I work alone
¿? ¿? ¿?: Run Egil! - A man of about 50 yelled to a boy of about thirteen - I will try to make time, you just run away - he said seeing his scared friend and apprentice - I know you are afraid but you must be strong, for that I prepare you
Egil: B-but ... if I leave you here you ..... you will die -said the boy seeing his friend and teacher on guard with his Katana surrounded by beasts
¿? ¿? ¿?: We both knew that this day would come, do not expect it to be so soon, but it is what it is - he said to give a smile to his apprentice - run!, run as fast as you can! - he yelled at the boy who seemed not to want to leave
Egil: o-okay, but ... promise me you'll finish my training again! - the boy shouted with tears in his eyes
¿? ¿? ¿?: I can't promise you that, run north, go to Yagarozou, find a place to stay in that town, don't forget, be careful who you trust, follow your instinct - he said turning to see the boy with a smile - go!
Egil hearing that ran north towards Yagarozou.
Egil: Mmm .... please .... grandfather ... come back - said a sleeping Egil
the sun's rays began to peek through his window, hitting him squarely in the face, causing him to wake up
Egil: * sigh * it was just a dream ... shit felt so real - he said to himself since he lived alone - it's been five years since Björn left and he still can't get over his death - he said something sad remembering the old master that he had who I consider his own grandfather - I need to distract myself - he said and got out of bed.
Egil got into his bathroom and proceeded to bathe and brush his teeth, after about fifteen minutes the boy left the bathroom, had breakfast, took his equipment, his katanas and went to look for some work, since he was short of money.
Egil walked to "The weekly table", it was a large wooden rectangle that was full of Beast hunting posters, when he arrived he read all of them and went for the best paid job, he took out that poster and went to look for the beast of he.
On the other hand, a group of Hunters saw him walk away with that poster. The group of Hunters approached the table and noticed that the most dangerous job had been taken, one of the members somewhat astonished told their leader Kandan
Jay: This guy is crazy, don't you think so Kan?
Kandan: That's right my friend, come on guys let's look for another job to do-he said to his group and then choose a beast to hunt and go looking for it.
Egil was setting the last of his traps to hunt that beast that no one had wanted to face, he sat on the branches of a tree and there he patiently prepared to wait for his beast, after about twenty minutes appeared, that beast that Egil was searching. The beast was going straight to the trap that the boy had set, when he was about to fall out of nowhere another smaller beast came out fleeing from the same group of Hunters that had seen Egil take the poster, when those Hunters saw the great beast They were scared, all except one, their leader took out his ax and prepared to face the great beast, even if he did not come out victorious in that fight, he could give his friends time to flee the place and be safe, the beast seeing The man standing in front ran towards him mowed by hunger, it was quite fast, and Kandan did not have time to react and from one moment to another the beast had the man's arm in its mouth, dragging him towards his cave, while the The man screamed in pain, his team was immobile, watching the scene in terror, Egil was waiting for the perfect moment to attack and kill that beast with a single blow, but when he noticed that the man was willing to cut his arm with the ax, he had to ue to act immediately. He jumped down from that tree and unsheathed his two katanas, with his katana on the left side he stopped that ax that the man was about to strike and with his right katana he pierced the head of the beast, from the ear to the brain, all Those present were amazed by the precision, strength and speed of that boy, Kandan took his somewhat injured arm from the beast's mouth and with a smile said to his savior:
Kandan: thank you very much, if it weren't for you, I'd already be in the stomach of this stupid thing-he said stretching out his hand to shake the boy's hand
Egil: I had to kill her anyway, don't thank me-he said serious and cold, sheathing one of his katanas
Kandan: I know, but you also saved my life is the least I can do -he said even with a smile -by the way, I'm Kandan, you can tell me kan or whatever you prefer
Egil: I am Egil, now ... could you go? I like to be alone-he said and then began to cut off the head of the beast he had just killed
Kandan: Okay, if one day you want to be part of a team, don't hesitate to look for us-he said turning his back on him, walking towards his teammates
Egil: the teams are only a hindrance, I'm much better alone-he said pocketing the head that he had cut off
Kandan stopped in his tracks and drew his ax upon hearing that boy's words, but before he could attack him, he already had a katana at his neck
Egil: if you don't sheathe your ax and leave, I'll kill you and your companions, 'he said, looking into his eyes with a murderous look.
Kandan: I like you boy-he said with a smile-the team is serious, if one day you want to do something together, do not hesitate to look for us
he said sheathing his ax and walking towards his companions
Egil: I already told you that I work alone-he said to also holster his weapon, take the sack with the head of the beast and leave the place.
