After the death of George and Maria Callistar, their only child, Edward Callistar, was sent to an unfit orphanage, where he grew up with various forms of discrimination due to his parents'alleged murder to the old king of The kingdom of Dawnspire..Unable to bear it any longer, Edward decided to run away from the orphanage at the age of 15.
The boy fled into the wilderness, where he was forced to survive by practicing his magic at every opportunity and hunting monsters known as "Creatures." Everything he owned was stolen and whenever people saw him, they felt disgusted because of his appearance and status as a Callistar..until one day
2 YEARS LATER
One cold night, Edward was lying in his tent. He stared at the sky above his stolen tent, imagining a better life than the one he was living now. He rested his hands on his chest and crossed his legs.
Then suddenly, he heard a faint sound from behind the tent.
"Ah, it's just the creatures,"
he thought calmly, until the faint sound grew louder. It sounded like... a human whistle,afraid that the Royal Knights would discover him, Edward immediately grabbed his machete, intending to hunt down whatever was outside his tent,He slowly and quietly gets out, extinguished his campfire, and walked toward the back of the tent,Slowly the boy appoarch the bush and...
"Huh,no one's here.."
"Really?"
"AH!"
A man's voice sounded behind him, causing Edward to panic and quickly swing his machete toward the man's neck.
THAAAAASHH
The mysterious figure managed to catch Machete Edward and quickly snatched it away. Panicked, Edward slowly backed away while pointing both hands at the mysterious figure, preparing to fight.
"I don't wanna fight." The figure throws the machete at the floor 2 inch from Edward..
"But if you wanna fight..then pick it up."
The figure respond in a cold tone,He wears an gray Venetian masks,Completly hides his face and he was wearing a darkish blue cloak,Edward hesitates to grab the machete..after sensing the mysterious figure's dangerous aura
"What do you want?" Edward respond while keeping distance with the figure,Edward points the both of his hand right on the Figure's mask
"I just wanna talk to you,nothing else.."
The mysterious figure replies with a soft tone,the mysterious figure slowly appoarching the log of wood and sit on it followed by Edward.
"Who are you?"
Edward asks with curiosity while still keeping distance between his and the figure,the figure crossed his legs and glanced toward Edward's stolen tent
"You live in that tent?" The figure asks with curiosity as his index finger points at the dirty orange tent.
"Just get to the point already!"
Edward yells at the figures filled with curiosity,the figure sighs..slowly he shifted his gaze towards Edward with a cold look.
"..First,you can call me "Guide" "
Edward stared at the "Guide" in confusion. He scratched his head slowly, bewildered.
"Guide?"
"Yes,from now on i will be your Guide"
"Huh? i don't even know you!"
"(Sighs),look kid.." The Guide takes out a paper from his pocket then he handed it to Edward.
"Nightfall..syndicate?,What's that?" Edward asks unfamilliar with the expression across his face.
"A syndicate,their goal is to control the four kingdoms within their grasp. They already control the entertainment industry and markets in the four kingdoms: the Kingdom of Dawnspire, the Kingdom of Silvercrest, the Kingdom of Aurora, and the Kingdom of Celestian."
The guide explained with a clear tone as he writes something on the ground with his index finger
"7 Child of..death"
Edward reads the word the guide writes on the gravelly sandy ground.
"It's the 7 Higher ups of Nightfall Syndicate. their chairman known as "The Father" And "The Mother" "
The guide replies with explanation
"So,what's that have to do with me?" Edward replies as he leans closer to the guide for an explanation
The guide takes a deep breath before explaining
"Currently, four kingdoms on Lumora Island are forming a special faction to destroy The Nightfall syndicate, debuting as "The Hunters". I want you to join the hunters."
Edward's eyes widen filled with confusion mixed with shocked.
"Huh?, why me? " Edward asks with curiosity
"You have the potential..you can control you magic alone and hunted 7 A ranked Creature at the same time..that's really talented.. "
"Your magic will be useful for the hunters.. "
The guide replies to Edward while slowly gets closer to the boy. "So,what do you think? "
Edward looks at the Guide and let out a smile chuckle..
"It's sound good and all but..."
Edward sighs "After you people did to me and my family,you still think I will protect this world? Why would I? "
The forest filled with silence,the look at the guide's eyes turn into empathy he stares at the eyes of the broken boy.
"Tell me,Guide..what's the reason to protect something that's gonna hurt me? "
The guide silenced as Edward Pat him at the shoulder.
"Good luck about this Hunter thing and all..i don't wanna get involved." Edwards rises from his seat,he grabbed his machete and walks towards his tent
"John Doe is one of the 7 Child of death"
Edward stopped,he shifted his gaze to the Guide with hatred in his eyes.
"The murderer of your parents..is one of the Seven child of death..If you join the Hunters..you can take your revenge and obtained back your family honour.."
Now,Edward silenced..he is in a dilemma between A peaceful life in the wilderness or Avenge his Parents..
"..im in,but I'm doing this for my parents. "
The Guide rises from his seat,he appoarch the boy and extend his hand for an handshake,which edward accept and shakes his hand firmly..
"So,what now? " The boy asks while let go of the handshake
"We need a Citizenship if you wanna register to the Hunters..but first,Let's make you handsome first,you look like a lunatic in that hair"
The Guide summon a new darkish red cloak for Edward and toss it to Edward
"Hey,should i take my things with me? "
"No,you wouldn't need that thing anyway"
Edward equips the Red cloak with a star symbol at the back of the cloak.
"Follow me. "
The guide walked out of the hut and the wilderness, followed by Edward, who was determined to reclaim his family's honour and seek revenge.
