On a bright, clear and cloudless day, two Tragnix were feeding off their favourite fruit amidst a wide opening in the forest. The Tragnix is a hoofed species with three horns on its head, that walks on four limbs. Their fur is brown and even perfectly healthy and well-fed Tragnix give off the appearance of an emaciated animal. Unbeknown to the peacefully feeding Tragnix, a human from the Brotherhood was eyeing them under cover of a bush. “Ah, they look like deers,” Saigo quietly exclaimed. “They will prove to be quite tasty, I’m sure.” Saigo deftly withdrew his Namu pistol and aimed. Just as he was about to pull the trigger he noticed a flickering light right behind the Tragnix and stopped. Caught off-guard, he lowered his pistol, and eyed the place where the light appeared. They, luckily, didn’t seem to notice the flash and were still feeding. Ten seconds passed, then fifteen, then thirty. Saigo then brought his pistol up to aim again, shrugging off the flicker of light as something caused by either the light wind and the sun reflecting of something or a small animal. A man suddenly appeared from the tree and bushes behind the Tragnix and waved a lightsabre. Two seconds later, the Tragnix had pranced away. Saigo stood up, dumbfounded. He, at the very least, recognized the man. “Hikaru?” Hikaru Striker, about to run off after the deer-like animals, stopped in his tracks when he heard his name called and turned around. “Kuso!” Saigo cursed in his native tongue. “Hikaru, you just completely ruined my hunt!” Hikaru, although surprised to find Saigo in this small enclave within the woods, didn’t want to give the animals plenty of time to get out of sight. “Sorry,” he said sincerely. “But I managed to injure one of the animals and it’s bleeding. We need to hurry if we’re to catch them.” Before he could get Saigo’s acknowledgement, Hikaru broke off into a sprint. Saigo, although still peeved, decided it was better to follow than argue with the guy. After a few minutes of running, Hikaru stopped behind a bush and signalled to Saigo who was still trailing behind. He pointed to the two Tragnix, just off in the distance. One Tragnix was licking the wound of the other. “What weapons do you have?” Saigo quietly asked. “If all you have is your sabre, I insist that you let me take a shot. I can down one of these animals without having to approach them and risk scaring them off again, just like you did.” “Okay,” Hikaru agreed. “I say best to go for the wounded one.” Both turned to eye the Tragnix again. One Tragnix was applying what looked like chewed leaves onto the wound of its friend. Both men guessed it was some sort of herb used for its healing powers. Hikaru wondered at the intelligence of these animals, because where he was from, deer didn’t do something that required such thought as this. Saigo fired, and a loud clap reverberated through the forest. Small animals, scared by the sound, either scurried or flew away. The wounded deer collapsed before blood started trailing from its head. The remaining Tragnix seemed to whimper at the fall of its friend. A sad, heartbroken look seemed to invade its face, and Hikaru wondered at it. Saigo smiled. The hunt was a success. As he slowly approached his fallen prey, the remaining Tragnix eyed him. Rage flashed through its eyes as it eyed the pistol Saigo carried, correctly guessing it was the murder weapon, and dove. Saigo had assumed the remaining animal would have just ran away as he approached, like deers usually do. But before he knew it the Tragnix had impaled him with a horn. Hikaru ran to the aid of Saigo. The Tragnix saw him and charged. It was not going to be denied its revenge. As far as it was concerned, the humans had killed its mate and they would pay for it. Hikaru tried to move away from the charging Tragnix. The Tragnix’ horns missed Hikaru, but a hoof managed to hit at his side and left arm. Luckily, his lightsabre was in his right hand. Hikaru pushed the button on the cylinder of his sabre to activate it. He waved it around erratically as he tried to get on his feet. The Tragnix eyed the lightsabre, and knowing the damage it could cause from its previous hit to its mate, it slowly backed away from Hikaru. Hikaru stood up. His left arm wasn’t broken, but it was bleeding some. He eyed the Tragnix and stood in a pose so as to defend himself from another charge with his lightsabre. The Tragnix got the message and galloped away. Hikaru let out a breath of relief. He tried to clench his left hand. It moved, accompanied by a lot of pain, but not by much. He was also sure that his left side would show signs of brusing in a matter of hours, but he counted himself lucky. He walked over to Saigo who was sprawled on the floor, lying on his back. “Saigo, are you okay?” He eyed a wound on Saigo’s thigh. It was bleeding but not very deep. “That kisama of a deer! I … I can’t move.” “I’ll stop the bleeding first. I doubt I can carry you myself, so I’ll lay you somewhere safe and go call for help. Okay?” “Al..” Saigo stuttered. “Alright. I feel … I feel very sleepy.” OUTCOME: Hunt Successful, Tragnix slain. Saigo: 5EXP, Crippled Hikaru Striker: 5EXP, Wounded Edited by scarththegrim, May 26 2011, 10:57 PM.
