After jumping past about a few hundred trees, I finally feel a little safer. I wasn't sure if the demi-human would be aggressive, but it was best to be safe than sorry because the demi-human was really powerful.

"Huff.... Huff..." I stopped to catch my breath and finally turned behind. "Haha, I guess I lost him. Maybe it's best to start searching for food now, my tummy is killing me"

I came down from the tree and walked around to save energy, hoping to find animals to hunt. A sudden rattling sound came from the left side. I jumped up on to the closest tree and begin my way to it.

"Hmm, it looks like a cow. I guess it's my lucky day." I said as I prepared my darts that was tinted with a chemical that can cause an animal the size of this cow to fall into a coma with only two hits.

Right when I started to aim at the cow with my blow pipe, a swift shadow flew out of no where and sliced the cow's neck. I rubbed my eyes and had a closer look. This creature had long ears and white hair, so I guess it was an elf. It looked to be just a little shorter than me.

I wanted to continue observing the elf, but my tummy was starting a riot in my own body, so I decided to make my way around the elf and continue looking for food.

I walked slowly and stealthily across the trees, to both save energy and stay hidden. No matter what, I don't want to face this elf. I estimated that it is a lot stronger than the demi-human and I don't think that I'll be able to escape it if it was aggressive.

I made sure that I was fully hidden and sure that I didn't do anything stupid to reveal my location, but I suddenly heard "You! Who are you!" I turned to the elf, both surprised that it found my location and can speak English. The elf was sitting there and tearing up the cow's meat like how I would eat a chicken drumstick. "Maybe it's just my imagination" I told myself.

I took another step, or at least tried to, when suddenly a katana slashed the branch in front of me. It appeared all a sudden and dissapeared as quickly as it came. I know that it's a katana, or at least something familiar, from the clean slash it left and the slashing sound it created from the sudden disturbance of air. "Don't move and tell me who you are!"

This time, I am sure it wasn't my imagination, so I replied "My name is Roland, I bring no harm." I hoped that the elf won't slice my throat in half all a sudden. Thoughts went through my mind as I think of ways I could use to escape if it ever comes to it. I could focus all my soul energy and create a burst where I can dash a short distance almost instantly if I needed to. But, if it were to use that attack it used to kill the cow, I might be dead meat without even having the chance to react. I can only take a deep breath and hope for the best

"My name is Kishi Rahl. I won't hurt you as long as you don't act rashly," the elf replied. "I can tell that you are hungry. Would you care to join me to enjoy this cow here?"

My tummy went crazy when it heard that. I don't trust him fully yet, but I guessed that trying to know him more won't hurt too. "Alright, thanks"
