The hunter coughed, his voice hoarse but steady. "I won't die; at least, not yet."
William crouched down beside him, his expression calm but focused. "Good. Hold on just a little longer."
Without another word, William pulled out his 'invisibility cloak', draping it over himself. In an instant, he vanished from sight.
The hunter's sharp eyes flickered with understanding. He nodded subtly, murmuring instructions under his breath. Though exhausted and gravely injured, he reached into his pouch and pulled out a handful of 'deodorizing powder', scattering it around to mask William's scent. Then, with painstaking effort, he dragged himself across the rocky ground, smearing his blood and deliberately obscuring any signs of William's presence.
