Looks can be Deceiving

The man with the saber had a silk coat on his body and insane killing intent radiated off of him. Slashing his arm forward, Xen tried to reach forward and grab the blade.... His heart ached as the blade went straight through his hand and approached his best friend's head.

"Noooo!" Xen struggled to keep the blade in his hand, but it pierced through the ligaments, and into his straining shoulder bone... Turning in the air, the blade stopped approaching his friend's head and instead dived deeper into his shoulder.

The ancient striped beast immediately saw his friend Xen's eyes grow big as blood spread onto its lackluster white coat... Its pupils dilated like a father about to try and protect its cub, and it turned with its tail sending a powerful attack outward.

"Sorry... your friend is worth more than you, kitty. If you back off, I will give you a burrito..."

"RRRRRR!"

"Oh... you love this one like a family member, right? You sure you don't want a burrito?"

The hunter tried to proposition the tiger by throwing the two burritos. It skirted near the beasts foot as it twisted on the floor. Slowly moving forward, the beast started glowing white instead of red.

"Oh, I see.... that's the 10,000 year blessing... You've been lying to your friend haha?"

"Very well, however, are you sure you don't want the burritos? Your choice to die, or eat a burrito... I would choose eat a burrito, no?"

The man slammed Xen down into the ground causing him to screen in agony. Looking like a kabob ready to be roasted, his tragic state caused the beast to run forward in panic. It clumsily swung with a flury of paw attacks. Each attack seemed to get faster and faster causing the man to feel shocked and surprised...

"Wow, so impressive! Kitty! You're going to scratch me if you keep this up!" Flipping backwards, the man dodged a few more well placed swipe attacks. Turning faster and faster, the beast's arms seemed to be growing more deadly and terrifying. Sweat trinkled down the hunters head as he looked at Xen slowly worming his way off of the spear.

"Ugh, you ruined it kitty! I made you a burrito, and this is how you pay me back? THOSE BURRITOS TASTE SO GOOD! HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY BREAKFAST BY ATTACKING ME!"

"You are going to pay for those burritos with your life! If only you just stopped attacking me!"

The invader to the ancient stripped beasts territory elegantly dodged the attacks. Swiping faster and faster, though, the striped beast didn't relent, and it kept growling and roaring. However, the red tint on its fur started to dim as the blessing it was using wore off...

"Oh hoh... that is really quite a skill! Your speed increased by at least three times! What are you going to do now?"

"Wait, where did your little friend go? Xen? Your not supposed to live today!"

"Shut up you dick! I decide who lives and who dies!"

Booom!

Xen's hand traveled forward and spirialed towards the man as the bushes in the territory once again stirred. The man's shocked face seeing a blessing contract on a man's skin caused him to jump back. Twisting away from Xen's attacks, real sweat spread down his body and drizzled onto the floor.

"No way! They were right! You aren't human haha!"

"Die!"

Xen's body went from a red to gold blessing shocking the man further still. Like a bullet out of a chamber, he struck like a tiger going for the kill. The man, without time, couldn't activate any of his stored skills. A blistering pain entered into his gut as a burrito fell out of his pocket...

"You... you can't be that special... A gold blessing on a puny runt that hasn't graduated yet... You can't be more than 100,000 years old..."

"Looks can be deceiving, asshole... Here, I'd like to give you your spear back..."

Patok!

Xen stabbed the man in the head as blood coated his silk suit. Fading into nothingness, the man's eyes began to frost as he tried to process the unbelievable sight... He had hoped to sell the boy on the market because of rumors about his heritage. The most famous boy in existence, the one birthed from the final battle, truly was this boy.

"i... I just wanted to give your friend here, burritos... Please, please let me heal!"

Xen sighed and took the necklace off the mans neck as he tried to bite down into it... "Sorry, but this is my friend's territory, and he's very hungry... isn't that right, Ronan?"

The Ancient Striped beast nodded its head, and then licked Xen's shoulder.

Happiness then filled its eyes as the Hunter screamed...

"No, I don't want to die! I fed you! I fe-d AAHHHH!"

Ignoring the crunching sounds that followed, Xen limped out of the forest as blood dripped down his body... In a few moments, he made it to the street and noticed a girl sitting on a bench... He couldn't help but smile and her and then fall over...

"Oh my god! What happened to you, are you alright?"

The girl stopped drinking her coffee, and launched herself towards the puddle of blood beneath Xen. Swiping away his hair, she tore the seams on her jacket. She quickly wrapped up his arm as the pallid Xen laid on her rest....

"I already called for help. Don't make any uneccessary movements okay?"
