A Hunter Is Leaving

War is Life in the Great Tree village, Zune. Casualties is to be expected as battles break out almost everyday against the opposing village Fon. Monsters roam this world leaving very little civilized lands. While this war against the two villages has been raging for hundreds of years. Every boy is raised for that purpose. Given no name and taken from their Nurturer at the age 8, and trained until they are 13. Once they have completed this they go through “The Naming” Ceremony. Which names and titles are given too them, as they are added to the ranks of the army. Hunter is an elite title given too the most loyal and talented men in the village. They work in small groups spending most of the time outside of the village and camps. They specialize in recon, tracking, trapping, and killing monsters. At least that’s what The Officials will say. This world called Noon has so much to offer if it wasn’t for the other village. War propaganda is spread across the village. Everyone must do their part to keep their way of life safe. But is this way the right way? Classism, sexism, deceit, corruption, all within the reasoning of The Officials.

Roars and stomps shake the ground. Their voices rang out with unrestrained enthusiasm, reverberating through the air as they stomped their feet in exhilaration. The duel that had just unfolded for the coveted rank of the next squad captain had captivated their attention and ignited their spirits.

The two warriors now stands in front of an Officer looking over their structure. "I approve of Soldier Zeek promotion to Squad Captain!" The Officer leans towards Captain Zeek. "Give some words to the men, let them know what it takes to become, Captain." Leaning back the Officer kept a light gaze on the new Captain, smiling, curious of what this maniac will say.

Zeek turning towards the group, slowed down his breathing. He stares seeing all the faces of those he inspired from just his fight alone.

"DANGEROUS! YOU MUST BE DANGEROUS! IF THEY ARE NOT YOUR BROTHER THEY SHOULD FEAR YOU! YOUR ENEMIES ARE NOW OUR ENEMIES!

Devilish grins appears from the faces of Masters as those words roared into the clouds, followed by the cheers of new men shaking the ground with a blast of pride. The new soldiers didn't know why they was cheering. Probably because the man next to them was yelling. War cries have a way of enticing those on the same side, forcing uniformity within the ranks, burning a fire of hope and courage.

"Official Lord Zac!" A soldier runs into the opening yelling about urgent news. The Official stepped away from the group for a moment. Official Rodow continues the ceremony.

"I'll be short, since everyone here is choosing to become soldiers, which gives us faith that this village will be left in great hands, with that you all deserve this special privilege, the ones you grew with in the huts will make 5 man squads. You will be assigned a Squad Leader completing the squad. We believe this will only strengthen our village. Now let's see what captains pick who. If your squad is not chosen by a captain then your squad will join the open ranks. Now. let's see where your squad ranks."
