Cyclops

The next day they were walking around the woods.

"well the Farwood is mostly wooded how do we even find this creature?" asked Judas.

"well we can track them using signs of the beast," said Ion.

"I see you're an experienced hunter Ion," said John.

"yeah when you live out here you need to hunt to survive," said Ion.

"sound interesting hopeful we fight something tough," said Rize.

"man I feel like I'm in the wrong group," said Cyrus. They then continue to follow Ion who was following the tracks.

"so Rize have you got bigger in muscle lately?" asked Judas.

"Well I do work out every day with John we found a book with Gramp's workout routines," said Rize.

"he got some gruesome workouts but looking at Rize he seemed to work on him," said John.

"he also got into pro fights too he fought in the underground leagues and well he sent most of them home crying," said Cyrus.

"I only did because I thought it be fun but it was a letdown," said Rize.

"yeah I figured after one ran away," said Cyrus.

"you make some money at least from it least?" said Judas.

"yeah I suppose so but I end up putting into Anna's college fund and some for Alexis as well," said Rize.

"but the DHO has an Esper Program where they pay for college," said John.

"well according to Lydia who looked at it only applies to schools that are sponsored by them it meant for if they go to non sponsored collages," said Rize.

"you know what that is smart I see who the brain in that operation is," said Judas.

"yeah she is," said Rize.

"Well, she was one of my best honor students after all she went to that one university right for the magically gifted didn't she? you can only get in by invitation," said Judas.

"yeah she mentioned that and we went to a fancy party when she finished it had good food." said Rize. "she now teaches at the Esper High Academy it's probably why she wants Alexis to do more."

"well you can't fix it you never finished school and were only able to get in the DHO because of dad's connections," said Judas.

"yeah but Rize is in the top fifty DHO Hunters in the world only a few away from John," said Cyrus.

"that's the right man I got to step up my game," said Judas.

"we are getting close guys," said Ion.

"sick," said Rize with excitement.

They reach what looked like a camp full of gray cyclops.

"damn look at those big boys," said Rize.

"yeah so how tough are these guys Ion?" asked Judas.

"well for us it's probably easy since we are Esper Users," said Ion.

"well you guys are," said Cyrus. "I just do the normal thing I do provide support."

"fine by me," said John. Cyrus then slips into John's shadow. Rize then runs ahead and starts cutting down the cyclops.

"hey… Damn it." said Judas "he can't wait for us to come up with a plan."

"what the point he can probably kill this whole camp by himself," said Ion.

"well maybe we can make some headway to Snowfall this way," said Judas. After an hour Rize comes back to them covered in blood from the cyclops after killing them.

"well I guess that was fun," said Rize. Cyrus comes out of his shadow with a towel.

"Here bro," said Cyrus giving him a towel. Rize takes and wipes his face with it.

"Thanks, boss," said Rize.

"so let's go back to the hotel for now till they say something about opening the road," said Judas.

They made it back to the Hotel and Rize goes and takes a shower.

"so you guys tell the prince you guys we're coming?" asked Ion.

"well it was the royal family that gave us the mission," said John.

"I see maybe he recommended you guys then," said Ion.

"have no idea last time we saw Lizius was when Rize beat John in DHO Tournament," said Cyrus.

"well he is a Prince of Country so he must be busy," said Judas.

"well I bet he be glad to see us again," said John. Rize gets out of the shower in his spare clothes he was wearing the new Qliphoth Jacket with the symbol on the back with a red hood.

"Now I don't smell like crap anymore now then," said Rize. He then gets his phone out and calls Lydia and goes outside.

"he off to get a status report of home base," said Judas.

"well he is a caring father now," said John.

Rize was on the phone on the stairway of the hotel with Lydia.

"so how is everything at home?" said Rize.

"alright the boys are fine but short you left Ellie start to have a fever so she is in bed right now," said Lydia on the phone.

"what do you need me to…" said Rize before he was interrupted by her.

"no she be fine I'm here with her just carry on with your mission alright you got to prove that Qliphoth is the number one guild," said Lydia on the phone.

"alright hopefully we can get to Snowfall soon we are dealing with a closed road at the moment," said Rize.
