The nighttime air blew with a sort of elegance to it. Sitting in the woods, He waited for his prey. A Buck ran into view as he pulled back his bow string. Sitting there waiting and saying to himself 'Not Yet' he watched the Buck look up at him. Calculating the distance and wind interference, he started to sweat. The droplet flowed down his nose and hanged off the tip of his nose. Suddenly, he released his arrow to let it fly through the air. Before his sweat could even hit the floor, the Buck fell to the ground.
Lorcan: "Alright! I've been after this beauty for weeks."
He ran over and pulled out his arrow. He began to latch it so he could drag it when he received a text. It read 'Lorcan please, help! Someone's in the house!' He dropped the buck and started running towards the Illumination of his house's lights in the void of night. He saw through the shimmers of his lights, a large humanoid creature shrouded in darkness.
He grabbed at the door handle and pulled as hard as possible on it. When it couldn't budge, he ran to his window. He saw the large figure chasing a Girl.
Lorcan: "Emilia! EMILIA! Dammit!" He looked around before backing up. He began running towards his window and he jumped through it. The glass tore most of his hunting cloak off. He saw a terrifying sight, everything was wrecked, Emilia laid there lifeless, and the humanoid creature turned to reveal its skeletal looking face. Lorcan's eyes filled with rage and fear as he pulled his bow string back and released it as hard as he could. The string ripped at his fingers causing them to bleed. The arrow traveled like a bullet towards the figure but, it effortlessly grabbed the arrow out of the air.
Seeing this put dismay in his eyes. He slumped to the ground. He looked at the crimson red of the blood flowing off his fingertips.
Lorcan: "I don't want to die here." He spoke in a faint whisper and despite this someone managed to hear him.
Mysterious Man: "If you don't want to die, then why the hell give up? Are you stupid or something?" Lorcan looked up to see a man in about his thirties with brown hair and glowing with seeming purity.
Lorcan: "What the hell? Who are you?" The man became annoyed with Lorcan's question and gave a disgusted look.
Mysterious Man: "If I'm being honest, you don't deserve to know it. What you should know is that I can keep you from dying tonight"
just then one of those creatures swung down at the man. The man seemingly disappeared before the creature could connect with him. He moved so fast Lorcan's eyes couldn't keep up.
Mysterious Man: "Don't you dare touch me you bastard!"
He lifted his hand and suddenly the creature was thrown back against the wall.
Mysterious Man: "Now as I was saying, we can help each other. I give you strength to fend these things off and not die and you give me the ability to continue existing."
The man reached his hand out to Lorcan. His eyes dashed around the room, and he began to sweat. He hesitantly took the man's hand as more creatures advanced towards them. The man disappeared as Lorcan grabbed his hand and one of those creatures swung down onto Lorcan. He thought he had been duped by the guy until he raised his hand in defense and the creature was thrown through the wall.
Lorcan: "What the hell!? How did I do that!"
he heard a laugh in his head that sounded like the man from just earlier.
Lorcan: "What are you doing inside my head!"
The man gave an irritated voice and asked if he had already forgotten the terms.
Lorcan: "Okay then how did I do that?"
before the man answered Lorcan was attacked again. Lorcan fell to the ground but managed to create a barrier between him and the sword the creature is using.
Mysterious Man: 'Huh? Oh sorry, I almost fell asleep thanks to your boring questions boy. It's my Air Magic. We are soul binded, so my magic is now your magic. You're so stupid'
Lorcan kicked the creature off of him then stood back up.
Lorcan: "So, three of you, standing at that angle. All I'll need is a single arrow."
He pulled out his bow and readied an arrow.
Lorcan's Soul Binder: "Seriously are you stupid or something, they're too fast for that idiotic bow of yours. You'll never land a hi-"
before the man could finish Lorcan infused his arrow with air magic and released it. It ricochets off a wall and straight through the head of the first one, then hit another wall and went through the second, finally hitting the third in the head.
Lorcan's Soul Binder: "THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!"
The man was in shock. As Lorcan put his bow back up.
Lorcan: "I got to bury Emilia. After that I got to get out of here. It's not safe."
