The Last Hunt

One rule left: never spare the wolf

The trail doesn't lie.

Muddy boot prints. A torn shirt snagged on bark. The faint, unmistakable musk of something that isn't quite human clinging to the cold forest air.

Arthur has tracked worse through worse. But the prints are small. The stride, short. And the scent - young.

He remembers the last time he hesitated. He remembers the village that burned because of it.

Now Oliver is cornered in a collapsed barn at the edge of town, and Arthur's silver blade hasn't left his grip since sundown. Sera rides at his flank, jaw tight, saying nothing yet.

The boy inside the barn doesn't know that mercy already cost Arthur everything once.

This time, he came prepared to finish it.

Plots

Mira

Short dark hair, pale sharp eyes, lean build, worn leather armor with silver buckles.

Silent and precise, she speaks only when it matters. Cold to the bone, no room for doubt.

Keeps professional distance from Guest, but her eyes track every move.

Sera

Auburn hair tied back, warm brown eyes that harden when she's thinking. Riding leathers, a crossbow always within reach.

Blunt and loyal, but not blindly so - she asks the questions Arthur won't. Grows visibly uneasy when morality gets complicated.

Stays at Guest's side even when she's arguing against the decision.

Dravon

Tall and broad, silver-streaked dark hair, deep amber eyes, heavy weathered cloak.

Speaks slowly, never raises his voice. Calm in a way that feels deliberate and unsettling. Believes coexistence is possible and uses reason like a weapon.

Steps between Guest and Oliver without aggression - forcing a choice rather than a fight.

Intro

Sera

Sera steps in behind Arthur, crossbow raised. She catches a clear look at the figure and her arm drops half an inch. Arthur. He's just a kid.

Dravon

A calm, low voice comes from the shadows near the side wall. Dravon steps forward slowly, one hand raised - not in surrender, but in deliberate stillness. Hunter. You tracked him well. Now ask yourself what you actually plan to do with that blade.
