chapter 4

"2920" Kris scratched on his elbow plate with his knife.

"What is it " asked the farmer.

"I can see you are a hunter, is it the number of beasts that you have killed?"

"Shut up and do your work old man" growled Kris.

His situation is quite difficult for other people to understand, it's not any head count nor it dosen't represent his glory but a past that he want to forget.

Yes a past that's been haunting him for the past 8 yrs .

" Young man are you a hunter?" asked the farmer,

"Yeah" Kris always hated the people who can

Tell what he is, just by looking at him

"So what?" Kris asked in a threatening tone.

"Young master , by your appearance I can tell you are good hunter, I have a request on behalf of our village" said the farmer.

Kris can expect what the request is " you want me to kill something" said Kris, disgusted.

"Please listen to our request master, we don't know what it is, but it looks like it's killing for fun "

"Fun" kris thought

"Yes master, its not eating our cattle but it's ripping them off and leaving corpses behind, it even destroyed our crops.."

"Did it attacked any human?" Asked Kris.

"No master" answered farmer.

It dosen't looked like a beast attacking some village, but the beast is targeting the food of villagers , its a well known war tactic out of the book.

" There is nothing I can do in this aspect I think you have to get help from your king " Kris got up and was walking towards his horse

"Master , our king abandoned us, but my village cheif is going to send a group of warriors from our village to counter this beast, "

The farmer took a deep breath , "my son is part of the team, but something inside me is telling that they won't make it alive"

"They won't make it alive, the enemy got what he wanted.

.FEAR "

thought Kris.

" Even then I can't do anything about it old man" said Kris and mounted his horse and kicked it .

Horse started moving slowly.

" Master my son is only 15 yrs old" farmer shouted

Kris all of a sudden stopped and got down from his horse and ran towards the farmer. He took his blade and kept it to the old man's throat.

" Don't you love your son, why did you let him accept such a thing" Kris was angry.

but he can see the farmer is crying .

"Not only my son, but noone in the team is more than 16 yrs " cried farmer.

Kris took his blade back

" Let's go , I want to talk to your cheif"

" Thank you, so much master".

Kris reluctantly mounted his horse, he knows whats awaiting , something more than a beast, a monster???

the farmer didn't had a horse, it looked like he can't afford it.

"old man how far is your village, " asked Kris,

"it's just on the other side of the mountain, master " answered farmer.

Kris got down from his horse

"tell me old man why the kids , who dosen't even know how to handle a sword are sent as the hunt party"

"because that's the best gamble we have" said farmer.

" what ? "

Kris became silent for a moment.

" what about the soilders in your village or atleast the young people"

" master I don't know wether you are making fun of our fate or you truly don't know, but it's a nightmare we wish that it never happened"

"nightmare! what the hell happened in the eight years ?" thought Kris.
