Chapter 7 The scent of you

The scent washed into Finn's nostrils so suddenly he almost forgot he was floating in mid-air. His magic almost ceased right then and there. Re-gaining himself he settled back on the floor. He took another sniff of that digusting odour, there was a Hunter on the planet and judging from the strength of it, they were close. Finn had been on Earth for a while and he had gotten used to the idea that he was the only being with real magic, now he wasn't alone. Finn took another deep inhale, almost choking on the stale air, through that disgusting aroma he smelt the difference, the soft scent of Jasmine. He couldn't help but get excited, if he was right it meant one thing, Raven was on the planet. Finn had been alive almost as long as she had but even after all this time he knew that the Hunter wouldn't be pleased to see him, the Warrior. Long ago their clans had been dead set against each other, just like Angels and Demons were set to hate each other, so were Warriors and Hunters. Hunter's followed a certain code of honour, Warriors worked for themselves and no one else. Hunter's only killed if they had too, Warriors just liked to cause destruction. Finn kept trying to get a peek of her but so far her body hadn't caught up to her scent. He remembered the last time he saw her, it would've been centuries ago, Raven and her partner at the time, Rune were heading to Meese to cure the great sickness that had broken out. A few miles before they hit the town, they ran into Finn or as he was known Prince Devitt. In nothing but cold blood he killed Rune right in front of her, it was the only time he had ever seen the great Hunter collapse in dispair because she didn't know what else to do. Finn knew that she believed he only killed him because that was his nature, his teachings, but she was wrong. Finn killed Rune because he was in love with the Hunter, he had been for a long time and after all this time, it hadn't changed. He wanted to get that message to her, she belonged to him, and nothing was going to change that. He didn't care that his clan had abandoned him because of it, his heart lay with the forbidden Hunter.

Finn had fallen in love with Earth, he had adapted to their odd customs like an expert. Of course he had to change who he was because on this planet he aged differently, no one would guess that Finn Balor was centuries old. He especially liked the custom of wrestling, of course he couldn't show his magic because Humans were naturally cautious of anything they didn't understand. So every now and then he had to lose and let someone else be superior. His human heart skipped a beat when Raven finally came into view, not one inch of her had changed, the only thing that seemed out of place was the fact that she wasn't wearing her armor. She had on a loose black skirt and a t-shirt. He felt the smile slip onto his face when he looked at her feet, she had on a pair of ankle socks, each of them a different colour. He knew that she refused to wear the Human shoes, if she couldn't have her boots then she would settle for socks. Not that she knew what they were called. She walked with Hunter down the corrider, her silver orbs looking every which way, no doubt trying to find out where the scent of Warrior was coming from. Finn took a breath and turned on his stealth magic, no doubt that would throw her off. The signal to him suddenly snuffed out, just like he had done to Rune. The thought of it still made him smile, he couldn't help it, he was a Warrior after all.

"So explain to me again what exactly is a warrior?" Hunter asked again as Raven walked beside him, the scent had suddenly stopped and that alone worried her. She had hoped that after all the time on the planet would make his magic weak, apparently not. The Warrior's magic was just as strong as it always was.

"It's the opposite of a Hunter" Raven answered again, she wasn't quite sure what Hunter expected, she thought that she had explained it clearly enough.

"Ok so why is that bad?"

"Because if he had his way Earth would be the next planet to explode into tiny peices"

"Can they do that?"

"The Posi-bolt can"

Hunter went to open his mouth but decided against it, his world was stressful enough, he didn't need to add Raven's into it. Although it might be a little too late for that. Raven let out a breath,

"He's not here."

"Wait! Where are you going?" Hunter rushed after her as she turned to walk back to the exit.

"I'm going back to Storm, then I'm goin huntin"

"You can't hunt on this planet Raven"

She gave that wicked smile, "Just you watch me Hunter"
