A Hunter's Tale

How many years as it been? too many to count on, yet as he sit there, watching over the dream, watching as humankind evolve and change, how life slow vanish and is reborn from those ashes like a Phoenix, yet untouched by time, all cause of the burden he chose to carry for everyone, something he hasn't regret it in all his life, with nothing left for him to do, all he can do is watch over this Sanctuary and make sure everything stays safe.

As the days pass, he would watch over the Hunters Dreams, over the years it has slowly started to grow, making and creating place he wish he would never seeing again, yet welcome it. He gave a tired sigh as he looks down at himself, still wearing the standard Hunter outfit he found by  Cathedral Ward while wearing the Hunters cap he found on his journey through Central Yharnam, he gave another tired sigh as he looks to his left side to see his trusty Hunter Blunderbuss while to his other side was a weapon he got from a fellow Hunter he met in the Hunter's Nightmare, he used it through all his Hunt and become his trusty weapon through all of his Nightmaresh Dream, Simon's BowBlade or the BowBlade.

As the Hunter continue to sit on his arm chair, his head jerks up slightly, feeling a few presences coming nearing the area 'but.......how? I made sure to lock off the area from everyone' he thought as he looks slightly towards the window and out the area to see if he could spot the intruders.

As he looks on, he could see Yharnam at the distance, since then the dream had created some of the places he journey through and made it, into one large island in a way and some of the creatures from the Hunt could be seeing through the streets, but to feel someone entering this Nightmare, he couldn't let an innocent soul be lost by this, he couldn't.

He looks down at his weapons that lay on each side and grabbed them, feeling a strange energy entering him once more, like a long lost feeling, he gave a slight hollow chuckle, remembering the feeling all to well, he slowly got up as dust and grim would shift off of him as if, hadn't moved in years, he looks up towards a small crack that was up in the ceiling, the moons light shine through it as a lone blood red eye with a scar over it gaze through it.

In Central Yharnam

The Hunter made his way towards the last place he spotted the group of intruders/guest went to, running left and right, dodging any of the Villagers and dogs, he made up to the bridge to see in the distance a familiar fog for every fight he was all too familiar with it, so he double time and ran towards the fog, hearing the all too familiar screech.

As he made it towards the fog, he quickly ran inside to a sight he dreaded from the beginning; blood, body parts, all over the area, he curse under his breath, but then he heard the creature screech and looks over to see the Cleric Beast towering over three figures, he saw some kind of strange aura or arcane like shield around them as the Cleric Beast smash into it.

The Hunter growls and quickly switches out his Hunter's Blunderbuss with his Cannon, he quickly added some Bone Marrow Ash and took aim towards the Cleric Beast and fired, getting a large boom from the cannon, follow by the cannonball soaring through the air, hitting it's mark on the beast and getting to roar in pain, as it staggers away from the three figures.

As the Cleric Beast staggers away, the Hunter quickly switch back to his Hunter's Blunderbuss and ran towards the beast as he saw the figures and he almost lost his footing, since he had never seeing them or any kind of creature like them.

By the looks of the one wearing some armor, he could deduct that it or 'she'? was some kind of soldier while the other two were some type or royalty, if with what they were wearing meant anything, the only person he met that was royalty was the Vileblood Queen, till Alfred kill her, after he handed him the un-open Summons to Cainhurst Castle.

The Hunter shook his head and focus on the beast as it notices him, soon roaring at him in anger, forgetting the others to which know had notices him as the Hunter's move forward, his BowBlade in it's Blade Mode.

As the Cleric Beast got near, it raises it's larger arm and went to smash him into the ground, but the Hunter timed it and dodge to the left fast as the fist impacted into the ground, giving the Hunter a chance to strike to which he took it, as he does a charge attack, as the blade gave a sudden flash, to which the Hunter soon's spins in a whirlwind like motion, slashing at the Cleric Beast arm, getting a screech from it as it recalls it's arm back.

The Hunter saw this and quickly ran at the beast, as he got near it, he moved towards it's leg and slash at his feet, cutting in deep and getting a roar from the beast as it started to punch the ground in hopes on smashing the Hunter, but he was quick and rolls under it, getting behind it and pulls out a Molotov Cocktail, quickly throwing it at it's back, once more getting it to screech in pain.

As the fight goes on, the three female were looking at the Hunter in awe as was fighting the Cleric Beast with ease "sister, are thou see this?" ask the blue furred one as the white furred one next to her nodded "yes sister, I am" she soon remember their captain and looks over to the other female "Gleaming Shield are you alright?' she ask the now named Gleaming Shield, who was panting at using so much energy, but gave her a nod as she tries to control her breathing as she looks at the fight.

Meanwhile the Hunter was dodging left and right from the Cleric Beast's swings, being still for so many decades, had made him a bit rusty, but he still had his reflexes, yet he was slowly getting out of breath 'I need to finish this and fast' was the Hunters thought.

He looks at the beast and saw it was about to swing at him, he tense his body and just before the large hand of the beast could reach, the Hunter jumps backwards as he holsters his Hunter's Blunderbuss and flicks his sword, switching it to his other hand, to which soon turn into a Long Bow as he pulls out an arrow from his coat and takes aim, firing the arrow at the Beast's head, nailing it on the forehead, causing it to roar in pain as it holds it's head, shaking left and right.

The Hunter slides a few feet away, after he shot the arrow, he flicks his Long Bow and turns it back into its Blade Mode as he dashes at the Cleric Beast, looking to the side, seeing some of the olds coffins stack up and one was in a ramp position, to which made him smirk mentally as he ran towards the makeshift ramp, jumping on it and jumps off towards the Cleric Beast, stabbing his blade into its chest, aiming for the heart, causing the beast to let out a painful roar.

The Hunter then unholster his Blunderbuss, aiming straight at the Cleric Beasts head, at point blank and as he pulls the trigger, the Cleric Beast lets out a loud, painful roar as it felt the blood bullets enter its face, piercing its brains and skull, blood bursting out from the wound and falling on the Hunter, covering him in its blood as well, but the Hunter just ignore it, as the beast started to stagger left and right, slowly falling backwards as the Hunter pulls his blade out from its chest and lands on the ground lightly as he watches the Cleric Beast fallls down, hard to the ground, the Hunter let out a tired sigh as the beast burst into a flash of light as he felt the Cleric Beast blood, flowing into him, he could feel his strenght coming back 'aaaahh.......this old feeling......how I missed it......' he thought as he holster his weapons and turns towards the three equine, looking at them as he slowly started to walks towards them.

He soon stops a few feet away from them, as they look towards him in slight fear and awe, seeing him defeat the beast with ease while the guard had a look of respect as well, since he defeated the beast with ease while she had trouble to even attack it, both parties look at each other, waiting to see what the other would do, till the Hunter spoke, his voice deep and smooth, yet had a commanding tone, a tone of a veteran warrior "who are you all..........and why have you enter this forsaking nightmare........" were the words he spoke to them as the bell tower rang in the distance.
