"Stay here" Rose said as the two of them arrived at a corridor which was empty except for a door in front of them.
JR nodded and Rose went in.
The first thing Rose saw when she entered the room was her uncle's back, his face was staring at the window. (By the way, her uncle wasn't in Huntsclan uniform)
"So, you've finally decided to bring her" the Huntsmaster (Let's just call him this because I don't know his real name) said, without facing his niece.
"… Yes, uncle. I decided that it would be for the best if she… really knew who she was and where she came from" Rose replied.
"Then, she will take over your place as Huntsgirl"
"No!" Rose said. "I mean, at least not yet. Just because I brought her doesn't mean I've decided she will take over my place. I will give her the right to choose if she wants to be part of the Huntsclan or not"
The Huntsmaster turned around. "She's a descendant of the Huntsclan. It is her obligation to join us hunt magical creatures and most especially, slay dragons"
"I want her to be normal, uncle. I want her to live a normal life"
"But she is not and you know that so is the reason you brought her here to see me because you have no courage to notify her"
Rose stayed silent.
"Bring her in. I will tell her everything"
Rose opened the door and let JR in.
"Took you long enough, I was bored to death standing-" she began but stopped when she saw the Huntsmaster staring at her. "Uh… hi?"
"Hm… You can leave now" the Huntsmaster said to Rose.
"What? But, uncle, maybe I should-"
"Leave!" he ordered.
"… yes, uncle" she replied and exited the room, leaving JR and the Huntsmaster alone.
JR felt awkward as silence surrounded them. She stared at the man who was said to be her granduncle. She had to admit he was some kind of creepy. In fact, she didn't like the air of the room itself.
'The sooner this is over, the better' JR thought.
"Follow me" the Huntsmaster as he went to the bookshelf. He took out a book from the second row and the shelf slid to reveal a circular room.
JR was in awe as she followed the Huntsmaster inside. The room was made of some kind of metal and it had weird symbols written on it that JR didn't understand. At the middle of the room held at an upright position by some kind of green force field, was a staff… a very familiar staff.
'This is way weird' JR thought as she stared at the staff. 'And I swear I've seen that before… But where? Damn my memory…'
"Has my niece told you anything?" Huntsmaster asked.
"Huh? About what?"
"I thought so. All those nonsense of being normal is ridiculous. You are one of us, whether you like it or not. It is your birthright. It is written on your hand" he said as he pointed towards JR's right hand.
JR took out her glove and looked at her hand. It was her birthmark of a dragon. She always liked when she was kid. But she didn't know what made it so important.
"What about it?" she asked.
The Huntsmaster let her see his right hand, it was the same mark. "This is our symbol. Anyone bearing this will automatically have his destiny written for him"
The Huntsmaster walked over to the staff and grasped it in his hands. "You will become one of us and fulfill your destiny, to continue the legacy made by our ancestors"
He walked over to her and handed her the staff. "As one of the Huntsclan"
I'm just curious for your opinion, do you think JR should have a love life?
