Chapter 150 - The Wolf and Little Red Archer (2/2)
The mirror was shot to pieces by the sniper. Shuja threw the arrow away, ”No, I don't think my arrows could reach it fast enough. They'll just dodge it once they see it a miles away.”
”Maybe I can tank the shots.”
”Your fur can't block everything, Olhos.”
”Then what are we supposed to do?” Olhos pulled the fur on his head, ”I wish Sum was here. He'd know what to do.”
”You act like you weren't one of the best hunters in the tribe.”
”Well, I wasn't. I can track an animal and shoot an arrow to kill it, but anything else is too much for me. There were times when I became the prey, and I could never dig myself out of those situations. It was Sum that dug me out of the hole. The best I could do was to just follow orders. I don't have the power to think of a way out of this mess.”
”You talk about Sum too much. And rely on him too much, too.” She turned to Olhos, ”Remember when that juvenile troll attacked us. Cala and his d.i.c.k-suckers ran away while everyone was getting crushed under their destroyed homes. But you stayed and fought.”
”What?”
”Yeah, I saw you! You stayed and helped beat the troll. Why do you think Sun wanted you to stay? You're a good man and even better hunter.”
”More like a monster” Olhos' stared at his paw.
”And that's what makes you the best hunter!”
Suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared in front of them. And walking out of the light was Dawn, ”You tell him, girl!”
”Dawn!” Shuja clapped her cheeks. ”What are you doing here?”
”Dawn! That's Dawn!” Olhos was even more shocked than Shuja. Dawn's cherry blond hair brought life in the middle of the dark empty river bed. She had an hourglass figure, but with a visible muscular physique. The soft consort of the Chief became a beautiful hardened woman.
”What's wrong Olhos? Is my transformation more unbelievable than your own?”
Shuja grabbed her by the shoulders, ”Why did you come here, how did you come here, and what happened to your hair? It used to have a nice goldish color, but now it's almost like redhead's hair color.”
”Calm down, I just dyed it a bit. Also, I used this,” Dawn showed them a small gemstone wrapped by a metallic ring. ”It's a nucleus that Pagasa lend it to me. It's programmed to let me teleport wherever I need to go.”
”And why come here? I can take care of that marksman easily,” Shuja said with a smug look.
”You can?” Olhos asked in amazement. Then another shot was heard and the sound of the bullet's ricochet startle Shuja.
”I sure you can Shuja,” Dawn smiled. ”But I also came here because Pagasa sensed something was wrong after Mari collapsed. So he teleported here and I tagged along. And we found him.”
”Mari collapsed?”
”Yes and when we got here, we found Sun's dying body.”
”What?” Shuja and Olhos yelled.
