Chapter 3 - Chapter 3-Shadow Hunter

Evangeline: Wait, before we go to the den, i want to go somewhere first.

Fate: Hmm? Where?

Evangeline: To meet the "Shadow Hunter"

Fate: Ho? May i ask who this so called "Shadow Hunter" might be, and where can we find him?

Evangeline: we can find him in the kingdom. Like you, he uses swords, but due to the anti sword law he had to hide in the shadows. He will be a great asset in battle.

Fate: Thats good, we need every help we can get.

Evangeline: thank you, oh yeah i forgot to mention this but can you hide your swords?

Fate: that wont be a problem, i have my space bag.

Evangeline: yeah i know that, but please dont reveal it on public. The moment you take out your sword the assasination squad will come after us.

Fate: assasination squad?

Evangeline: yes, they are the chosen few that were handpicked by the king to kill all swordsmen.

Fate: ill put that into mind.

Evangeline: well then lets go

After traveling for 2 days, they have arrived at Regnum Magicae

Fate: so this is Regnum Magicae?

Evangeline: yes....

Fate: why do you look troubled?

Evangeline: oh, its nothing sorry about that. Lets enter shall we?

Fate: lets go

Gate Guard: Halt! We need to check your items.

Fate: oh sure.

Gate Guard: hmmm... nothing suspicious, you may head inside sir.

Then the guard notices fates pouch.

Gate Guard: Sir! Can we see whats inside that little bag?

Evangeline: (Silence)

Fate: its just some coins.

Gate Guard: we need to make sure, you dont have any illegal items

Fate: *shows him the bag*

Gate guard: *checks the bag* ok you are clear sir.

Fate & Evangeline: *sigh of relief*

*And so they head for the Guild.*

(A Guild is where adventurers find quests or jobs to earn money.)

Evangeline: Why didnt the guard find about your sword? Was it some kind of magic?

Fate: No, when the guard noticed my bag, i switched it with another one.

Evangeline: But i didnt see you switch them.

Fate: *a hair pin pops up in Fate's hand*

Evangeline: Wait isnt that mine?

Fate: Its not some kind of magic, its just that im naturaly fast.

Evangeline: *speechless*

Fate: Shall we go inside?

Evangeline: .....

Fate: Hey you there?

Evangeline: oh sorry, lets go.

(5 minutes later)

Evangeline: Where is the guild master?

A random adventurer: He is inside his office.

Evangeline: Thank You

/They head to the Guild Master's Office/

Evangeline: Jerald! Are you in there!

Fate: Jerald? Who is he?

Evangeline: The guild master

Guild Master: Eva, is that you?

Evangeline: Yep its me, i never thought i would see you again HAHAHA!

Jerald: So did I HAHAHA!

Fate: Are you guys friends?

Jerald: Who might this young lad be?

Evangeline: Fate this is Jerald, the Guild Master and my Beloved Brother

Fate: Pleased to meet you

Evangeline: Jerald, this is Fate, he is the one that will help me rescue my friends and also somewhat my student

Jerald: Oh, so this is the one.. nice to meet you Fate, please take care of my sister.

Fate: Ofcourse, its my pleasure

Evangeline: Lets get down to bussiness shall we...

Jerald: Hmm, what do you need from me?

Evangeline: Where is the Shadow Hunter?

is he available?

Jerald: Oh, him... he is at the guild basement sharpening his blades

Evangeline: Can we hire him at the moment?

Jerald: Ofcourse, but you know the rules, you have to beat him in a test of speed.

Evangeline: You dont have to worry, i have Fate here who is as fast as lightning,

Jerald: Ok lets go /opens a secret door/

Evangeline: Fate, stay where you are

Fate: Ok?

/A flying knife goes over Fates Head/

Shadow Hunter: You are fast, but can you dodge this? /a barrage of knives go on Fate's way/

Fate: Too slow */Catches all of then/* here you can have them back */throws everything back to the shadow hunter/*

Shadow Hunter gets hit on both his arms and legs

Fate: Dont worry i didnt hit any vital spots

Shadow Hunter: I admit defeat

Jerald: Woah, even the elves cannot match your speed. That was amazing

Fate: Thanks (wait elves? there are elves here? i would like to meet one soon)

Evangeline: Shadow Hunter dont move, im going to perform healing magic on you.

Shadow Hunter: I thank you

Evangeline: Done, now will you acompany us to the goblins den? we need every help we can get.

Shadow Hunter: Ofcourse, i would be glad to be on the same team as this strong man. But may i ask you something?

Fate: Sure ask anything

Shadow Hunter: Are you a swordsman?

Fate: How did you know?

Shadow Hunter: I just observed how you moved, you are just like me but on a higher level

Fate: Impressive, welcome to the team Shadow Hunter

Shadow Hunter: Just call me Kuro

Fate: Its nice to work with you Kuro

Kuro: Its my pleasure

Evangeline: now that we have him with us, shall we go?

Fate: Wait, Jerald mentioned earlier that there were elves? where can we find one?

Kuro: My Bestfriend is an elf, her name is Ayra she's a talented archer.

Fate: Where can we find her?

Kuro: She lives in the deepest part of the Elven Forest

Evangeline: An elf Huh? I guess she will be usefull on fighting goblins....

Fate: Lets Go! to the Elven Forest

Evangeline: Well someone is excited

Kuro: I will lead the way, Just follow me
