[SBLOCK=Background]Ankara was hiding in a bush. He stares at the deer. He had his small bow with him. Aksaray, his father was sneaking on the other side. Ankara was eager to have his first prey, so he took an arrow and ready his bow. But he hasn't been enough cautious, and his elbow touch a branch of the bush where he was hiding. The sound was perceived by the deer, and it took only a moment before the animal decide to leave. Ankara let his arrow fly without success, but then the animal falled and it stay lifelessly on the ground. Ankara get out of his hiding place and approach teh animal. A large arrow had hit the eye of teh animal on the opposite side.
"You have not listen to me" told his father, who was coming, his large bow in hand. "Don't be in such hurry." Ankara stared at the ground, ashamed. "Every kids do it at least once. I didn't more than that. Just be patient, learn to wait for the good moment. But for now, let's take the prey. But before, thanks Balinor and the spirit of the creature. You must always respect every living creature, may they be your pray, your friend or your enemy. This deer have given his life for us. Every part of his body can be use, so do not let waste it. His spirit has no more use of the body or any material things, they are yours to take profit of it, but you must not take anything for pleasure or for avidity."
"But the demon you hunt, you kill them and burn there corpse." replies the young Ankara.
"And I still repsect that. Demon want to destroy this lands. I don't kill them out of pleasure, not to make fortune or by pure sadism. I kill them because if I don't do it, tey will kill our lands. The sons of Khyber only want to rule this world and have no respect for life, not even between themsleves."
~~~~~
Ankara was at the side of his father. They were on the trace of an imp. Two other hunter were at there sides. The creature is sneaky and a weak member of his kind, but he must still be approach with caution, he is dangerous. It is Ankara who spot him. The creature was looking over a dolmen of the Gatekeeper. A place of power. That's what he was seeking. Why? To destroy it? To corrupt it? He didn't knew but one thing was sure, that creature wouldn't like to be seen, and would likely kill any witness. His father and the two others hunter hide themsleves. Ankara show himself weaponless. The imp spoted him. The creature, has expected, charge the young shifter. Ankara fake to flee and fumble in his escape. He turns around, as if he was scared. The imp never saw the trap. Three arrow flight at him, but only one touch him. his father markksmenship was reknown, but the other two hunters wasn't his equal. Ankara had no choice but to fight him before he escape. His skin became orange with stripe, and very thick. His fang grew enough to become a lethal weapon. He jump on it. Knowing his weak point, he bite him near the neck. The kill was instant. He had just killed his first demon.
~~~~~
Aksaray was leading the group. Officialy this group was sent by the local lord to see what has happen lately near the ruins of an old tower that lay in a virgin forest inside the lord's land. The lord's hunter has been dissapearing in this part of the forest. The Gatekeepers knew the origin of the tower. And knew what was dormant in it. Some evil have been made prisonner there. What kind? The Gatekeepers hadn't spoken about it. At the first sign the evil was awake, the had to be warn. And thus the small group was investigating the forest. It didn't took time to find the reason of dissapearance. The ten hunter corpse was hanged by the feet to trees. They had been skinned. The odor of death was floating in the air. A few dretch was feasting on one of the hunters. The group tried to retreat before they were spotted, but two dretch surprise the group from behind. It took a moment only that the group of Aksaray was figthing one against two for there life. The dretch had summoned more of there kind. Luckily, the group was used to fight them. There had been some wounded, but no one killed once they get rid of the dretch.
"Dretch, Imp, Quasit... it's start to be boring all these small creature. I would rather find something that really mean a threat." tells Jamira. He was part of tne group, and always has been reckless.
"You should be happy to only meet them. You are far from ready to meet more powerfull." replied Aksaray.
"If these creature were there, it's mean that the evil who was locked in the tower is now awake. I suppose it is still bound of his prison, but can now summon these minion to his aid. We must warn the elder, so they can put to sleep the evil again if they can't banish it for good." suggest Yoral, the apprentice druid of the group.
Aksaray nods. "Ankara. You'll deliver the message to the elders. You should be able to go to the meeting point and come back with the in one week. During that time, we will make sure nothing enter or leave that forest."
Ankara didn't liked the idea of playing the errant while the others would do more concreate things. But being the youngest of the group, he couldn't discuss the order of the leader, even less of his own father. He simply nod and then travel back to the lord's domain, where he took an horse and left the region to meet the elder. Three days of travel and he was in front of an elder, Jarami. He always has been impress by these powerfull druids and there great power.
~~~~~
Ankara was back in the Eldeen Reach. He was burrying his father, or at least what remain of it. He had only found the skeltton. He had been skinned alived and then eaten by these demons. The remains had been left. The only way he had identified the bones was his father's bow had been left next to the remains. All the other of the group had been burned or skin, but there body could still be identified. The tower had been put to ruins and the evil had escaped during Ankara's absence. All his group had be killed. Jamari sent a summon to other elders and they tracked the evil during a whole week before finding his new hiding place. The evil had been contained again.
But that had cost the life of his father. His father's wish was to be return to the lands he had grown, so Ankara brought back the remains of his father. Jarami was behind him.
"It is your fault." tells Ankara to the elder. "You've sent us against an opponent you knew we couldn't fight. You sent us to our death. Leave this place, you and the Gatekeeper are no more welcome."
"I'll go, but don't forget, your father died on a cause he was beleiving in. We never force anyone to do something, he agree to do this task with his group." The elder left without one more word.
~~~~~
Ankara was hunting in the forest. A few worg was decimating the games of the forest. He had already killed two, but the last one was still out there. He finally found his lair, so he was awaiting the creature. The fiendish wolf finally came back with another deer. It never smelled Ankara, who has place himself face to the small breeze that was blowing. The wolf entered the lair. He was trap. Ankara didn't wait any more time, and got out of his hiding place and Enter the lair. The wolf saw him and knew he was trap, but he wasn't scared. That creature must had killed more than one humanoid. The combat that followed was quick. Ankara's axe quickly split the wolf's skull in two. But even once the creature was death, he hack the beast a few time.
"You should learn to contain your emotion."
"I told you your were not welcome here." shouts Ankara
"You are outside your land, in the forest of the Gatekeeper. If you don't want to see us, don't come here. I've never bother you on your territory." replied Jamari, calmly. Ankara stay mute for a time, igoring the elder presence.
"That worg was doing nothing wrong for the moment. They have been hunting a lot, but not enough to unbalance the life in this forest. Don't hide behind false cause. The emotion you have are normal, but you don't handle them as you should. You are not responsible of your father's death, you could have done nothing to save him."
"You are the one who killed my father!" shouts Ankara. He quickly turns around, swinging his large axe who fly in the air, but the heavy weapon clumsly lands at the elder feets.
"You can hear the lie in your own words. You know it pretty well. You could haven't done nothing. Your father knew teh danger of his task, and he accepted it. You must accept that your father died for a cause he thought as right. He died for his belief. I don't tell you to have the same belief than your father, but accept it as it is, and channel your emotion in a cause you think worthy of." Jamari stared a moment at Ankara, who could look at the elder in the eyes. The truth he had told him was too heavy, too painfull. The elder transformed into a small cardinal and left the young shifter alone.
~~~~~
The letter came to him. He read it. What that man wanted? He couldn't tell. The letter had been place in front of his door. Who had place it there? Was it really for him or for his father? The words of Jamari's rang into his ears. Channel your emotion in a cause you think worthy of. Maybe he was right. Staying here hadn't been good for him up to now. This place araise too much memory in Ankara's head. He looked at the meeting place and the time. It was short, but he could make it in time if he hurry. He took the few possession and open the door to leave. He stayed a moment there, and his eyes came back inside the house. His father's bow was on the wall. His spirit has no more use of the body or any material things, they are yours to take profit of it had told his father once. His father would never need that bow again, but he could use it, it might come usefull. He finally took teh bow and left to meet that Sargessean.
