To Mithhar - Forest Of Mithhar Arc

*Authors Note* hello readers I am sorry to say that due to life getting more busy that The Hunters Duality is going from chapters two times a week to now a chapter once a week every Sunday. Anyway I hope you all enjoy the chapter and the ones to come.

It had been a week since Honō’s battle with Osore when he was able to move around fully with minimal pain coming from his ribs. The day they planned to set of to forest on they met Xander, who was going with them, outside of Selene’s cabin ready with a bag of supplies.

“How much supplies you got” Honō asked as he attempted to walk out of cabin by himself with Selene, Witz and Ash following behind him each with their own bag and Ash carrying Honō’s in addition to his own.

“I have a tent, some food, my phone, my gun with some bullets for if we encounter anything and some medicine then for you Honō and anyone else who gets injured on way through the forest” answered Xander listing off everything contained in the bag he was carrying.

“Not so bad, not so bad so you’re good to go then?” Questioned Honō as he took his bag from Ash who had been holding it from him and put it on his own back.

“Yeah, just lead the way” spoke Xander playfully as he bowed stretching his arm out towards the forest to signify for them to go first.

“How kind of you” lampooned Honō as they began to walk towards the forest.

The entrance of the forest was like any other forest, yet it gave off a mystical sense mystery around it.

As they continued through the forest, the trees they saw began to look bigger and greener then the last. When sun began to set on the first day of the journey through the short stretch of forest, they saw a group of beautiful horses.

Horse though beautiful were very strong even at lower ranks and very easy to spook which would cause them to attack. Due to this fact the moved further then they had originally planned before setting up camp for the night.

Their camp was made up of one small tent and two large tents one which both Selene and Witz shared and another that Ash and Honō shared though only one would of the two men would sleep as they had agreed that when one sleeps the other would go on watch. The small tent was brought and used by Xander.

The next morning Ash who had the last watch went back to the tent and had a nap after everyone else woke up.

“Weird other than the horses from yesterday there hasn’t been many aether beasts” stated Witz finding it peculiar seeing as they were in the midst of a beast crisis, while making some breakfast.

“It won’t be until we go further in that we’ll find more beasts. You see only things like the bears and horses or possibly some wolfs so nothing major plus other than the horses most of them have been pushed from the edge of the forest hence causing the beast attacks” spoke Xander replying to Witz statement as he tided up his tent and put it in his bag.

After some more talking amongst themselves for another hour they began to continue their journey towards Mithhar through the forest. Two hours after continuing the travel in the forest the came across a pack of wolfs to which they dealt with quickly while Xander watched from the sidelines.

After dealing with the beasts, they continued till dusk when they set up camp again. The next morning while they were all getting breakfast the began to hear a girls scream in the distance causing them all to start running towards it.

When they arrived at the scene, they saw a group of three people being attacked.
