Chapter 5 - The Hunt begins

The sun rises from the mountains, for it was going to be a quiet day, or at least that what should have been. A man screams in the well, for it was Jake screaming begging for help.

"Help! Someone Help!" He shouted

"Haha, calm down it's all gonna be find." Man said

"No it's not find Hank. You got us down here because of your ass decided to get drunk." He said.

Hank, a thirty year old man, was drunk as he has a wine bottle in his hands, and his clothes are in a complete mess, with his shirt rip and his pants almost rip for almost seeing his boxer underneath, and his boots are dirty as hell. 

A female voice echoes through the well. 

"Jake, is that you? She said.

"Abigail. Help us Abigail." He said

Abigail, a young woman, with her hair nice and tucked behind away into a pony tail, with her outfit sparkles with glitter as she is the royal king model and the wife of Hank.

"Hank, did you get drunk again?" She said

"W-what? No of course not, I was just hanging out with the boys last night." He said.

She sigh loudly that she scratch her back head to figure out what to do? Then Kyra appear wondering what was going on?

"Abigail. Did Hank get drunk again?" She said

"Yep." She said.

"Why did even marry him?" She said.

"Because of his looks." She said

They look down at Hank, that he smile with the crooked smile ever that he drool. Kyra looks at Abigail with a really face.

"OK, I don't know why I marry him. He does got a cute ass though." She said. 

Kyra grab a bucket that was attach to the well, she low it down to the boys.

"Alright, send the drunk up first." She said.

As they bring Hank up, and they are pulling with their strength And at that point Hank started to dance like a crazy person, that cause them to loose ballance and the thing that kept the bucket up. It snapt and send Hank and the girls fell into the hole. 

"Well, we're out now." He said. 

Shut the fuck up, Hank!" They shouted. 

As they are both stuck in the well, they try to use the rope to hopefully something catches it, as they try numerous attempts, they got lucky as Cane grab the rope and look down in the well, with a smile. 

"So how did you get stuck down there again Jake. You know you can't stay up late up, right?" He said.

Jake mutters in anger for it was Hank's fault that he got stuck in the well to begin with. Cane pulls them up, and slap Jake in the face again.

"Would you stop doing that?" He said. 

He slap him again, and grunt at him.

"Thank you, Cane for helping me and my husband help. I really appreciate that." She said.

"Any time, Abigail." He said.

"Yeah, I think I was the one who got us out." He said.

"Come on, Hank. Let's go home. So I can give you message." She said.

"Oh, this is gonna be fun." He said. 

A big crack of Iron, that was loud that it startled the birds outside. As Blake look at a old cape that goes over the clothes. 

"Pretty, nifty huh? I got that for sixteen-thousand dollars on a sale from the Capitol, during the wars." He said.

"Yeah, it looks pretty old Jason." He said.

Jason, a middle age man who owns a blacksmith that is the only blacksmith shop in the kingdom.

"Alright kiddo. Here's the sword that Cane have requested for you." He said. 

"Thanks, and uh. How much for the cape?" He said.

The others waited next to the gate, as they see Blake coming in the cape he got from Jason. Cane smile, and patted him on the back.

"Are you kidding me, we're bringing this with us hunting." He said.

"Deal with it, Jake. Or i'll have to execute you here and now." He said. 

Jake glare at Blake, as he was confused and walk away.

"Who are these people?" He said. 

"These are also guards, who were small time bandits, now they work as guards now for the same price. Now you two will be kind with him, he lost his memory and is not a guard. So stay next to him, do not let him out of your sight. Copy?" He said.

They nod, and Cane looks up and nod his head to open the gate as they walk into the forest.

Hour past, as they walk in an almost dead forest, as they hear small branch cracks In the distance and they stay alert. A very near crack, that drew the attention of Cane as he pulled his sword out, and looked for anything suspension. As the one who made the crack was the very same guy, who brought Blake into the world with that staff, he breathe carefully, as he try not to make any sound. Cane took a deep breathe, and put his sword away, as the man watch carefully and follow them very calmly and trying not to get any more attention from Cane. 

As they walk, they notice a strange ruin wall that has some kind of a strange ancient writing. 

"What does this, Cane?" He said.

"I don't know, Ray. It looks very ancient." He said.

Blake look at the writing and see a leaf that is that look strangely familiar. And he remember that is the exact same leaf that he saw in a vision he had last night. As Jake poke him, to get his attention, Cane and the others guard look and they see a Grimmer.

Grimmers are black monster that appear over 1,0000 years ago.

They slowly back away, as they didn't want to alert it. Then, Jake step on a stick that it crack, it look over to them and it attack. They drew their sword out, and Blake stand there, for he's in fear as didn't know what to do, but he got the courage to fight it and he decapitated it head, and made a loud screech. And that screech summon more of the Grimmers.

"We need to go, now." He said.

"Fall back team. Fall back, they as fast as they can. But the Grimmers are faster then they are, Blake pull his sword and attack them head. 

"Blake no!" He shouted.

Blake scream, and he get pick up by a Grimmer bird. He struggle to fight, but he fell, and everything went to black. 

A few hours he woke up in a cave, he didn't know where he was. What was standing in front of him, was a big creature with horns and red mouth coming out from it mouth. He breathed in fear.
