Hunt 3: The Red Haired Hunter

It's been 6 days since Zedept and Lyra started their journey together. Their supplies are running low and they only have a day's worth of food left.

Forest: Mid-Day

Zedept and Lyra are walking through the forest. Lyra is falling behind. "Man, I'm hungry." She says as she sits down. "We need to conserve food." Zedept said as he sees her sitting. "Ahhh! Someone help!" A female voice said loudly. "Let's go." Zedept said. Lyra got up and they rushed to where the voice came from.

They see a female surround by a herd of Jaggis. Zedept and Lyra jumps in and kill the Jaggis. "You ok?" Lyra asks. "Yes. Thank you." The female said. They turn around and see a long red haired girl with matching red eyes in Hunters Armor and a Commander Dagger Sword and Shield. Lyra helps her up. "My name is Raylin." The red haired hunter says.

"I'm Lyra and this is Zedept." Lyra said and pointed at Zedept. "Thank you for your help." Raylin says and bows. "It looked like you needed it." Zedept said cruelly. "That was cruel." Lyra said to Zedept. "No, he's right. I'm not much of a hunter." Raylin said. Lyra went to say something when her stomach growled. "If you're hungry, I can take you back to my place in Cavirdast." Raylin said.

"So we're close to Cavirdast?" Zedept asks. "Yeah, only about an hour." Raylin said. "Good, let's go." Zedept said and starts to walk off. "Not much of a people person is he?" Raylin asks Lyra. "Nope." Lyra responds as she shakes her head. "Are you two a couple?" Raylin asks. Lyra's face turned red. "No! Just old friends." Lyra said. "Hurry up!" Zedept yells. Lyra and Raylin catches up with him and they head to Raylin's house.

Cavirdast: Raylin's House

Zedept, Lyra and Raylin enters. "Dad, I'm back!" Raylin says. "I'll go to the back and see if he's here." Raylin said and walks to the back. Zedept and Lyra looks around. "Look at all these weapons and armor." Lyra said. "This is a workshop." Zedept said. Lyra looks at him. "How do you know?" Lyra asks. "This is Cavirdast, the city of blacksmiths. Almost every male here are either blacksmiths or hunters and judging from all of this equipment, he's a blacksmith and this is his workshop." Zedept said.

Raylin comes out with some bowls of food. "Dad's not here so he must be running an errand right now but here's some food as thanks for saving me." Raylin says. "Thank you, we are low on food." Lyra said and grabs a bowl and starts eating. Zedept takes one and eats standing up, looking at the equipment. "If you need to restock on supplies, the Market Area is the best place here for that." Raylin says.

"Thanks, we'll stop by there and restock." Zedept said. "Hey Raylin, is your dad a blacksmith?" Lyra asks as she finished her bowl. "Yeah, he's the best in the city." Raylin said. Zedept finishes his bowl and hands it back to her. "Thanks." Zedept said and goes and sits down and places his greatsword next to him. 7 minutes later, a man walks in carrying tools. The man sees Lyra and Raylin. "I see that you're back and that you brought someone with you." He says. "Hi dad, this is Lyra, she saved me from a herd of Jaggis." Raylin says.

Lyra gets up and bows. "Hello sir." Lyra said. "Thank you for helping her out." He says. "It looks like we meet again sir." Zedept said. The man turns around and sees Zedept. "So it's you." He says. "That's Zedept dad, he saved me as well." Raylin says. "May I asks why you came back here?" The man asks Zedept. Lyra and Raylin are confused. "Dad, you know him?" Raylin asks. "I came here years ago to get better equipment." Zedept said. "So what do you need this time?" The man asks. "Lyra needs a better weapon. Can you improve her long sword?" Zedept asks. Lyra hands him her long sword. He examines it.

"Yes, do you have any Ice Crystals, Iron Ores and Isisums?" He asks. "No." Zedept says. "Then I can't help." He says. "The ice mountains near here has those materials." Raylin says. "Then let's restock on supplies and go." Lyra said. "Fine." Zedept says. "Raylin, go with them since you know the mountains." The man says. "Of course." Raylin said. They go and get supplies and heads to the mountains and after 4 hours, they got the materials they needed and heads back. They hand him the materials and the man takes them to the back and after an hour, he comes out with a new long sword.

"Here you go Lyra." He says and hands it to her. Lyra takes it and unsheathes it. "The blade is cold." Lyra said. "I've improved your Iron Katana to Frost Razor. You now have ice element attacks, every time your sword hits a monster, they get hit with cold as well." He says. Lyra sheathes her new long sword and places it on her back. "Thanks." Lyra said. "How much?" Zedept asks. "Nothing, it's on the house since you saved my daughter." The man says. "Thank you. We should start heading north now to Orinvasfer." Zedept said.

"The big port city that's past the mountains?" Raylin asks. "Yes. I believe that we might be able to get a lead on a monster we're searching for." Zedept says. "Of course." The man says. "Let's go Lyra." Zedept says and walks out the door. "Thank you again. Let's meet again soon Raylin." Lyra said and leaves as well. Raylin looks on. "You want to go with them don't you?" Her dad asks. "But what about you?" Raylin asks.

"I'll be fine, here." He says and hands her a red and black medium bowgun. "But this is." Raylin said. "Go ahead on enjoy yourself." He says. Raylin smiles and puts on her Jaggi gunner armor and places the bowgun on her right side and chases after Zedept and Lyra.

Outside Cavirdast's North Entrance

Zedept and Lyra are walking north. "Hey, wait!" Raylin's voice said. They turn around and sees Raylin in gunner armor and a bowgun. "Let me join you on your journey." Raylin said. "I say it's a good idea to have a 3rd person." Lyra said happily. Zedept turns away and starts to walk. "You two coming?" Zedept asks as he sees them standing there. They both get happy and catches up to him.
