Arrow to the Heart[Solo/Job]

Oshibana, reminds her of bananas. Because of the name. But she shouldn't be thinking of jokes right now, an old man is waiting for her to fulfll a task she, had problems soaking in. Mostly because its her first time killing another human. Most of her time, she spent killing animals and giving them an honorable burial. She saved humans being attacked by monsters. This is the first time she is gonna kill another human. She is nervous, feelings running through her like blood.

She reached her location, Orion's weight was lifted of her shoulders and onto her hand. She wanted to talk to the old man first, but sadly the job came first. She hopes she could make the death quick.

Ior Valir stood before Haia, inside his backyard where in his younger days, trained. He had memories of this place, and thought it would be a good place to fight one last time. However, he doubted it. The girl that stood before him. She was shaking in her boots and her hand was not holding that bow of hers steady.

"Is this the first time you ever raised arms against another human?" Ior lets out his hoarse voice, but it boomed like a drum. Haia gave an honest nod. Ior could not help but feel a bit disappointed. The person who accepted his job is a complete beginner. Then again he asked for D-rank mages. Wait... is the girl here even a mage?

"You use the bow and arrow, odd for a mage, if you are one," Ior spoke again. He then saw something sharp in her eyes. Haia was bothered by that fact, but it was minor. Ior broke into a grin and raised his sword above his head and charged forward to cleave Haia.

'Damage Dice' :

Haia gets struck, she was not paying attention as she felt the blade hit her. Wait... it was just the flat side. She was knocked to Ior's lefr and rolls and draws her arrow. She watched the old man raise his kite shield in front of him as he attempted another strike. She aimed for the sword hand.

'Damage Dice' :

Ior gets struck by the arrow and staggers back, he pulls the arrow out of his wrist and lets go of the longsword. He could not tolerate pain like he used to. Time has brought his body to such a brittle state. He still had one good hand. He pulls the arrow out and groans in pain and throws it aside with force, causing the arrow to stick out of the ground as its head planted itself into the dirt.

Haia became shaky again as she got up, her first attack on the old man gave her a shock. She never felt this horrid for firing another living being.

"IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT?" Ior screamed at her, he grabbed his long sword with his shield hand and held it backhand, the tip of the blade touched the floor. "SHOW ME YOU CAN KILL ME!" Determination filled his eyes as he watched Haia's eyes glow with determination, the eyes of a hunter. He charges towards Haia and when he got enough distance he swung the long sword to Haia's side.

'Block Dice' :

Haia was again hit with the flat side and crashed into Ior's potted plants. She got up quickly to avoid giving Ior another chance at hitting her.

Ior felt alive, even with the endless pain coming from his wrist and back. The feeling of battle fills his soul as he watched the girl draw her arrow once more and watches three arrows of light appear beside her. Her eyes were focused on him. He bangs his head against his kite shield.

"YOUR PUNY MAGIC WON'T KILL ME THAT EASILY HAHA!!" Ior taunted, giving her a full view of his body. It was a good feeling, and now it shall be the last thing he feels. But then he sees the girl cry. He looks at her with genuine curiosity. He walks up to Haia and smiles. "Dear girl, you know... When I first started, I was like you, nervous scared and hesitant to kill another human. But thing is, your path requires you to kill another human, whoever it may be. But whatever you do, please kill for a good cause, never seek humans as your prey. I know I can sense the hunter in you." Ior steps away and drives his longsword into the ground and looks up to the sky, exposing his throat and hiding his tears as days of his youth flash in his mind. Perhaps death in battle without passing his wisdom was a bad idea to begin with. And now that he did. He was ready to leave.

Haia drew her bow once more, this time without Yumi active. She aims the throat and let's loose the arrow.

'Damage Dice' :

The arrow went though Ior's head clean. Haia stood there, she did not know how to feel right now. Sad, happy, scared. Mixed emotions filled her heart. She watches Ior, he stood firmly straight for a dead man but he drops to the ground soonafter she thought that. The longsword's blade glistenned in the sunlight. She watched something special for the first time. An angel descended before her and puts a hand on Ior's body. She draws out a white ball and looks at Haia. She could feel Ior's days of battle flood her brain until the angel looked towards the sky and flew off. She had done her job successfully. A wind blew her cloak and hair and whistled its tune.

She looked around Ior's house and found a shovel under his bed. She took a look around, battle ornaments were kept clean and rust free. She could an altar for whoever Ior worshipped and his battle armor stared down at her. She makes her way down to the backyard once more.

Haia looked at her work. A small mound indicated Ior's dead body. His long sword was driven into it and from it hung a small hanging flower vase. It already had one flower from Haia. She would call a stone mason to crave Ior a gravestone. She walked back into the house and grabbed the bag that was left for her by Ior before his death. 1500 jewels. She felt a bit more experienced now. She grabed her arrows, now clean of dirt and blood and bags and locked the door and placed the keys under the carpet at his doorstep. She could not utter a word the whole day after this.
