《Darkness Of Hell》Hunting Hunters
Advertisement
Suddenly, the door opens and Silvia's head pops up, "Ranger, let's go", she said looking at Ranger.
" Where are you going?" Winston said, standing on his feet.
"We are going for a hunt", Ranger said, looking for something on the shelves.
Before Winston could say anything, Silvia said, " you don't have to come".
Winston walks towards her and stands very close to her, putting his hand inside his pocket he takes out one and a half bottles of blood that he takes from the bar and puts it on her hand. He intently grips her hand strongly, making Silvia's eyes wide open, she didn't expect that he would touch her that way. "I don't take charity", Winston said, while holding her hand and pressing it firmly. " I want to come, and want to earn my living", he continued. Ranger was looking at them with wide-open eyes and he had forgotten what he was looking for.
Silvia freed her hand from his and left with fury without saying anything. Winston chuckled and looked at Ranger, he had a winning smile on his face.
On a footpath towards the jungle, Silvia with a bow and arrow followed by Madonna, Tobie, Ranger and Winston. Everyone except Winston knows what was happening, it was a daily play for them. Silvia has a Tulip arrow, which can make any animal unconscious for a few hours.
They reached inside the jungle, many groups came for the hunt. There is no rule of hunting, it's just not animals that get hunted here but also a hunter. Some come to hunt down animals, and some for hunters. The animal soul is valuable and can buy one to three bottles of blood, while the human soul is precious. It could give you up to six to ten bottles of blood if you find the right customer to deal with, or else you have to be satisfied with whatever you get.
But capturing the human soul is not easy. Firstly they live with the tribe, so capturing and selling any one of them is waging a war against the tribe. So only these tribesmen capture each other's members and sell them either here or across the border into the territory of the Qeorin dynasty, where they have high demands from here.

But to sell anything across the border is prohibited by the devil, the head of every dynasty called the devil. The Devil controls the cities through demons. The demon is the one who controls the cities, and in return, every demon has to pay a certain number of human and animal souls to the devil as a tax.
The human souls are the source of power, the devil melts and takes out the encryption that God put in them when he created them. This encryption contains the power and the memories of the soul. Whoever put this encryption into them gets the power but also the memories with it. So sometimes it can be dangerous as memories start juggling inside and create confusion and the illusion of multiple personalities.
Winston and Silvia along with others reached deep inside the jungle. And their usual play started. Silvia finds a place to hide behind the bushes, everyone hides with her other than Madonna. This part of the jungle is known for its dog habitats. It was a very simple trick, a cat walking alone is an invitation for a dog. Madonna starts roaming, making voices intentionally in the range for Silvia to shoot an arrow.
Behind the bushes, Ranger was staring at Silvia, he had an innocent smile on his face and she noticed him staring at her. First, she tries to ignore him, but then, "what?", she said with an irritating voice.
" Nothing", Ranger said, while continuing to stare at her with a smile.
"Then look somewhere else", she said with an alarming voice.
The smile faded away from his face and he turned towards Winston who had guessed the play now. He was looking towards Madonna, taking a small step and waiting for a dog to attack her. Besides him sitting Tobie doing the same.
Suddenly, they heard voices, behind the tree there was someone, hiding behind the darkness. Winston can see clearly into the dark now. This place has its effect, step by step it pours away the humanity inside you, every day you become less and less human. Getting a night visual is just the beginning.

Brown eyes glistened into the darkness and behind that eye appeared the shape. In the beginning, it looks like a dog, but as they got a visual of its skin they realised that it is not a dog.
" It's hyena", Silvia shouted at Madonna and she started running.
Hyena followed Madonna, and as it jumped and was about to catch her, Silvia pulled the string and shot an arrow, it went straight tearing everything that came in its way and hitting the open mouth of the hyena in the air.
Hyena fell on the ground, before falling, he struck a tree which broke a few of his bones. A bombing sound explodes taking over the silence of the trees. And suddenly from another side of Madonna appeared two more hyenas.
As Silvia spotted them she put an arrow in her bow and shot two consecutive arrows at both of them. They end up kissing the ground. Madonna reached out to the group, and before they could get over, what just happened. They realised that they were circled by hyenas.
Everyone in the group comes closer to each other. Tobie, Madonna and Ranger hid behind Winston and Silvia. Silvia was holding her arrow and about to shoot but Winston stopped her with a hand gesture. It's amazing how in a situation like this people often communicate without saying and still they understand each other perfectly.
They were not sure how many total hyenas there are. If they misjudge the number at this point it may end up badly, so they communicate with their eyes and just wait for everyone to come forward.
There were nine of them, they came from every side, circling the group.
"It's not wise to shoot", a hyena who likes their leader and is bigger than the rest, he has a scar on his face comes forward and says.
" What if I did? just like I did to them", Silvia said while pointing towards the dead hyenas with her eyes.
Hyena with a scar takes gaze at dead hyenas lying down and said,
"You may have shot them but you can't take them from here"
"You wanna bet?", Silvia said while pointing an arrow at him.
Winston comes forward, guessing the intensity of the moment, and said,
" Look, guys, we don't want trouble. It's unexpected what happened, can we just move along on our ways?"
"You think I am stupid, I can sell you both and those little scumbags for fortune", a hyena with a scar said.
Silvia looked at Winston, it seems like they had made a plan, and communicated the plan with their eyes. And so does the Hyenas. But before hyenas could take any step Silvia shot the arrow at the leader, it struck between his eyes and threw him back. Winston jumps towards Silvia, picks up two arrows from her back and strikes at the two hyenas attacking from behind.
Every hyena started attacking as they saw their leader get hit. Three hyenas have already fallen. Out of six one goes after Tobie, one after Ranger and two for Winston and Silvia each. Tobie got bitten on his stomach, and a hyena tried to grab his neck. But Tobie resists and bite him back on his tail. But the hyena was too strong for Tobie, so he pushed him away and put his sharp teeth again in his stomach, tearing the skin off. Thick red blood started to flow off, from his skin.
