"To mass produce Worlds and Planes Life and Death need some inspiration to make them different from eachothers.

Usually it begins with a , like what if pigs flew and eagles lived under the earth?

After a good what if come the rules to make the World/Plane work properly, then they create the environement and the inhabitants.

After the inhabitants settle, an Ego is made so it can keep them under control.

When Ego has observed his inhabitants enought and they start to become a menace to their own selves Ego picks the images or ideas that the inhabitants venerate and turns it into a God or Gods."

A big change happened when Sidon became the First Hunter, the hunters are the village protectors and because of the heavy weight of their weapons there aren't many members. Usually there are twenty to thirty hunters in the village, age and death change the numbers easily.

The hunters fought as a single big group, using the range advantage from the bows and spears and their numbers to eliminate the threats to the village.

When Sidon became the First Hunter he changed their methods, there were twenty-three hunters, he divided them in two ten-men groups with a senior hunter at the head of them and him the First Hunter would operate alone.

The new formation was inspired to the changes brought by a new scout member. When the retired army scout Todd joined the village he used his experience to better the scouts operations, three mans per team so they would skulk easily while covering more ground but still able to help each others. Forty-five scouts could explore the woods surrounding the village, place traps and bring food to the village daily while still have some scouts in reserve resting.

Sidon would take a hunter party inside the forest to train while the other eleven men would stay to protect the village. Usually the training was hunting some dangerous beast or some bandits that the scouts found. When their prey were subjugated he would then spar with them, eleven versus one so he could see how far their cooperations and their tactics would bring them when they faced a strong enemy.

The twelve men would then come back to the village to their expecting friends and family members, eleven banged up men and a hale First Hunter, when they came to rest inside the hunters longhouse Sidon would go man to man and explain to them what they did well and where they failed, he then would send the eleven of them to Todd for further guidance.

After Sidon became the First Hunter no hunter died from their expeditions and the most dangerous fights were done by him alone.

That's why Alfonse admired him so much and joined the hunters, trained harder than any other member and his hero himself told him he could become the next First Hunter if he could keep the good results without it going to his head and just dying from a cocky action.

Alfonse got called to the First Hunter house and he was estatic as always, he was gonna meet his hero again!

"Hey Al, the one in Fia's arm is my son. When he grows up he will become the First Hunter and I want you to train him."

Sidon said with a smile.

"W-what? I tought I would become the next Frist Hunter after you!"

Alfonse said a little more sourly than he expected.

"Eh, do you think I'm immortal and ageless? I'm getting old too, twenty of you still can't even make me sweat but in ten or twenty snows... Eh who knows?"

Sidon said with a predatory glint in his eyes.

Alfonse shivered, that was the man he had to overcome and it filled him of joy to know his hero tought so high of him!

"I-I'll train hard!"

Alfonse said and fled to train.

Nine snows later Sidon and his son, his Little Wolf exited from the village with only two spears and their clothes on, when they came back Sidon was carring his sleeping son on his shoulder and to every hunter surprise he had a bruise on his shoulder! Sidon visited Alfonse the same night.

"I made a promise with my son, if he could hit me once I would let him train to become a hunter. So in a while you will have to train him, from today onward you are the hunters trainer."

Sidon said.

"Y-yes sir! I will obey! Your child will become the strongest hunter!"

Alfonse said with some pride.

"He's already the strongerst hunter, he hits harder than the bear I killed snows ago... If I didn't assorb the impact with my spear... My shoulder... Eh... You need to be careful Al, don't think of him as a child or another trainee hunter. He's like a bear cub with the strenght of a giant bear, it seems that he can't get hurt and he is inhexaustible but when he moves and gets hurt he get tired, he just doesen't show it, when his endurance hits his limit he just faints. Keep moving, when he exposes himself hit him hard, dodge everything he throws at you because your life is on the line and just hit him until he drops, he will be back on his feet in a couple hours..."

Sidon said with a big smile and a predatory look on his eyes.

"A-are you sure sir?"

Asked the confused newly appointed hunters trainer.

Sidon just smiled and left. Alfonse started training the future hunters and after the heat a new kid joined, one with a red mane, white skin so even and so white to appear fake and two red eyes with a gold ring that shone like the moonlight. He started with the bases and after the lesson he said the same words as always.

"If you want to become a hunter early, fight me, beat me and I will make you a hunter right now! Who wants to challenge me?"

Alfonse said calmly and turned to leave.

"I wanna challenge you and become a hunter!"

Little Wolf said.

Alfonse was surprised, Sidon told him that his son would fight him and prepared him for the future duel but he didn't think it would happen after the first training section.

The fight started with a thrust from Little Wolf and he almost caught Alfonse by surprise, it was fast, sharp and vicious! But he dodged, the thrust turned into a sweep and Alfonse had to catch it with his spear, the hit was heavy! The instructor had to jump backward to lessen the impact, after the initial surprise Alfonse fell into the rhytm, dodge and hit until the child collapsed to the ground.

From that day forward each day was the same for Alfonse, train the kids then fight for your life with the child of your hero. Then something happened, the snow was coming and the little monster started to change, he was less hasty, left himself less exposed to counter attacks, after each fight he was thinking more and acting less on istinct, it made the first fights easier for Alfonse because Little Wolf was trying something new and he was bad at it but his improvement was eerily fast.

Then a day Little Wolf challenged Alfonse but he didn't rush to get the first hit, he just walked toward the instructor, relaxed, the weapon secure in his hands but in a relaxed pose, his next move unknown. His eyes shone with a strange intensity and it unnerved Alfonse, every step made the child bigger in his eyes, until it seemed he faced a giant. Alfonse lost his cool for a second and swept with his spear, Little Wolf took another step and disappeared! No, he pushed on the ground hard with his foot and slid under the spear and behind the hunter! Alfonse turned but he was met with a sweep! He jumped backward to assorb the impact but... It didn't happen, a light touch to his spear let him know of the child's feint but, it wasn't all... The little monster took a step forward and turned his sweep into a lunge. In the air Alfonse could do nothing to stop the spear and he got hit in the shoulder, the blunted stick that they used as a spear was still made from Hardwood and it hit HARD on his shoulder.

The hunters instructor found himself on the ground with a throbbing shoulder and a stick pointed at his nose.

"Do you give up unfair Alfonse?"

Said with a triumfant tone the new hunter.

"Yes, I give up! You are a hunter now!" Said a mortified Alfonse.

"I'm so sorry sir, I failed." whispered the crestfallen hunters instructor.

It was so low that no one should have been able to hear it but Little Wolf tilted his head and looked in askance to the downed man, then he just shrugged and left.

"Mother Fianna was right, when you break the flow of people they turn dumb and you can destroy them easily!"

Little Wolf said and Alfonse heard him, Alfonse wanted the day to end so he could to to his cubbyhole and cry injustice.
