Xavier, the Huntsman

Lore

Xavier wash ashore of the shadow isles after his boat drifted into a jagged low water cove and sank. A young girl happened up on his lifeless body. She used her voodoo like magic to give him life again. She skipped along the shore with a huge stitched up monstrosity following her this was the last thing he noticed before blacking out again. 2 days later He awoke in a makeshift hut made of the twisted wood that littered the island. He sat up to see the little girl building a fire, but that wasn't what startled him, it was how. She was shooting flames from her hands setting the drift wood ablaze. He stumble around gathered his belongings and tried to sneak away while she had her back turned. As he began to run down the shore a wall of fire shot up in front of him. He turned swiftly and bumped head first into a plush like chest of a giant teddy bear with glowing eyes leering at him. "Tibbers, back up give him some room." she giggled as her bear stepped aside allowing the young sorceress to side in the line of view. "You don't wanna go that way. it's very dangerous this time of day. You can either follow me and tibbers here back to mainland or at least until you heal up and then go on your way. but either way you aren't going alone until you heal up."

"Listen little girl, i don't know who you are but i'm fine." He started dressing in his armor when felt a very sharp pain shoot through his right side from his hip to his rib cage. He look down and pulled away the bandages to discover he had been seriously injured when his boat crashed into the reef. he feel to his knees in shock.

"Yeah, you were hurt pretty bad. Good thing the piece of wood that sticking in your side hadn't hit nothing vital, or else you would have been unable to revive with my magic." She talked as innocent as she looked. Her giant magical teddy bear on the other hand sounded as viscous as he looked. "So, hunter are you staying of going with us?"

"I guess i have no choice. You can protect me until i heal, after i'll repay the favor by protecting you on your journey to whatever far land you wish to go." Xavier offered." What do you say little one?"

Giggling, she replied, "Sounds good, but don't call me little." She paused as she heated their dinner with her bare hands, then continued "What is your name hunter?"

Hesitating he answered, "Xavier, miss?"

"Annie, and this is my teddy bear, Tibbers" she said pointing to her patchwork voodoo doll of a friend. "What do you hunt, Xavier?"

"I'm a fur trader Annie, I travel the seas and lands hunter rare animals for their pelts and furs to sell at markets and textile companies." He stated. "I lost a years worth of stockpile when my ship ran into the reef of this God forsaken chain of islands." He continued chewing his meal.

"Shhhh don't talk about the islands like that... these island are very old and sacred. They are protected by the undertaker and the ferryman. This place is the gateway to the underworld." She trimbled with fear and somewhat respect.

"Really?" he started to ask just as a giant transparent wolf leaped out of the tree from behind them pinning Annie to the ground. It kicked Tibbers away into the murky waters. Then once it had taken out those two it turned it's gaze to Xavier. With his revolvers in reach, he dove for them as the wolf started at him and shot two round into the beast skull making it vanish before his eyes.

Amazed Annie stood up dusting herself off. "How did you do that? That was a spirit beast from the underworld."

"I...I..I don't know, he stuttered then paused. "It was gonna hurt you so i just went for my revolvers to save you from it, and it charged me so i fired at it." He continued stunned by what had just happened.

"Let me see those guns." She held out her hand. He handed her the revolvers. "Whoa, where did you get these?" She demanded.

"I traded two hundred pelts for them and two months supply of meat from a village just off the coast of Ionia." he confessed. As she handed him back his guns.

"Well sir, you got a hell of a deal, those are etched with a exorcism spell from a tribe that worships the Dragoness of Light. This exorcism spell can send any evil force to the underworld." She explained their importance. Then asked, "Why did they give these up so easily?"

"What?" He asked stunned by her explaination. Then answered, "They said it was a bad winter, and their Goddess was smiling upon me that day." he stopped, "I just thought it was their weird way of telling me good luck and thank you."

Annie giggled, just as a sound from the bush beside her rattled and rustled until a large lynx jumped out and bit her on the arm. It started thrashing her around side to side. "HEY!" he yelled at the large cat. IT turned its eyes to him. It's eyes were a glowing green, as if it had been possessed. He was in a trance with the animal as it he and it were connected by a common soul.

"SHOOT IT" Annie screamed, bringing him back to reality. He didn't hesitate he shot the cat in the leg. A Large glow came from the animals leg, then it yelped out in pain then it's eyes flashed a light blue color. As it passed out a ghostly like green transparent gas flew out of its body and into the forest.

Breathing heavy he went over to check the large lynx. It was still living, the wound was bleeding from the gun shot. Annie came over and seared the wound to stop the bleeding. Xavier dug out the bullet and sewed up the hole. "Its was possessed by a spirit of the forest. WE need to get out of here." Picking up the injured animal Xavier carried the large cat on his shoulder as tibbers carried all their gear. At sun up the set sail on Annie's raft. "In four days time we will be in Freljord, there is where i live, we can take care of you and your pet their." She joked.

"I feel connected to this lynx. Like i've known him for.. for like... ever. I'll care for him until he is healed." He stated.

1 Month later...

"Annie, Me and Dash are leaving now. You and Tiblets there be safe." Xavier said picking up his gear and brushing his hand through Dash's tick coat.

"Be safe Xavier, don't forget us" She waved. "Don't forget to join the league like i said, those guns, Dash, and you would make a great addition to the league!"

"I will!" He yelled as he paddled his canoe away from the icy land of Freljord.
