Hi guys! I know of you want to have Jake and Rose fight as AM and HG but I'm afraid that that it won't come in this chapter or in the next. It'll be in the later part of the story.

JR blinked as the Huntsmaster placed the staff in her hands. 'He didn't just say that… no way, he just said that…' she thought.

The Huntsmaster walked around the room as he talked. "We, the Huntsclan, live strictly by the severe code of kill. We hunt and slaughter magical creatures hidden in the depths of this miserable city. After our time has ended, it is our responsibility to pass this right to the next generation of Huntsclan. That staff has been here for many centuries passed on from time to time. Your mother did follow this rule at the beginning until of course she married that bothersome husband of hers. Nevertheless, she made up for it by bringing you here. But she was wrong in thinking that you can choose what path you will take. She could never have stopped you from fulfilling your true destiny, I would see to that myself" the Huntsmaster explained as he smiled at his grandniece. He took back the staff and placed it on its original position. "Training for you will not be so necessary since you are a descendant of the Huntsclan. But we shall see your capability soon enough".

JR's mind was still numb as she followed the Huntsmaster out of the room. He closed the room then he took out a parcel and handed it to JR.

"From now on, you will call me Huntsmaster and consider this as my gift to you" he said. He walked to the window and stared outside. "I would have wanted you to meet with my grandson, unfortunately, he had other businesses to attend to so another time"

Until now, JR was still processing in her mind what had happened. Then, a knock was heard.

"Enter" the Huntsmaster said.

Rose came in. "Uncle, we have to-"

"We're done. You can leave but expect this will not be our last meeting" he said, without turning to Rose.

"…Of course, uncle" she replied curtly and dragged JR outside the house as quick as possible.

They both got in the car and Rose headed towards their house.

The first few minutes of the trip was silent as Rose thought of what to say and JR was thinking of what she had heard.

"Jade, honey? Are you alright?"

JR barely managed a nod.

"What… what did he tell you?"

JR didn't reply.

"Jade?"

"Why did you stop mom?" JR asked suddenly.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Why did you stop being … part of them when you and daddy married?"

"Oh" Rose replied. She thought for awhile. "You see, I didn't want to mix up my relationship with Jake together my training. And after you were born, I made the decision not to let you have to do with any of this until you were at the right age"

"Is that all?"

"What?"

JR stared at her mom. "Is that the only reason why you stopped? Because of daddy and me?"

Rose was surprised at the question. "Er… yes, of course. There can be no other reason" she said.

JR didn't believe her mom one bit. Even though her mom was like the business type of woman, JR never thought of her as someone who would hurt anything just because of a stupid tradition, right?

JR sighed. She decided not to pursue the topic, for now, and ask something she's been dreading.

"So, am I, like… supposed to… do this thing then?"

"The decision is yours to choose, Jade" Rose answered simply.

"But he said that it was my destiny, that nothing could stop me from fulfilling everything he told me, he said he would see to that himself"

Rose took off her view of the road and stared at her daughter. "Well then, I say you can select what you wish to do and I will see to that myself"

JR smiled. Her mom and dad were so much alike.

But Rose's smile soon turned into a frown as she looked back at the road. "But Jade, you must promise me not to tell anyone. And I'm afraid that includes your dad"

JR knew she was going to say that. "Ok" she replied.
