~*Thank you for choosing to read my story.
Sorcerer Hunters is my absolute favorite anime, and it made me very happy to think of an idea for a cition of my own. I hope you enjoy. Please review, and don't flame me. This is my first fiction after all, and I can only get better in time ;) *~
Ch.1 - Eolitz - Town of Mystery
"Yes, Big Momma. We understand." Chocolate said, in a confused tone.
"Remember, my children, I want you to do whatever you feel is right." Big Momma said, looking down at the Sorcerer Hunters with a sympathetic look.
"All right, that's all. Bai bi!" said Daughter in her usual cheerful voice, before vanishing in a puff of pink smoke.
The hunters remained motionless for a few moments before talking again. Big Momma had never been so vague when sending them on another job mission. This time, she had only told them the town they had to head to: Eolitz. The hunters had not even heard of it. Big Momma gave them their directions and told them that she needed them there.
"This Sorcerer hasn't even done anything wrong..." started Chocolate.
"Well, not from what Momma told us. She said she only wants us in that town. For whatever reason..." Marron continued.
Carrot, the "messenger of love", grew a big grin on his face, "Well? What are we waiting for?! There's lots of pretty girls...I mean things we have to take care of!"
"DARLING! Don't you even think of looking at other women! Why would you need to when you have me?" she asked seductively, removing her jacket, and moving towards her small blouse."
Carrot yelped, turned and started to run from the crazed and horny Chocolate.
Marron, the silent Sorcerer Hunter of the group, sighed. He was a tall man with long, black hair that reached passed his mid back. He was a very handsome man, with chestnut eyes and soft, pale skin.
"That idiot.." Gateau grumbled, " he always has girls on the brain..."
"Gateau...please, just stop?" Marron asked, softly.
Gateau looked at Marron puzzled, as he continued to walk by Marron's side.
Tira walked behind the two males, paying close attention. While Marron was looking to the side at the thick forest, Tira pulled Gateau back and let Marron walk out of earshot.
"What's up with Marron?" she asked quickly, in a worried tone.
"He's just feeling, distant all of a sudden. It's like he's lost his passion for his job, indoing what he does, or maybe it's just that he's not happy with himself." Gateau answered.
"You being his best friend, I thought you'd know a little more than that.." Tira said, unsatisfied.
"Well, one thing I do know is that he isn't going to want anyone's help. Whatever it is, it's something that he needs to take care of himself. Otherwise, he would have talked to you about it already." Gateau said quietly.
"Hmm... I guess you're right." Tira said, speeding up her stride, to catch up to the lonely man.
They walked for another two hours, passing by nothing more than forest, before they reached the village of Eolitz. It was a small, quiet parsoner town, not unlike the rest on Spoolner. The people were busy in the marketplace, rushing around to get home for the supper meal. Merchants were yelling, trying to attract customers to their stands, to buy their products.
It was nearing dusk when the hunters entered the peaceful village. So, naturally, they headed straight for an inn to rest for the night.
When they were all settled in their rooms, Tira found her way to Marron's.
Quietly she knocked on his door and waited for an answer.
She stood patiently for a moment, before quietly knocking again. Again, she received no beckoning, so she opened the door to see if Marron was sleeping.
She checked the bedroom, if the bathroom was occupied, or if he was out on the balcony, but found him nowhere. Being the concerned person that she was, she sat, waiting to se eif he would return before morning.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The quiet Sorcerer Hunter, Marron Galce, wandered around the small village. It was the same as any ordinary parsoner town, with small modest housing, a bazaar (which at this hour was empty), weaponry, armor, clothing, pawn and alcehmy shops. He enjoyed the peacefullness of nighttime and often took midnight strolls around the towns he was placed for a job.
As he came upon the town square, he saw two lines of trees on either side of where he was walking, and there were benches in front of the trees. The benches face towards a giant fountain statue. The statue was of a horse rearing, and from it's mouth water shot into the air, and landed in a pool at its feet.
He approached the statue, hoping to endulge in this work of art. But as he got closer, a woman came into view. She was sitting solitary on a bench, to Marron's right.
He paused , and basked in her radiant beauty. This woman seemed no older than Marron was. She had purple hair, and red eyes. The moonlight that reflected off her skin made her appear almost ghostly. She had an eerie glow that drew Marron to look more deeply at her. He was entranced by the mysterious aura that seemed to surround her.
