Aiha!!
A gust of wind swept across the surface of the 17 year old boy; Heron.
" hmph. you are really improving" said Heron before lashing out a kick towards the young Jason. Caught unawares, Jason immediately drew out his daggers, and parried Heron's kick, causing blood to spill out from Heron's leg.
"Argh" Heron cried out, he quickly stabilised himself and rushed forward for another attack, drawing out his sword, a clean slash was made on Jason's chest.
He was thrown back, and hit his head hard on the brick wall as a result of the force of the slash made. Fresh blood spurted out, and he felt himself going dizzy, till he was all out.
.... "Wake up Jason". This was the voice of Heron, slowly sitting up, he asked; how long have I been out? "
"Seriously??" asked Jason, "you didn't even Last one round with me before dozing off."
"dozing off?" Jason thought " what was his brother thinking, wasn't it he who made a cut on his chest?"
"Are you still going to doze off? " Heron asked, seeing him quiet.
Not minding him, Jason asked" where are the others?" he didn't really see them everyday.
" They went out for scouts meeting, and because of you, I didn't attend" Heron said. Jason stood up, put on a worn out piece of armor, and with a bright face, he turned to his brother.
" Let me make it up to you, Let's go hunt" he said. "What !, do you even know what hunting is? " Heron asked out of pure surprise
" No" replied Jason," you'll teach me" he continued. " Wouldn't it be interesting? " he added with a suspicious smile on his face.
" Hmmm.." Heron pretended to give it some thought, "Alright, but we should be back early" he said. He walked to a wardrobe, and also drew out a bronze armor, putting it on he felt secure.
" Let's go" he said.
At early dusk,they arrived at the forest, covered with thick trees,it was enough to scare the cool out of anybody.
They had their license to hunt, that's why they easily got access.
Not wasting anymore, time the first thing they did was to check for hunts. the first hunt they saw was a Hydroceron.
It resided mainly in the waters as it is stronger there.
"Let me take care of this one" Heron requested, with a go ahead,he drew out a spear, and thrust it forward towards the Hydroceron.
ROAR!!!
It seemed the spear touched a vital spot,but where was it supposed to touch anyway. Not giving it any chance to escape,he leaped up and landed steadily on it's back and again thrust his spear into it's back.
One thing about these things was the fact that they had high resistance, even after the second thrust,it still didn't die.
" Damn" Heron cursed,he saw another Hydroceron swinging it's tail towards him. With no time to dodge,he crossed his hands to reduce the impact,but nothing happened.
" So weak" Jason said,he had a tail in his hand,on the other side,the Hydroceron was writhing in pain as a result of a tail
out. With another Swift motion, he thrusted his sword into the abdomen of the Hydroceron, but was blocked by another.
Seems like this was a bad day, they had fallen into the encirclement of a Horde of Hydrocerons.
" We have to escape their encirclement now " cried Heron, they made their way towards dry land on the backs of Hydrocerons, but not for long, a larger Hydroceron this time was waiting for them.
Heron was immediately swung away by a Hydroceron to dry land, leaving Jason alone to face 3 Hydrocerons, and One damn larger mother...
