Hunted or Hunter
"Where did he go?"
As Kayden prepared for a surprise attack, a voice echoed through the trees, reaching his ears.
"Keep looking, he can't have gone too far," said another voice, which seemed to belong to a woman.
Kayden's grip tightened around the dagger he had pulled from his belt, the glinting blade catching the sunlight. His eyes narrowed, a fierce determination filling his gaze as he focused on his approaching enemies.
"But seriously, why do we have to chase him? Can't we just wait until he returns to the town?" The first voice questioned in a slightly annoyed tone. "After all, he will eventually be forced to return to the town."
"Guild orders," the other voice replied flatly, without showing a hint of emotion.
It was then that Kayden tensed his whole muscles while firmly gripping the dagger, and finally attacked, aiming for the person that was complaining about having to chase him into the forest.
