Bounty Hunter Bash Unlocked Part Two

 Wendigo Hunt

“Right, what is the next ingredient?” Strena asked.

Then her face changed.

“Not that it matters! You’re all going to fail anyway, so what is the point?”

“Nothing to do with you! Now bring the girl back, NOW!”

She looked at Zaryb with narrow eyes.

“Is he always this demanding?”

Wolfox came out.

“Yes. Now, where is this wendigo?”

“Weeellll!” He sang as he pulled her leg up and scratched the back of Stena’s head. “You’re looking for a deer that looks like it has a deformity, making the eyes at the front of the head and not at the side. Which are larger than your average deer and more like human eyes as well. Or a humanoid deer, some breeds are humanoid.”

“Is that why we’re in the middle of a field of deer?”

“Well, the best place to hide a needle in a haystack!” Leonardo spoke as he painted the scenery.

“Exactly Leonardo.”

“And how would you know that?”

“I raise chickens at home.”

Speaking of which, I am really getting worried about them. After this, I am going to have to check in on them. 

He let out a deep breath.

I haven’t seen them in over three years at this point! I sure as the Demon Realm hope they haven’t been eating each other again or like how the pigs did.

“Really, you have chickens?”

“Yes.”

“You’re full of surprises!” Purred Cerpheres.

“And?”

“They’re cannibals and this is the closest hunting ground.”

They nodded.

“So keep an eye out for red, ci?”

“Yes.”

“Trained you well!”

“Wolfox!”

“Fine!”

That was when Strena and Bash saw it. It was nearly the size of a tree. In fact, they would have missed it if they did not see the branches move. Only to realise that they were not branches at all nor were they made of wood for that matter! They looked down to see the massive deer head looking directly and hungrily at them. They looked down to see the body of a man with the legs of a deer. Yet the hands were like that of a man coated in fur and the claws of a wolf.

Strena covered her mouth as she could not help but be struck with fear. Both females could sense that it was looking directly at each and every one of them and seeing into their souls. Yet Bash could tell it was not just looking at their souls, but examining which would be easy picking to hunt down to eat. Suddenly she took a step closer to Strena.

“Leonardo, are you done?”

“Ci.”

“Then get closer to Uncle Chashathrophogh.”

“Urm, right.”

“Why?”

“Did you see something, dear?”

She pointed at the creature. Leonardo and Zaryb were the first to see it and their eyes widened. 

“Oh.”

“That’s not just a wendigo, that’s a King Wendigo!” Zaryb exclaimed.

“Wait, they have kings? How?”

“By eating one hundred of their own and one thousand humans.”

Bash and Strena felt all colour drain from their faces.

“Do you think that he’s going to try-”

That was when Bash spotted Gajellidor nearby.

“What is it?” Asked Leonardo.

Bash closed her eyes and saw him with Grasharlo. Then she felt her mind’s eye being pulled up. She tried to pull away but she could not. She tried to open her eyes but they would not open. She found herself powerless to stop her mind’s eye from being dragged up to see Gajellidor looking directly into her soul. She tried to break away from his eyes but she felt like she was being physically held in place. Her head started to pound as he stared deeper. Her heart pounded as she felt all her energy being drained in her body.

“Help!” She was only just able to whisper.

She felt a hand on her and she dropped and collapsed.

“In the forest to the left.” She whispered before she fell unconscious.

Chashathrophogh checked her pulse to see if she was still alive. He let out a sigh of relief, yet she was as cold as ice and coated in sweat. He looked up to see them and looked at her. He curled his lip to hide the fact that he was biting it.

Zaryb came by her.

“Go, I’ll stay.”

He nodded as he, Strena, Cerpheres and Leonardo ran to them. Yet before they could get anywhere near them the ground rose up in front of them. Chashathrophogh swiped and the ground moved causing the deer to gallop away. Yet they ran on and on and on. They saw the fire balls. Strena sent water out of her palms as they ran on and on and on. Next was the wall of ice stakes. Cerpheres sent fire out to them and they were able to run on and on and on. Next thing they knew was being blasted back. They looked up to see that it was only Grasharlo.

Strena sent fire at her and Chashathrophogh sent ice at her. She was able to melt the ice and put the fire out before they could even have a chance to hit. Cerpheres went to send her away but she blocked with the ground. Yet Cerpheres sent a blast at the wall and it exploded. The next moment she saw the fire and ice. Then she was able to stop them both! She then sent black balls at them. That was when they split and shot down.

Pain entered each and every one of them. Then they felt one one directly strike them. Yet they were too stunned to cry out. Then they were blasted back. The next thing that they saw was the crash spinning down. Leonardo rolled out of the way as the other two stopped him and went to fire rocks at her. She turned them all to dust before they even came close to her. Then they saw a circle. Then strange bony weapons of all kinds shot at them. They all had to leap back as fast as they could.

They looked up to see Gajellidor had approached the wendigo. They went to charge at it but Strena’s face changed and, with inhuman speed, hit them all out of the way with unnatural strength. They all looked at her. They ran to her only to be hit by black spheres. They cried out in pain as they flew back. They rolled as they landed. They used the momentum again to roll up then they saw Strena dive down upon him. He quickly blocked with daggers as he punched her on and to Cerpheres. He placed a hand on her hand and her eyes closed.

The next thing they felt the pain and rolled. They used this to get back up for the third time only for to see the stakes and they only just blocked them with the sides skimming the side of their heads. They winced slightly as they took a glance at Gajellidor as he sent a blast of silver grey to the wendigo.

They then went to run at him only to be hit by rocks. They looked back at the ditch as another wall came at them. Chashathrophogh and Cerpheres only just stopped them.

That was when they looked back to the unconscious Strena in the trajectory of the rocks. Quickly Chashathrophogh dove to get and stopped the rocks before they could even hit. Only to be hit and his head hit the ground and all went black.

When he woke he saw the dead wendigo without his skin and antlers then the crying Strena.
