Ankle Snare

It's not everyday that you see a huntress in the field of Prontera punching and snaring a few rockers. This is beyond everyone's comprehension. For one, the monsters are absolutely way down below her level, and 2 , Hunters are well known for their love of hunting alone, looking for treasures they could sell at a good price, thus their name. They are typical loners. Just their wargs or falcon to accompany their solitary journey of finding scattered treasures in Rune Midgard.

It was a wonder for Cam to watch the pretty little lithe Huntress just outside the city of Prontera. He watched in interest as she deftly punched rocker after rocker and snared them in a waiting trap ahead. He was curious, extremely so. So he sat down near a shaded tree.

Cam is a distinguished priest in a well known guild who just roamed the roads around Prontera. He was bored. Extremely bored with the lifestyle he has . He was no longer motivated to join boss hunts with his guild mates thinking that it's just an endless cycle of procuring wealth he already have. He is tired with the endless violence and for what? For more loot you can have? And hhat for? He is always needed by his team though so he never really left them. And he couldn't. They were the only ones giving him enough reason not to lie down and be a vegetable for a while. He was a priest and a skilled one at that. So with his boredom and if he's not MVPing with them, he usually wanders on his own on roads less traveled. He is on his way to Sograt desert looking for a new way to assuage his boredom when he saw her.

She didn't notice him.

Good. All the more for him to observe her and find out what she's doing. He watched with his careful brown eyes at the scene in front of him. There are around 20 rockers now snared. Their violins flailing in attempt to scratch her. He was still confused. What is she waiting for?

Then there was a loud whistle from her lips. And all of a sudden 15 novices came out hiding from the trees and started clubbing, attacking , piercing the snared rockers. Cam was extremely surprised.

He was clearly fascinated. He took a good look at what's happening before him. Each novice is attacking a poor rocker. One by one, rocker after rocker, sweat after sweat the rockers were all terminated. The novices were extremely ecstatic, some of them obviously just leveled up. One novice – a swordie in the making – kept looking at the Huntress with pure admiration. Some girl novices ran to her arms and gave her a hug. Some just gave her a high five and she in turn gave them a big toothy smile and a thumbs up. This brought a smile to Cam's lips and he was surprised. He rarely smile these days.

"I no longer have any traps with me guys. So what I'm going to do is attack them first and let them hit me. Then you attack them as much as you can. Agreed?" The Huntress then proceeded to punch and lure a lot of rockers in the field. And just like before, the novices who were hiding, appeared and started to attack.

Cam noticed that she is easily hurt and she's susceptible to the attacks. Is her agility so low? Just a few rockers and clearly she's hurt. He was about to help them, just a level 1 heal would probably be enough, a couple of buffs. But the look in her face. She was clearly happy. She didn't sit down, stance in ready in case a rocker might decide to attack the novices which does not really happen. Even with the bruises and cuts, she was smiling and was encouraging them. What's with her? He was more confused than ever.

She is clearly not that well off. Just a battered Apple o Archer – probably just a loot, not even enhanced, a cross bow , and holy smokes her garments are just the ones you could buy at an NPC and are not even slotted. She's absolutely dirt poor. What is she doing? She could just go on and do well on her own. She clearly is skilled. Or if she's worried she'd have to start over again and again because of her low agility, he's pretty sure a lot of priests would go with her. Or not.

Priests nowadays are unhelpful lot. Cam knew that. They'd scam and always ask something in return for the services they could just give for free. He felt a great guilt but there's no need to think of the past now. What can he do? His thoughts were interrupted by a sudden call from nowhere..

"Cam teleport now to the field near the pyramids. Xodus wants to have a try with Osiris again." Cam sighed. Duty calls again. Errah was never been the gracious one. Who could blame her? She was just a lowly mage before with people always targeting and mocking her, but look at her now. What was once a lovely humble mage became a hardened and wizened wizard. From rags to riches. And she's practically the right hand of their guild master who is an assassin.

"Just give me a minute" He said before Errah could end the conversation and puff at him when he's late. He was reluctant to leave, but thinking about Xodus, he believes he has no choice. A minute is enough for him to at least give something to the Huntress. A helping hand to her cause. He's not really into giving free buffs, but what the heck, he was entertained by this poor beauty. Truth be told, he was all the more confused with her passion to help the needy when it turn she needs help more. He was basically ensnared with her passion to help people. What he should be.

He slowly approached their spot, and yet the huntress noticed him from far away . Owl's eye huh. He buffed and healed the novices one by one. He gave a smile and she gave him a small one in return. She then quickly put her attention back to the novices, always ready in case somebody got hurt,

And when he was about to heal her, a loud piercing scream was heard. One of the girls – a mage or acolyte - to - be judging by her slowness – was attacked by a mob of... hornets.

Fast as lightning the huntress blitzed the mob and out came the Mistress.
