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

"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
Hunters: The Prequel The Eternal Monarch
"They call me the Eternal Monarch now" A fair, pretty lady was seated on a completely black throne. The hall was pitch black, with no other person in sight. Any spectator would have made the logical assumption that she was speaking to herself. After all, in this dark hall, it was impossible to see that the throne she was seated so comfortably on was glowing. Added to the fact that the throne's colour complemented that of the hall's, such a minor detail was easy to miss.The lady giggled as the throne glowed. As for what was so funny, it was between her and the object that was supposed to be inanimate, yet seemed to possess is own soul. "No Reiki. Nothing really lasts forever" the lady's chuckles ended with this statement. A sad look took its place and cast more gloom in this already gloomy room. Reiki was apparently the name of the throne she sat upon- the Eternal Throne."Yes Reiki. I do miss them. They were my parents after all" the lady o
Hunters: The Prequel The Prophecy Part I
A lone man, and an empty field. He was calm, his eyes closed as he enjoyed the serenity and peace. He took a deep breath and exhaled audibly, his breath weirdly visible on this bright and sunny day. He opened his eyes, revealing beautiful pupils- pupils that were darker than the abyss itself. He was a beautiful man, and even though he held a zweihander, this beauty wasn't hidden, only elaborated. The girl- no, woman- seated on the eternal throne gazed at the familiar figure with longing. They looked so much alike. A third person would have sworn that they were twins if not for the difference in hair colour- her black against his brown. The man was just that pretty, and the cloak that covered his physique did nothing to help his case.He readied himself as he took a fighting stance and held his zweihander in a sword draw position."Glow- Nature's cross" he mouthed. For an instant it almost seemed as if nothing had happened- and then it did. T
