Chapter 1: Door to the Hunter Life

Thrill of the Hunt


Chapter 1: Door to the Hunter Life


Jared - Age 16


The sunlight burned Jared's closed eyelids as his sleeping form lay sprawled across the blanket covered sandbags.

He winced as the intensity of the light grew, eventually making him groan as he woke.

"Erghnnn... Oh, my back... Really need to change these to an actual bed," Jared sighed as he adjusted the dark brown hair that had fallen in front of his eyes.

Jared stood up and looked around the tiny, dusty room he had come to call home. He had been renting this dirty hut for two years. At first, Jared hated it. Now, looking around the room today, it seemed different. He had become attached to it. He stifled a small smile before setting his mind to what day it was.

Jared sighed before saying, "Well, today's my first day as a hunter..."

The young man took the small wooden bucket from beside the chest and poured the water it held onto his head, letting it wet his hair and run down his toned body.

Jared proceeded to go to the chamber pot behind the thin shade that divided the room in half and did his business. We'll let you guess the rest.

After finally getting ready for the day hygeine wise, Jared put on his leather clothes. All of them being leather from the skin of Kelbi.

Jared sighed as the realization sunk in as to what today could hold in store. He stepped out into the harsh noon day sunlight on the dusty streets of Loc Loc.

His first steps as a hunter.
