*****

Sophia and her brother samien were age 17 and 14 when their dad died, their father zathrion was a great animal Hunter of the city (Hernad cty). in the hunting game; one of their greatest rule was to be weary of wolf/lycan and never get them killed or injured for their

own safety as this creatures are very deadliest to mess with.

"dad are you going hunting this night..??.. samien asked his dad while focusing on the television at the same time.

"yes I am.. why?"

"can't you just skip this night, or better still quit this job dad.?? it freaky make someone restless " samien said this time facing his dad.

"yes Dad".. Sophia followed

"NO. there is no way I will ever quit my job" their father replied resolutely.

"pls honey listen to the children".. Elizabeth pleaded.

"Elizabeth we've already had this conversation so many times and you knows what the answer is".. he faced his wife

"alright.. atleast skip this night for us please, I beg you honey, I really don't want to be alone today, please..??"..Elizabeth goes on, the children were now just watching maybe their mum would be able to persuade their dad.

"if it was any other night, I would have skip for you love.. but this night we are competing and if I should win in the competition I will be promoted to the leader of the hunting game; you know the hunting leader doesn't go hunting, then I will spend all the time in the world with my God Gift family".. zathrion calmly explained to his wife.

with a downcast expression she said to him "alright love just be careful for us"

"my angels, the day is coming when I will stay with you guys for as long as you like. just let me win this competition".. he said to Sophia and samien

"alright dad, just be safe".. samien replied and Sophia just nodded her head

"Alright you both come hug dad" they all hugged. their mum Elizabeth also joined. they later went to bed and he left silently that night.
