet even those who had yet to reach their limits rejoiced at the words of the man. Why? Because he owned the tavern. If he said everything was for free, then it was."Get down father, please. You may hurt yourself." A pretty young woman who looked to be in her early twe
Hunters: The Prequel It Truly Begins Part II
"So what did you come here for? I keep saying this and I'll reiterate, you know that we cannot be seen together." Loki continued to swirl the liquid that turned sane men crazy in his cup. He still made no attempt to drink it."You're not even going to take a sip?" Ares asked."Not a drop" Loki replied, still swirling the ale."You sure are one weird Asgardian. I reckon you're the only Asgardian who doesn't take any alcohol. Yet you are more insane than them all. Maybe it is a good thing you have this habit. You say it makes the sane man insane, don't you? I fear that if you ever got drunk, your insanity would be beyond us all."Loki smirked at Ares's words. "Now why don't you stop stalling for time and tell me why you are here? You have no idea how to cast the illusion leash. It's dangerous for you to be here.""It isn't called leash anymore. Apparently, it's called magic now. Ge
