After two days,they arrived to the island, Harry descended from the ship first, assisting his wife, while John took care of unloading their luggage.
"We will go the village first" Harry said.
"No there is no need,"jhon said.
"We need a break,and you too"
"Every moment is important, they can take them off the island at any time. Then I won't be able to do anything, That's why we must make the most of every available moment. And with you, I don't need to be introduced in the village."
"What we have to do first"
"Take your wife to the village let her take a break with the baby, and Try to find out the latest news about the matter, come back here quickly. I'll have a little wine and rest while you return."
"Okay"
"Don't be late"
"Don't worry, I will do anything to bring back my daughter."
John walked towards a tree, lay down, and the wine bottle beside him.
"Do you think he will save your daughter?"the wife asked Harry "He only wants the gold and won't care about you or your daughter. He's just using you."
"I initially thought the same, but now I'm confident he will save her. I believe his hatred for slave traders is greater than his love for gold."
"What if the slave traders offer him a lot of gold to forget the matter and leave the island?"
"He will never agree; he is seeking revenge."
" I'm just afraid for you."
"Yeah,but I have to do anything to help him,for save my daughter and the girls"
"Just be careful "the wife said "He had completely forgotten about her, but this incident brought her back into our lives. How should I deal with the situation now if she's back?"she said in her mind
John lies on his back, gazing at the sky. All that made him remember his wife (Karen),He straightened in his sitting position to begin drinking the wine, perhaps hoping it would make him forget all these memories. The wine wasn't enough to numb the bitterness of these memories.
He rose from his place and began to stare at the wine bottle."that doesn't help " He threw the bottle away. "Only my wife or the blood of those who had taken her from me will make me rest" He said in him self.
He unsheathed his sword and began to sharpen it,The blade was black, and there was a dark red gem in the hilt.."I know you thirst for blood, but I am even more thirsty than you." He said loudly, addressing the sword.
"Who are you talking to?" Harry asked Jhon.
"When did you come" jhon said,He didn't feel it when he came, and there was no sign of astonishment on his face.
"Just now " Harry said "Don't tell me you were talking to your sword "
"I trust my sword more than I trust anyone."jhon said "do you have any news?"
"Nothing special "Harry said with frustration.
"Tell me who the strange people on this island are. Other than the villagers"jhon asked.
"There were many monster hunters living here, but about a year ago, some of them died, and most left the island. Only one person remains, known as the one with silver hair." Harry told him.
"I heard a lot about him I think it's the time to meet him face to face" jhon said with a dark smile.
" do you want him to help you?" Harry asked "I think he's in our ranks."
"I don't blame you for your stupidity. Everyone here are our enemies " Jhon said.
"What is the purpose of us going to him?"
""It is likely that he works with slave traders."
"My mom always said that we shouldn't judge people before getting to know them."
"It's true, not everything your mom says is always accurate. However, avoiding premature judgments has helped me steer clear of many risks in the past."
"But I heard that he is so strong "
"I've heard that too, but it doesn't pose a barrier for me."
"Either you're skilled and know what you're doing, or you're just arrogant and overly confident in yourself."
"You'll find out about this soon." Jhon said "now where can we find that silver hair?do you know where he is?"
"He lives in the forest"
"Does he live alone?"jhon asked.
"Yeah"
"Take me to him "
"I will, but remember that violence is a last resort."Harry stopped in his place .
"I am the one who makes these decisions, not you."
"Understood "
"I will keep you safe,don't worry "
" I don't care about my self,just safe my daughter "
"In which direction is the forest?"
"To the west."
It took them an hour to reach the forest, known as the Monster Woods. Afterwards, they walked for another hour to reach the place where the owner of the silver hair is located. The fog was thick to the point of making visibility difficult. In front of them was a lake, and in its midst stood an apparently abandoned cottage.
"Does he live here"Jhon pointed his finger towards the cottage.
"Yes"
"How did he manage to build it in the middle of the lake?"
"I really don't know,This place was filled with monsters before his arrival."
All the plants and trees near the lake were dead, and there were no animals in the area. And this makes the place even more eerie for John.
"I think I have a guests " A voice echoed from the depths of the fog.
John felt something suspicious about this Hunter, so he decided to approach him because he thought he knew something. Is John just going to talk to him, or does he intend something else? Have they ever known each other in the past?
