The following day the duo were talking at a fire with meat roasting on a spit. Gale it turns out was a lot more cheerful than he looked and had also lost his entire family not to strangers but rather to the silver eagles he had so tirelessly killed for. "Why didn't you run away" Okuagu asked as he munched on the leg of one of the deer. "I needed to get strong for my revenge or rather that was what I thought as I later found out the whole revenge plot was getting me nowhere' Gale replied with a sigh as he laid back on a rock. "So you've forgiven them? "Nope if I get the opportunity I'll gut all the top assassins to the last one" Gale replied.
While they were talking a pack of wolves approached slowly surrounding them. The wolves were slowly stalking them or so they thought for they had no idea that the supposed 'prey' were actually the hunters and they the wolves had fallen into their trap. The wolves eventually made themselves known cutting all routes of escape but seemed hesitant to attack. "Why are they stalling" Gale asked as he loaded an arrow. "They are sensing the aura of a more powerful beast" Okuagu replied with a low growl. "I don't have time for this" Gale said as two wolves fell dead, arrows in their skulls. The other wolves attacked but most fell to Okuagu's spear and gales arrows with only four escaping tails in between their legs. "Told you the trap would work" Okuagu said with a laugh. "Yeah but if you don't reduce your appetite we will run out of meat for bait" Gale added as he retrieved his arrows from the wolves' carcasses. ''That brings the head count to twelve; six for you and six for me" Okuagu said with a grin exposing his sharp canines. After much walking they arrived at a part of the forest full of headless beasts that had been hacked into pieces by what seemed to be an axe. "Must be the blue eyed blonde" Gale said as he shuddered about the thought of meeting such a monster in the forest. Okuagu didn't say anything for he could sense the heat signature of a rather massive aerial creature heading for them. "Watch out! He shouted seconds before a large golden falcon crashed talons outstretched into some trees."It's an 'A' rank shouted Okuagu drawing his spear from his back. "You must be crazy" Gale retorted with a grin forming on his face as he loaded his bow with arrows....
Gale jumped into the air shooting some arrows at the giant falcon. The falcon flew at lightning speed dodging even the sonic arrows. Okuagu couldn't even rely on the bird's signature for the bird was flying at supersonic speeds.
Gathering heat into his legs Okuagu jumped into the air just in time to dodge an incoming swoop. "Keep it busy while I attack its wings" Gale shouted as gusts of winds began to gather from all directions. "Fat chance human" the Falcon said as it flew up shooting some lightning bolts downwards at them.Okuagu growled and threw his spear at the bird. The falcon dodged the incoming spear which then embedded into a tree. "Now! Shouted Okuagu as large explosive bursts of flames shot out from the spear which ignited the entire place and trees where the Falcon was and thus sent it crashing into the floor. Gale seized his chance and shot four arrows which struck the bird in its wing.The Falcon screeched in pain sending more lightning bolts to the surrounding areas. Gale quickly ran forward seemingly running on air as he shot more arrows at the giant bird. Gale however noticed something was amiss for the bird's color changed from golden to dazzling white with sparks running all over its body. "Retreat! Gale shouted dodging some lightning bolts. Okuagu picked up his spear as they both ran but stopped in their tracks when a white silhouette flew past them. Okuagu stood in a defensive stance and yelled as numerous talon marks appeared on his body with blood dripping all over his body. Gale seemed to be in a far worse state with countless pieces of flesh and a huge hole in his shoulder. "My chicks will eat well" the falcon said panting with its beak open and blood dripping from its right wing as it prepared for a final dive to end it. Okuagu held his spear in a throwing position and gave a knowing look at Gale who simply nodded in understandingSoon enough the sky looked like it was experiencing a thunder storm as a massive bolt of lightning came crashing down. Okuagu covered the spear in flame and hurled it with all his might. Gale's eye turned silver he wrapped the spear with massive gusts of wind propelling it upward and making it look like a burning comet. The whole area was then surrounded by a bright light which was seen by all the hunters including the tall blue eyed berserker. Princess Diamond stared in awe at the sight she had just witnessed: a lightning bolt and a streak of flame meeting each other in the sky. "Now I just sound poetic" she reasoned as she beheaded the last of the wolves surrounding her. Soon enough night approached with the lightning bolt collapsing to the ground.
