The black hooded figure had three bear clawed like scars across their left brow down to their lips. It's left eye was resembling that of an eagle's, it was sharp and menacing.
[Wind Mode]
A bright and vibrant green aura appeared around the figure's body. The black hooded figure rushes into the hut without making a single sound. The figure hid beside the front entrance taking looks within the insides of the hut.
But who knew that the first thing he would see was a figure of a young man's face.

2 hours ago…
It always bugged him from time to time when keeps getting a slideshow of images of a shadowy figure. This time, it was a shadowy figure of a hooded man standing on top of a tree branch right outside Flores' hut. Roan then decided to deny the opportunity to sleep next to Flores. He needed to make sure that Flores was safe so he told her that he wanted to view the beautiful moon. But she kept whining that it was no big deal for two people to sleep next to each other until she collapsed due to exhaustion.
So then Roan grabbed a wooden chair and sat it just before the edge of the front entrance of the hut.

Present…
"Well this is awkward." The black hooded figure scratches their chin.
"What are you looking for?" Roan looks rather calm and composed, sitting cross legged and while sipping his tea like a gentleman.
"I'm looking for a lady that lives inside this hut." Black hooded figure grins unnaturally.
"I believe you got the wrong hut because the only person you can see now is myself." Continues to sip his tea again.
Both parties were wary of each other, especially Roan as he is inexperienced with this world and their power systems.
"Well if you don't move, then I will be forced to take action." As the black hooded figure begins to reveal a collection of dagger-like weapons attached to the sides of his chest strapped diagonally by a brown leather belt.
"I won't be moving anytime soon if you act that way."
Abruptly, a purple smoke shot from the back of Roan and towards the black hooded figure, they noticed beforehand and had teleported away towards the forest hidden.
"Are you okay Roan?" A sleepy and yet annoyed look was shown by Flores as she began approaching Roan from behind.
"I'm fine-" Roan stands up slowly from his seat and begins making his way out of the hut during the night.
Darkness clad the vision of Roan, he couldn't see anything around the trees nearby.
"Do you recognise a person with three claw marks across their left brow down to their chin?" He quickly asked Flores.
"I do not remember knowing someone with that mark on their face but, I do remember someone who uses Wind Style."
"Wind Style, sounds like a tricky opponent-" Roan said whilst rubbing his chin.
"It definitely won't be safe inside the hut against someone who can maneuver through the wind."
[Music Mode] Bright green aura enveloped the body of Roan.
[Curse Mode] Dark violet aura enveloped the body of Flores.
Suddenly, a dagger was shot forth with wind pressure towards Roan aiming his head.
He immediately sensed danger, he ducked down and looked back up again towards the location of where the dagger came from.
Nothing…
'This is bad, the black hooded person knows where we are but we don't know where they are', Roan thought.
"Tch..."
Flores began chanting her next move.
[Curse Style: Enemy Detection]
An opaque purple sphere like dome surrounded an area of 20 metres. It had grasped the location of the black hooded figure hiding behind a tree from a 15 meter distance up on a tree branch.
[Curse Style: An Unending Nightmare]
Then a purple aura formed on the tip of Flores' right finger was chasing after the detected figure like a homing missile.
—-
"This ability is annoying.' Black hooded figure thought.
The black hooded figure moved from one tree to another trying to escape the attack but it was to no use. 50 metres... 100 metres... but then when it hit 200 metres, the purple smoke disappeared.
They rubbed a sweat off their forehead and then planned to get back.

"Roan, can you buff me?"
"I sure can-"
[Music Style: Instrument Creation]
Roan focuses on creating an instrument in his mind, a long light yellow instrument was slowly forming on the palm of his hands, it formed little circular holes across the instrument and then lastly, a mouth tube.
[Music Style: String of Dreams]
"Which piece should I play? Oh-"
Roan started to blow into the mouth tube of the flute, his fingers grasping the holes quite elegantly.
Flores felt her overall abilities rise quite significantly, it felt great to be buffed after a very long time.
Out of nowhere, the black hooded figure appeared behind Roan as quick as the wind breeze.
The figure grabbed a dagger and tried stabbing Roan's heart at his back.
But then Roan was pushed to the side by Flores, she then did a sweeping right kick to break the enemy's centre of gravity.
[Wind style: Teleport]
The black hooded figure had now moved to a nearby tree branch looking down at the two, they were sweating more profusely compared to the other two.
'Dammit... I guess I have no choice', the black hooded figure thought.
"I PROMISE THAT YOU TWO WON'T MAKE IT OUT ALIVE!"
[Wind Style: Secret Technique - Aeilene Breath]
The black hooded figure then opened its mouth, green aura around their body transferring to a spherical orb appearing inside their mouth. It was charging and condensing using up lots of their mana reserves.
"Pft- pathetic, I will show you what a secret technique really is."
[Curse Style: Secret Technique - Bestow of Misfortune]
Flores' eyes were now painted black, it swirled and started to coagulate the purple aura there forming spirals like a galaxy, after she stared directly into the black hooded figure's soul.
"Is that all you have, WOMAN?!"
*Boom*
Then came a burst of condensed razor-sharp wind expanding 100 metres in length 20 metres in width.
There was a massive green pillar shot towards the sky like a beacon. It caused nearby animals to flee uncontrollably, shaking the entire forest as if there was an Earthquake.
The black hooded figure was gasping for air, huffing and puffing while perspiration ran across their body immensely. It took a massive toll on his body and his mana reserves.
But before the black hooded figure could catch a break. A purple smoke was chasing him down.
'Crap-' They bit their lips and knew they couldn't get away from it.
"Please spare me, the Witch of..."
The purple smoke then seeped into the skin of the black hooded figure. His eyes rolled, mouth wide open with foam leaking out and then, they fell.
