A lost battle

"My name is Ares Stormray. I don't have much of a background, to be honest. I am not a noble and don't have any titles or military rankings... I can only say the places I went through in the previous years," Ares said in a somewhat stiff voice. For some reason, he couldn't relax at all. 

"Places you went through...? What do you mean by that, kiddo?" one of the Beast Hunters asked.

He had two sabers on his waist. Such fragile weapons weren't much common among Beast Hunters, but he seemed to carry them confidently. Also, he looked like having a fair amount of experience in the military forces, which meant that he survived to that point with such an unorthodox style. 

His face was slightly hidden under the hood of his white cape, though they were allowed to take it off inside that tavern if they wanted to. Certain establishments like that were an exception, especially when they were destined nearly exclusively to the Beast Hunters.
