āFor the love of all that is holy,ā Maple mumbled, rubbing her forehead. White was right: Maple wouldnāt say she has a professional demeanor, but this was something else. āLook,ā she said, casually putting a hand on each Trapās and Davinās arms, being unable to reach their shoulders. āAt the end of the day, if we have to, we can put down a vampire. So, if you want,ā she hesitated, bouncing up and down, not looking anyone in the eye. āAs long as Iām compensated, I can try and win her for it for you. That way, you two can relax and plan how to keep this from all going wrong.ā
Trap laughed maniacally at Davin. āYou don't understand! I knew you wouldn't! That's hilarious! I'm wasting my time with you! You seem not to know what loss is, you moron! You only think of counting your money at the end of the day! I've lost my wife an unborn child to them! You know nothing, hunter!ā He hold his tears back with all strength he had left. He turned towards the cage and pointed at the vampiress. āThey are all the same!ā
Suddenly calm White, lunged towards hand and grabbed him, pulling closer, his face so close she could feel his breath.
Then she started to slap him with open hand, each cheek getting redder with each hit.
āYou bloody idiot, do you think your wife would like what youāre doing?ā It was too much for her, this idiocy had to stop, and if necessary she will wake him up by force.
She stopped after a short moment, catching attention of some hunters, and some of them laughed at this situation.

"ENOUGH!" He stabbed his blade into the ground next to them, hoping this would put an end to their squabbling. "Never doubt my intentions, though I hunt for money this is all in the name of justice and to put and end to the suffering of others. As for you...." He paused for a second looking at Maple "That would be the most foolish thing you could ever do."
Trap held his cheek for a brief moment, shocked with the emotional reaction of the vampiress. She was right, she even seemed to understand him. His tears ran down his cheeks, not stopped by his will. He lowered his head, looking at the base of the cage bars. āYou're right, I'm a messā he muttered. He then turned around to Maple. āI'm sorry. Let's win this together, so we can finally be done with this.ā
She stopped after a short moment, catching attention of some hunters, and some of them laughed at this situation.
White looked at him with disbelief. She really wanted to get out of the cage and slap him, long time it would last.
āYou are an idiotā¦complete idiot that wishes well to all, yet sucks at so many levels.ā She saw him as terrible talker, and now it made sense why these two were so far away from others, though cross weirdo isā¦more annoying than the other one.
āIf he continues with his rant, I promise to kick some sense into himā¦so you want to put suffering to end, and serve justice? Stop acting like that, youāre a disgrace to what you say in this very momentā Her eyes cold, she would do everything to keep that promise, even breaking those bars.

Maple folded her arms again and gave Davin a sideways look. āSo far in my life, it probably would be, but the stiff is right,ā she said, indicating White. āYouāre both lacking in some basic level-headedness and if you donāt shape up, you wonāt be able to pull it off.ā She sighed, then addressed Trap. āSo, whatās your plan?ā
āThere are usually two tournaments during the Festival. One where the schools present themselves, and on the other day one where three hunters team up with each other and try to win the price. But I'm not sure which tournament has our midget vampire as a priceā he looked at White.
It annoyed White, being called midget all the time by him.
āIām n-not a midget you bastardā¦ā She muttered loud enough for them to hear.
She had a vague idea in which tournament she was main prize, but anyone wanting to do it would have to be nuts.
āTournament of Thousand Cutsā¦ā
OOC ā Feel free to come up with what that tournament is, or Ark or me will come up with it :)

"The one where you have to slay dozens of small monsters at once? Are you certain of that?" Davin though he never actively participates in these tournaments knew them well from being a spectator to them. His life before his gladiatorial training was of him watching these hunters in envy of their skill.
āIāve heard rumors about that one,ā Maple added, fiddling with her necklace. Her face had lost most traces of irritation and was now just deadly serious. āSomeone I used to fight with did it, and they said by the time it was over, he was in so many pieces that they could barely scrape him up into the coffin. Then again," she continued as an aside to herself, "he was an idiot."
āAh, so that's what they've planned for this year. What a coincidence. This tournament will be now easy as pieā Trap laughed. āEvery year they're asking me to prepar the field for the tournament, knowing that I don't have a team to participate. I'm going to surprise them. Also, you see, the monsters aren't actually real monsters, more like magical projections. I'm the guy that prepars what type of magical environment the Grounds are showing and I know the guy who creates the monstersā
Maple stretched, cracking her back. āMake it simple then. I donāt know about you, but I like space and as little extra nonsense as possible while Iām working.ā Well, she had wished to get back into her dueling days, and here she was, rigging one. Wouldn't her mother would be proud of her, if her mother was proud of anything she did? "But will they let you compete if you design the thing? Or are we going to have to scrounge up somebody else?"
"don't be too sure about that, I once saw a man tore to pieces by a pack of bloodthirsty gnomes. They may look small and harmless but in numbers they can overwhelm just about any foe." He lifted up a sleeve to show a scar on his forearm, a rather nasty bite left behind by the teeth of one of them.
āActually, that's a good question. But most of them don't even know how I look like, only the masters do. And even if I would end up banned, I could always give you a map for the shortcuts between areas and with useful hidden things I put in the areas. You see, every area has a magical effect, some type of barrier. You can't cross it until all monsters in this area are dead. Or use the shortcut. It's mostly a dead tree trunk very close to the barrier. And items I put here and there are usually traps designed for certain types of monsters, poisons, potions and crossbow bolts or arrows.ā It was obvious that Trap loved working with the machinery and bragging about his little surprises.
āTrap the brag masterā White chuckled, for it was fitting. He seemed to have a knack for traps, and traps, true master of traps.
The other one, mighty cross manā¦tough fighter with not so tough emotional stability, and past. Last, maybe swift and deadly female happens to have some family problems, White couldnāt find a nickname for herā¦not yet.
ā Crossie, Bragie, and who are you again? No offenseā¦ā She looked at fencer.

āFine.ā Maple jabbed her finger at Trapās chest. āBut just so you know, if it comes down to a ban, I donāt know anything about this.ā She shot White a look of some confusion and suspicion when she started talking. āNameās Maple,ā she replied, a little cagey. āAnd before you try giving me a nickname, Iāve heard them all.ā
āIf I'm not allowed to join then it'll be okay for you to use my map. The participants should be using everything they can to win the tournament, especially the environment, that's why I have to prepare the hidden places. Most of the participants however, have no idea they can use it and that these arrows they've stumbled on are there on purpose, not because someone accidentally dropped themā Trap explained calmly. He knew all the rules, he wasn't going to make them lose because of rule breaking.
Maple wanted very much to protest further. She didn't like the idea of slinking around like a weasel, but for now it seemed like the most reasonable course of action, so she kept her mouth shut about it. Plus, even if it wasn't the most honorable way to deal with it, she'd still have beaten it. It was better than anyone she knew could say. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's sign up."
āSure go on, sign in with this crazy idea, Iām sure Braggie here has no plan b if everything goes wrong, but why would you care, itās fun right?ā She asked, trying to be sarcastic.
She didnāt like it either, but no better idea existed for now.

āShut up, midget vampire. No one asked your opinion now, also, we're doing this to get you out of here.ā He looked at Maple. āI need to prepare a map for you. I guess I'll go find some parchment and a person you can use as the third team member if I'll be excluded. Also, it's getting pretty late, so I'm going to invite you for a dinner. Guess we're all a bit hungry.ā
Trap showed his new comrades the way to a tent, where his acquiatance was preparing food. He then went towards a merchant's cart, knowing that he could find his writing utensils there. A shiver ran down his spine, when he noticed some movement within his eyes range.
He shook his head. Since the moment he woke up after killing all vampires ten years earlier, he had acquired some sort of sixth sense when dealing with people with murderous intentions. He then knocked on the shield to announce his arrival to the merchant and bought parchment, an inkwell and a pen to write down everything he knew about the field.

Maple gave White a sideways look. āThatās about it, yeah.ā She bent and cracked her back again while Trap spoke. āIāll eat any meal you want as long as youāre paying, she said, swaggering toward the food tent. The stools inside were certainly made for taller people, so she had to hop to get onto one. Waving her hand to attract his attention, she ordered, telling the man serving food that it would be courtesy of āthe tall guy with the bear helmet.ā She leaned her elbows on the counter and her head on her hand.
White once again was called midget, and her so called "saviors" decided to eat something.
This binding spell was tiring, and she was hungry. Possibly they wonāt care - is what she thought, Braggie and the one who heard them all seemed to get along, but that Crossie guy seemed to be in conflict with Braggie.
Everything unsure, so unsure that White was simply tired of it, wondering what to do next ā annoy people or simply observe those who hide in shadows.
āWhat an annoying day, Iām hungry too, and people feast and enjoy all kinds of food in front of me, itās so unfairā¦ā

Maple chewed on a chunk of poultry, but it was seasoned heavily enough that she couldnāt tell precisely what it was. Still, it was quite good. Her mind wandered back to the vampire in the cage. Maple thought she seemed like trouble, with her inflammatory little remarks and condescending attitude.
She called over the server, removing her earings and passing them on as insurance that the bill would be payed. Giving a message for Davin and Trap, saying whereād sheād gone, she took up her bowl and spoon and headed back to Whiteās cage.
Maple gave White a cool once over. She certainly wasnāt a midget from the hunterās perspective, she was actually quite a bit taller than she was. She seated herself comfortably on the ground a few feet away from the cage. For a few minutes, she sat and took her time finishing her meal. When she did speak, she didnāt look at White. āWhatās your plan? And before you say anything, I know you want out: I may notāve gone to school, but Iām not a moron.ā She stirred her fork through the remains of cubed meat and vegetables. āBut what are you going to do?ā

Sudden interest from Maple woke White slightly, she blinked few times before replyingā¦
āAs you said I want to be free, beyond that Iām hungry and tired.ā
White had to say what she had in mind, or Maple wouldnāt give up ā at least thatās what White thought
.
āAbout my planā¦ when time is right Iāll just leave, simple as that for hurting any of you is simply bad for my health, in a long run.ā
She sighed.
āWith all hunters gathered in this place, only big commotion would be enough for me to make an escape. I guess you know what I mean by that, and Iām not one that will cause itā¦
White smiled, to her each hunter was a simple puppet in a grand scheme of others, only difference was that this puppet was alive - which soon may change for many, if not all.
āI pity you hunter, though at the same time I am astonished.ā With it White stopped smiling, and looking at Maple.
White looked behind Maple. Focused she was on a black haired female with seemingly glowing purple eyes, female wore simple robes and carried no weapon, at least no weapon that could be seen. Black smiled at āMidgetā yet said nothing. Shayās right shoulder marked with symbol of Endless school, school that is supposed to be gone.
She kept on smiling as she raised one hand, gesture of waving came just before Black disappeared - when one man obstructed Whiteās view Shay was simply gone.
