Chapter 11

Cog sitting outside the town hall, sitting on a bench outside while taking a break from work. Alister storms out of the building with a look of twisted anger on his face as he stomped onto the streets, Kaze quickly followed him but Cog stops her. "What's got him so upset?" Cog asked as he looked up at her, Kaze folds her arms as she shook her head "He was talking with the mayor to find out who was responsible for the initial attack" She replied. Cog looks at Alister who was sitting by himself near a half-built house, Cog looks back at Kaze "Well, who was responsible?" Cog asked as he looks worried, "The White Fang, apparently they stormed into town, caused trouble and when the mayor stood up for the town. One of them blew up the mayor's office along with a few people" Kaze said "Alister got more and more angry then as the mayor finished telling him the story he stormed out. I overheard everything so I went after him to help calm him down".

Cog stood up "We should go talk to him. Perhaps we could come up with some sort of plan to find whoever did this" he walks down to Alister and Kaze follows behind him. Alister was sitting by himself to try and calm himself down, he hates it when he lets his anger get the better of him, but he could not help it this time. Cog sits beside him as Kaze stands in front of him. Cog looks at Alister "I know about your history with the White Fang. I understand why this would make you angry, me and Kaze are just as angry. But we'll find out who did this and we'll bring them to justice" Cog said as he puts his hand on Alister's shoulder then he shows Alister a small but kind smile. Alister looks at Cog then he nods "I know" Kaze glares down at Alister "You better apologize to Azur because you upset her, that is a sin punishable by death for making such a sweet cinnamon roll, scared" Kaze said with a cold tone.

Cog quickly stands in between Alister and Kaze "there is no need for any of that". Azur quickly runs down then she jumps into Alister's arms and hugs him tightly "don't be so angry, you're a huntsman. Huntsmen and huntresses always get the bad guy. That's what the fairy tales that my mama read to me say" Azur's childlike innocence with her big and cute eyes along with her bright smile got to Alister and got him to calm down instantly. Alister nods "That's right" he smiles gently as he hugs Azur then he stands up and holds her "I promise we'll find the person responsible and we'll bring them to justice. Just like those fairy tales" Alister said as Azur's eyes light up with excitement "You're so cool! I wanna be just like you when I grow up" Azur said as she bounced excitedly. Kaze looks at Alister with a sad look then she looks at Azur "What about me?", Azur looks at Kaze then she smiles "Of course I want to be like you too, big sis" Kaze's eyes widen then she smiles as she looks away.

Cog chuckled as he looks at the town hall then he sees the sun setting "We better get back to the town hall, we'll ask the mayor and the townsfolk more questions tomorrow and we'll come up with a plan to find them" Cog said as they all walked back inside. As night came and everyone was as Kaze was sitting by herself with one of her katanas close to her while she slept.

Kaze as a young girl were in a dojo with her twin sister, Gale along with their master who was a tall, bulky and rather intimidating looking person. "One, two, three!" The Master said as the two swung their practise swords at a training dummy. Each day the twins were training from the time they woke up till the time they went to bed. The Master's training was tough as Kaze remembers one time they had to fill up two buckets of water, to the brim, walk up to the top of a mountain via a staircase that seemed to go on forever. All without spilling a single drop of water. The Master himself was a tough but fair man, he was renown for the quality of the students that he trained. It was said that every student that was trained by him was to be destined for greatness. However, The Master was strict with whom he let into his dojo, which led to his students being treated with the upmost respect by many but also treated with nothing but jealousy by others. Gale was far above Kaze in terms of skill as Gale was naturally gifted when it came to combat. She had better control when she used her semblance which was the same as Kaze's.

The two sisters had a friendly rivalry which drove Kaze to train harder and get stronger, whenever Kaze struggled Gale helped her. This was something that The Master enjoyed seeing, The Master did not talk that much. He only ever spoke when he needed too. Seeing the two grow and get stronger made him feel a sense of pride and joy that he had never felt with his other students. At the end of their training Gale and Kaze were offered to take over the Dojo, Kaze declined but Gale accepted. Gale was confused by Kaze's decision. "Why didn't you accept his offer?" Gale asked as she brought a teapot, two cups then she set them down and pours green tea into the cups. Kaze smiles as she looks at her sister "I want to become a huntress and explore the world, save people and learn new things. Can't think of a better reason then that. Besides, I'll come back and help you out when I return" she said as she took a sip of her tea.

Kaze wakes up from her dream then she looks down "I have no reason to return now". The smell of breakfast fills the hall as Alister was wearing an apron along with Cog in the kitchen cooking up eggs, sausages, bacon and hash browns. "Come and get it!" Alister yells out to everyone while Cog hands everyone plates full of delicious looking and smelling food. Kaze's mouth waters as she walks over "Food, now. Gimme!" she demanded as she grabs Cog's shoulders, Cog smiles and hands her a plate of food "Don't worry we made plenty for you". Kaze bows then she takes the plate which confuses Cog, but he smiles at her regardless. Once breakfast was over and everyone was full, Alister, Cog and Kaze washed and cleaned the plates.

Meanwhile the same Shetland pony faunas that blew up the Mayor's office was in an office of his own, eating breakfast. Many heads of huntsmen and huntresses dressed the walls like trophies. The office itself had black granite tiles on the floor, walls and ceiling, white leather furniture and brown mahogany desk with a giant White Fang banner draped behind him as he ate at his desk. He picks up a cloth and gently wipes his mouth then he takes a sip from his teacup. A young White Fang member walks into the office "Sir! I have some urgent news" they said as they bowed their head. The man sighed as he put his teacup down "What is it?" he was rather annoyed that he was interrupted. The young White Fang member sounds nervous "w-well s-sir. It seems that Adam has taken over the White Fang and the town you attacked a few days ago has hired or at least contacted two huntsmen and a mechanic".

The man got out of his chair and walks to the front of his desk "Adam? Is that right? Well" he chuckled as he looks at the White Fang banner. "It was about time if you ask me. As for that town, tell Stag to send in some cannon fodder. I am interested to see what these huntsmen can do. We will test them and see what happens. If they die. Take their heads, the more trophies I have the better my collection will look" he chuckled as he looks around at his collection of trophies. The Young White Fang member leaves and closes the door behind him then he goes to find Stag. Stag was in a gym, punching a sandbag. Stag was massive in height as well as muscle mass, He too was a horse faunas. A scar over his left eye, bald, angry looking. He had a tattoo on his back that had "Crush em' all" written on in cursive. He was wearing shorts and a tight-fitting black shirt while listening to some heavy metal while he trained. The young White Fang member came in "Sir?", Stag rolled his eyes as he punches the bag so hard, he sends it through the wall beside the young White Fang member "what?" Stag said as he cracks his knuckles then he walks over to them and stands over them. "W-well the boss said to tell you to gather some. Uhhh "cannon fodder" to the town that he attacked not too long ago" the Young White Fang member said as he looks down to avoid eye contact with the annoyed mass that stood over him.

"right, I'm guessing that they somehow got in contact with some huntsmen? He wouldn't be interested if there weren't any to hang up on his wall. Fine I'll gather some men and I'll head out" Stag said as he grins "Bitches better give me a proper fight. I'm sick of getting nothing but fucking pussies to kill. This better be fun" he said as he walked out of the hole in the wall that he just made with a laugh.
