It had been three days since the guild had come to the forest. They haven't done much but make camp and hunt small prey to eat.
I continued to watch from afar but still knew little to nothing about why they are here. I've heard talk about them being here to capture something that the capital wanted but besides that, nothing.
I have found out a little about them over time. The brown haired fellas name is archer, most of them just called him Arch, Archie or sometimes dumbass.
He is an expert in potions, poison, and one time I seen him shoot an animal with a bow, that was one time though. He was the more hyper of the group, though he's very skittish I learned that when I seen him jump at everything, harmless or not.
The wizard girl with a bob cut is called Faye, she works well in the green magic department. I have not seen her kill anything yet so that's a good sign, but then again most green magic users don't like to kill anything.
They are usually kind natured people, but then again, I could be wrong. I don't know much about this place or the people so I'm just going off of my video and manga knowledge.
The big guy I found out is called Darius, he's a axe and sword welder as well as a weapons blacksmith. I heard he had a shop in one of the towns around the capital. Darius is a happy go lucky guy but he's also strict, kind of like a big brother to archer and Faye.
It was kind of nice to see them all playing and messing with each other. I never had that with anyone, most of the people back in my old life just used me... a lot did.
The blond haired stone cold faced guys name is Auron. I was pretty shocked when I found out He's an apprentice knight for the kings royal guard. His teacher sent him out here as one of his last tasks before he could take the last test to become a full fledged knight.
When Archer started to talk about him becoming a knight Auron got pretty pissy. It almost broke out into a fight, thankfully Darius stopped The furious blond before he could chop off Archers head.
The last... terrifying one I didn't find much on, all I found out was their code name. It was Istin, I have no clue what it means but I don't think I want to know. As I watched Istin more and more I could tell they weren't someone to mess with.
Their strength, speed, and aura wasn't something to doubt. Right now I was laying on a branch about a half a mile from their camp. They were mostly just talking right now, though I did notice Auron sneaking away from the camp and into the dark forest.
I didn't pay much attention to him as I let out a yawn, I've been up here for around maybe five hours. Of course I got down to get a snack so I don't starve but besides that I've just been watching them.
I know most seeing me right now would think I was some stalker but I'm just trying to make sure they don't go near me or Diana's cave. It wouldn't end well for them or Diana if they found her.
As I sat there in the tree I could see the sun starting to go down from the sky. Id say it's around 3:00, I've got a few hours before I've got to head back.
Diana should be back with a poor dead animal before sun down. I sighed as my mind went back to the raw bloody flesh I had to eat the first time. It was disgusting... I pulled myself up into a sitting position and as I did I stretched my arms above my head leading to a pop sound to come from my sore back.
I felt another yawn start to come out making me open my mouth but as I went to I felt something strike me in my side. My face turned to that of pain as I cried out, it felt like a knife had just been drove into me.
I didn't get time to look down at what had struck me because The force knocked me off the tree making me plummet to the ground.
I clenched my teeth as I braced for impact, when my back hit the forest floor I felt tears start to well up in my eyes from the striking pain that flowed through out my body.
The air in my lungs was pushed out from the impact making me gasp for air. I felt my body tremble when I looked down to my side. My deep blue eyes widen when I seen a long arrow sticking out from my side.
It had light blue feathers at one end while the other end was pushed into my side. I lifted my shaking hand and grabbed the arrow, another pained cry escaped my mouth when I touched the arrow.
It was worse than breaking a bone... which I probably have many right now. I pulled my hand from it then clenched my hands into fists. My eye brows arched down as I tried to push myself up. I could feel my tears streaming down my face as I finally got to my feet.
I stumbled over to a large tree and placed my body weight upon it to keep me from falling. I lifted my head up and looked around frantically with my pain filled eyes. I seen nothing besides the dark forest, this only made me worry more. Who could it have been?!
As the worry showed on my face I felt my weight start to become to much making me slide down the tree. I groaned as I felt the arrow move slightly. I opened and closed my eyes a few times as my vision started to blur and my body temperature started to rise.
It felt like I was on fire, my mouth opened as I tried to call out for Diana... but I stopped myself. If I do that the person that shot me would probably hurt her, I can't have that.
I clenched my teeth as I leaned my head back on the tree. The pain was still there but wasn't as bad if I didn't move, but the blurry ness got worse. My head fell as I could see black dots start to fill my vision but in the distance I could see a blurry figure start to walk towards me.
I tried to lift my head but I didn't have enough energy too. Before the figure got more that ten feet to me my consciousness finally left my body.
Little did I know.
The figure in front of me moved closer and crouched down in front of me. The unknowns mouth turned up into a devilish smirk at my unconscious form.
"What have we got here..."
