Johnny
*The bounty hunters readied their swords as they circled around Segi like a pack of wolves. Analyzing him and probing for any weakness or blind spots.*
William
*He held his head low, his feet sliding the loose, damp leaves aside as his stance widened. He held one arm slightly behind the other as they raised up. He kept a mental note of where the hunters were in his mind, his brow still low on his eyes as they darted from side to side.*
**"Watch my cloak, I need to put that on once I'm done with you all."**
*He said, blinking absently as his eyes continued to weave between the figures in his sight.*
Johnny
*The bounty hunters began laughing at him. Before one of them chimes in.* "Friend, you have a lot more to worry about that your previous cloak." *A sixth bounty hunter was leaning against a tree behind Segi watching from the shadows.*
William
*He smirks, the dying light barely illuminating his increased face. He lifted his head slightly, placing a hand palm out beside his hip, the hand of the other arm facing palm up. He slowly closed his fingers halfway, flicking his index finger quickly as though to say, 'come on, then.'*
Johnny
*In typical pack fashion one of the bounty hunters prepared to impale Segi from behind, while two went for his legs at the same time, meanwhile the two in front prepared to attack. One in front of him feinted to attack while the other one went for a downward slash at Segi's sword arm.*
William
*He widened his eyes, his head rising as he stepped forward, his forward hand closing and coating in blue, water-like mana as he threw the punch forward. As the man to the side dropped his blade, Seigi used his off-hand to strike the flat of the blade with the back of his hand, redirecting it and, quite possible, causing the swordsman to stumble forward into the one trying to attack Seigi from behind.* 

*As he pulled back from the punch he threw at the one in front of him, he noticed the two coming at his legs. He took a leap into the air, his legs splitting and extending, moving toward their heads at dangerous speeds.*
Johnny
*The bounty Hunter that Segi redirected him towards the one behind him impaled his fellow hunter in the heart leaving the dying hunter a few minutes to live as his brain keeps him alive for a short time. The two that went for his sides were kicked in the heads sending them flying backwards and knocked unconscious. Leaving one able bounty hunter left in front of Segi as all he could to do is stare at Segi as he saw his group get taken out by a single person.* 

"That's enough." *This was said by the bounty hunter leaning against the tree as he slowly stepped toward Segi.*
William
*He exhaled quickly as the people around him fell. He straightened his stance and set his feet, water-like mana flowing around his hands and arms, looking like a rushing waterfall, the visuals of which seemed to be out of illustration, as though it were a moving painting. His hands were visible through the living mana, as he raised his palm, flicking his hand back at the shadowed man.*

*Though, he did note. He had taken out five, though the sixth was unaccounted for. The elven man in the bright robes was nowhere to be seen. However, the one leaning against the tree didn't seem fazed by his entire posse getting eliminated before his eyes.. He was the more pressing matter as of now.*
David
*The hunter that was stepping towards him was a veteran at his line of work, with the scorch marks on his armor, Segi could tell this man has fought dragons and was a professional in this line of work. He spoke with a rough British accent.* "Well, you're a quick one I'll give you that." *He looks down at the 5 bounty hunters in disgust.* "I have a... Proposition for you."
William
*He watched the man step forward, his scored armor glimmering the setting sun on the few clear spots it had. He didn't move, his expression hardening as the ends of his brow dropped, creating a thin crease above his nose.*
**"What do you want."**
*He demanded, practically scoffing the words.*
David
"You are obviously well gifted in combat, have you ever thought about putting your skills to use for coin? A man of your talents would fit right in the bounty hunting business."
William
*He clicked his tongue, his eyes narrowing as his head raised once again. Erdthand could see his tangerine eyes, which burned like the setting sun behind them. His eyes sent chills down the hunter's spine, he shook his head.*
**"I won't come with you. I have goals of my own."**
*He thought for a moment, realizing the territory they were surrounded by.*
**"You are deep in Elven woods, Hunter. Do you work with the elven guild?"**
*He said, tilting his head ever so slightly.*
David
*The man laughed* "You've got quite the look in your eyes of a cold blooded killer. If I were in my early years of this career then I probably would be intimidated. But, I've killed dragons. 
I do not work with any guild, I'm just a person people higher to do jobs hardly anyone wants to do themselves. Which gives me a little bit of freedom. You give me something that proves that I did the deed to my employers then, we both part ways and never see each other again. What say you? Since, you obviously do not want to be in my line of work."
William
*'don't work for a guild'... The words rolled through his mind like a bowling ball. Seigi understood what that could be, a private contractor wanted him dead.*
**"So then, who do you work for?"**
*He asked as he slowly lowered his hands, the illustration-like blue water disappearing quickly. He knew that information was expensive, not free...*
**"Answer me that and perhaps we could come to a deal."**
David
"Afraid I can't do that mate. Client confidentiality and all that, unless you can make it worth my while of course."
William
*He shook his head, his loose cloth wrappings shifting as he subtly moved, resting most of his weight onto his one leg.*
**"What's worth your while, then?"**
*He poised, his head tilting. The thought of that robed elf was still in his mind, so he hadn't let his guard down yet.*
David
*The hunter stroked his armored faceplate out of habit when he is in thought. Indicating a beard was underneath the helmet.* "I need you to undergo a dangerous mission for me and I think this may help the both of us."
William
**"And what's that?"**
*He said, smoothing back a lock of unruly hair which refused to fall into the ranks of the innumerable strands of glistening platinum hair.*
David
"There are rumors that a demon lord has appeared with hundreds of thousands under his command. Sounds like the type of person who has a lot of riches. I wouldn't mind working for him. In exchange I'll tell you who hired me."
William
**"...Hm..."**
*The presence of a demon lord... Just the mere sound of it seemed familiar. He thought for a moment, resting his left hand on the pommel of his expertly crafted blade. He nodded.*
**"So, then, what do you want me to do about the demon lord?"**
*He questioned. Of course, he couldn't do anything as of now, he had much more... Pressing matters to attend to.*
David
"Oh it's simple really. I need you to go over to where the sky has grown... Ominous... And confirm wether or not this demon lord actually exists... And make it back here... Alive... To tell me the tale."
William
*He nodded, stroking his chin with his off hand. The two strands of hair on the sides of his forehead shifted as he tilted his head. He let out a small 'hmm...'*
**"I wouldn't be able to. I am on my own quest currently— one of great urgency and importance..."**

*He gave it a second thought, before adding:*
**"...And confidentiality."**
David
*The hunter had amused look on his face.* "Oh, I see how it is then. Well, I suppose that quest doesn't have to do with the one who hired me so, I'll be on my way." *The hunter slowly starts to walk off.*
William
*He closed his eyes for a moment, nodding. As Erdthand exited scene, he began walking on to the elven kingdom.*
