The Hunted Chapter 5

After the Hunter disappeared, Fantasy and the Black Ninja spent the next several hours looking for him. Not finding a thing, the returned to the Pit, where they found Mac and the Traveler busy treating the stranger’s wounds.

“He took quite a beating, but he'll survive.” Mac said, taking a break to see how the search went. He turned to Fantasy. “You could help by doing that healing thing lick you did with Duke.”

“I’ll try. Any idea who he is?”

“Nope. Only thing he had with him was an amulet and this bow.”

“That doesn't help much.”

“Rick! You better see this!”

Both men walked over to where Duke was standing, watching a news report.

“Sad news to day in the island nation of Gennora. Samuel Crusher, the president of Gennora, has died of natural causes. Officials say that he died of a heart attack at approximately 9:15 last night. The funeral will be on Friday.” Dan Jennings paused as he was handed a piece of paper. “We have just received word that there is more tragic news from Gennora. We go now to the network affiliate in Gennora, Zelda Quinn.”

The camera switched to a scene of panic. Zelda Quinn stood in front of the chaos, a professional calm keeping her from joining the crowd.

“I am standing at the steps leading to the capital of the country of Gennora where, just moments ago, tragedy struck. The vice president, Jeffery Black was assassinated during his televised inauguration. The assassin is described as a person dressed in black armor, about 7 feet tall. He is armored and extremely dangerous.”



Duke looked up at the others. “Sound like anyone we know?”

“The Hunter.”

He nodded his head. “I have a plane on stand by at the airport. Let’s go.”
