When Rase wakes up, she gathers the daggers she used for the mission yesterday. The weapons need to have some maintenance, she puts on her Wolf Mask and steps outside her tent. While walking to her destination she passes different villagers and they greet Rase with a slight bow. they are in dark garments similar to Rase and others wear all of them wearing laughing demon masks even the children are wearing them.

She arrives at the maintenance tent she sees her Father inspecting the weapons gathered from various missions.

“Hey Dad, How are you this morning?”

The man had dark short hair the same dark complexion and has light blue eyes same as Rase is taller than her and had a black tank top on he has the build of a trained soldier.

He turns away from inspecting the weapons and smiles at her.

“I’m fine just checking if these weapons are in good condition. How was your mission, Rase, I bet you were able to enjoy yourself, Huh? Did you test out the new daggers I made?”

Rase smirks while reminiscing about the battle.

“It was fun, though there wasn’t much challenge all of the ones that fought back were weaklings.

Rase then hand him the daggers

“The daggers you made were really sharp it could easily cut through steel swords. Could you do maintenance on it I’m going to ask Jehu and Shatia if they want to go hunting today?”

Drago takes them and puts them on the table.

“Alright Remember to do your exercises don’t want you to get rusty.”

Rase bows slightly to him

“Yes Dad, I will talk to you later.”

Drago didn't like being so formal so he hugs her and ruffles her hair.

“Bring back some more goodies!”

Rase sputters embarrassed at her Dad’s antics but hugs him back.

“Alright Alright, I need to go bathe now and meet up Jehu and Shatia.”

Drago chuckles and lets her go while waving at her.

“Have fun!”

Rase walks back to her tent to get fresh new clothes then goes to the rear of the village and goes to an open river that has everyone from her clan bathing. Rase’s clan is not hesitant about bathing with other people they already know.

After bathing and chatting with some of her clansmen afterward she made sure to put her mask back on. After getting ready she goes to find Shatia and Jehu who are throwing knives at the trees out of boredom

They are both wearing their dark garments with their smiling demon masks, Shatia’s mask was in the shape of a white fox, she had different chains attached to her waist.

Jehu is laying on the grass and turns his head in Rase’s direction since he is the first to notice her. He greets Rase by waving.

“Hey, Rase! How are you this fine morning? Shatia is grumpy as usual Since she hasn’t been sent on a mission for a few days.

Shatia scoffs and continues to throw knives at the tree.

“It’s boring not being able to go out to play with you guys the other adults are so dull you guys know how to have a good time.”

Rase shrugs and folds her arms.

“Well, we can go hunting today so it ought to be fun.”

Shatia finally turns her attention to Rase practically shaking with excitement.

“Depends if we can find people. Let’s get going then!”

Jehu jumps on his feet pumping his fist in the air.

“Woo! Another hunt I wonder what fancy wears we can find.”

Rase motions them to follow her.

“Let’s go tell the Elder we are going hunting and go get our weapons from my dad he should be done with the maintenance of them.”

The three of them go into the elder’s tent, The elder holding his smoking pipe as he is looking at the papers on the table they are they are maps of the new world

Jehu in his excitement screams at the top of his lungs

“Elder we are going hunting!”

Startled by his loud voice the elder glares at them but then quickly gives them a smile.

“I see, You guys need your exercise so have fun! If you find something like good weapons and wears bring them back if you would.”

Shatia is the one to respond.

“Alright, the old man makes sure you have a fun mission for me next time so I don’t get left behind, again.

“Of course little fox now go have fun!”

Three of them go out of the tent then Rase begins to speak

“Alright, Let’s go get our weapons and Riding Beast.”

Then all three of them go to their tents to get ready and meets at the Riding Beast stable and they get a carriage.

Jehu takes the reins and Shatia and Rase sit in the carriage. Jehu guides the Riding beast to go north of their position.

…

Five people are traveling through the forest.

Four males one female are limping through the forest hoping to get somewhere safe before someone attacked them again.

Ulau is the one leading them through the forest as his friends are struggling to walk each of them supporting each other since they are injured though some are worse than the others

Ulau begins to mumble to himself.

“This forest is our best bet for camouflage… but for how long.”

Ena who is supporting the limping Iuo looks behind herself making sure Mani and Julius are keeping up.

“Maybe we got away from the Vatu clan this isn't their territory we can only hope other clans won't attack us.”

“You never know in this place people will attack for anything, fuck!”

Mani flinches as Julius accidentally trips almost dropping Mani he is carried by him. Mani was injured in the previous battle with the Vatu clan

Julius shakes his head in frustration

“I wish we could make it to the New world I heard that there is only peace there and no clan wars either”

Iuo grits his teeth.

“The wars are between the clans are escalating and regular people are getting involved… The clans are savages”

Ulua looks up to the gray sky hoping for a better future.

“We can only dream of peace in the Old world This place is just a playground for monsters in human skin.”

Ulau who is leading the group senses something he quickly signals them to stop.

There is someone with a strange mask on.

The group begins to draw their weapons each of them in the old world it was killed or be killed at this point it didn't matter if they were human if you didn't know them always assume the worst.

“You guys sure are defensive that’s good but can you handle someone like me!.

The woman in the strange mask suddenly throws a chain with a sickle at the end of it She maneuvers the sickle to aim for their heads

Ulau screams at the top of his lungs.

“Get down!”

But it was too fast Iuo wasn’t dragged down fast enough and couldn't draw his weapon to block it he is cut through his scalp

Iuo is dead before he hits the ground

Ulua begins to give orders

“Shit! Everyone get ready to fight remember it’s kill or be killed!”

Everyone in their group didn't have time to mourn Iuo’s death they had to survive.

“Woo! They are fighting back isn't this is exciting!”

Above them, a man with a similar strange mask jumps off a tree branch armed with a large spiked club he held it in one hand it’s ready to crush them.

“Let’s have a fun hunt!”

Ena quickly blocks the hit but the force of the club breaks her sword and caves in her head. She also drops dead.

Julius who is an archer tries to back up but is caught in Shatia’s chain as she drags him with enough strength to slam him into a tree and drags him further into the forest.

Dazed but still conscious Julius tries to pull his leg free but he doesn't have time to think before the sickle stabs him in the chest.

“AAAAAHHH You guys help me!”

But they were too busy fending off Jehu so he is on his own It was then that Juluis realized he wasn't going to make it.

The woman looks down at him with her laughing mask his blood on her hands.

“Now then I want to hear you scream! It’s music to my ears!”

….

Jehu is attacking Ulua and Mani who despite being injured he are being supported by Ulua with his throwing knives trying to blindside Jehu.

But suddenly Knives embedded themselves in Mani’s right arm from the shadows.

Mani stumbles frantically looks around

“Damn it Who is it now!”

“Monkey, Let’s switch the guy looks like he is good at hand to hand and I need to practice with these daggers!

“Alright, Wolf!

Rase jumps onto a tree branch and goes into the shadows, Mani who is caught off when Jehu comes at him with the club Mani tries to throw a knife with his left hand but Jehu breaks Mani’s hand before he could throw it.

Mani Falls to his knees and starts crying from the pain

“Fuck you guys we just wanted to get out of the Old world after what the clans have done to us we just wanted to get away from this shit! I don’t want to die like an animal!”

“You can whine all you want but it won't change your fate, I hope you find peace in death.”

Then Jehu brings his club down and ends Mani’s life.

...

Ulua is trying to fend off Rase as she dodges each of his swords strikes She maneuvers her body like a snake even if she is using a short dagger she is wearing him down.

Blood spurts through his wounds they are not that deep but he is getting sluggish and his vision is blurry.

“What did you do to me?

“Just gave you some poison from my daggers besides I wanted this to be quick so we could steal your weapons.”

“You bitch, What was even the point in coming here, Why did you even attack us!”

Rase pauses to think while twirling her dagger.

“This is a part of the hunt, We are the predators and you are the prey that’s just how it is.”

Ulua coughs up blood and falls to his knees and stabs his sword into the ground to hold himself up glares at her.

“All we wanted to was get away from here all these clans attack people for fun what is the point of all this death I won't let my friend’s death be in vain! I will take you out with me!”

Rase gets into a fighting stance while appreciating the man’s conviction.

“Good never give up even in the face of death.”

As his eyes get blurry he realizes that he is crying he takes out his sword from the ground and puts his energy into one final swing.

Then Rase dodges the sword and stabs him

in the neck with one of her daggers and his expression is that of grief for his friends and pain as his life fades out.

…

Rase Jehu and Shatia arrive back at their village with the wears and the weapons.

“Well, that was fun that group wasn’t really tough to kill. At least I could do one of my torture sessions.

Rase smirks and stretches her arms

“Yeah let’s go get cleaned up and go relax I’m tired.”

Jehu waves at them while running off.

“I will put up the wears we got see you guys at the lake!”

Alright, let’s go, Rase. This blood on my hands needs to be washed out!

Rase and Shatia go to clean themselves they go relax for the rest of the day.
