Chris held her sword over one shoulder she was only a few claws short of a new necklace when she heard the girl cream. “Damn amateurs they make us all look bad” Swinging her sword around she let it fly then took a few steps back. Running forward she landed on the blade grabbing the handle she leapt forward landing on to of the plateau. “Does any one need help” she asked a girl was in a corner with a wooden spear and a large monster with even larger teeth trying to grab her foot. Without thinking she swung her sword slicing into the neck of the monster who turned and tried to bite her. Jumping out of the way of the beast she had to let go of her sword leaving it in the beast.
 
Lidia was shaking the monster stares down at her then lifts her up by the leg. She screams and tried to break free only to be let go after an unknown woman attacks. She falls to the ground and get knocked out cold. She lays limp on the ground as the battle ensues. Even though badly injured the monster growls lunges for the warrior.
 
Chris shakes her head what kind of warrior goes off on her own and gets knocked out so easily Look you have two choices leave as steaks or just leave” Landing in front of the monster she hacks through the legs leaving the legless monster to fly off the cliff. Grabbing the woman she throws her over her shoulder. “And not a prince charming in sight”
 
The monster was dead by the time it plummeted off the cliff. Lida was still out as the woman lifts her and carries her away. She didn't appear to be a slayer. She was not wearing any armor and had no weapons except for a small dagger and the wooden spear.
 
"You hungry" she asked the girl seemed poorly armed and out of place among so many monsters. she was sure she looked more like some ones daughter then a fighter. "I come all the way out here and come back with some girl" she would be mocked by every other hunter for failing to get her trophy. "you sure are lucky i found you"
 
she opened her kit almost never getting hurt the kit was almost full "Some anti venom should do to start" she noticed the girl was coming through and began to bandage her wounds. "do you hurt anywhere" she asks concerned.
 
Lidia looked around then scooted away from the woman, obviously frightened since the last thing she remembers is a monster grabbing her. She whimpers as she looks around, tears in her eyes.

“What’s you’re name” she asked offering some of her food from her pack a smile on her face before she placed it at her feet. It was clear that she had suffered some kind of trauma at the hands or claws of the monster “my name is Chrit”
 
She stopped whimpering when she realized the monster was gone and this woman was just trying to help her. She looked at the food and her stomach growled. She had nothing to eat for a while now. She took the food and ate it eagerly. She looked at the woman when she asked what her name was and in a soft, shy voice she spoked.


".....L-Lidia"
 
She smiled her own stomach growling like a beast ate a power bar and sat back checking for her own wounds. “What are you doing out here, alone and so badly armed” she asked wishing she could mark the monster off in her bounty book. She smiled slowly mouthing the stale food bar as the girl tore into her own. She was not the typical butch hunter tall with long red hair and a shapely body. “I mean what would be so important you would risk coming out here without a team” she was one to talk she never worked with men or women.
 
Lidia chewed on the food then looked away when the woman asked what she was doing out here alone. "W-Well actually I wasn't alone" she explained "I got separated from my group." she tried to get up but just fell back down. She was still too weak to get up. She was a petite dark haired girl and very frail looking. More than likely she came from a peasant family.
 
She frowned coming from lords and knights she did not like to see the weak hurt even if they went and did it themselves. “I have some medicine but it will take a while to get you’re strength back” stripping of any clothing in the way she began to massage her calf bandages and ointments could only do so much. “So who was in this group and why, I mean to be honest you don’t look like much of a fighter” perhaps a mob of villagers who chased of a baby monster or large group of smaller monsters. She felt bad for the girl it was clear the group abandoned her. “I was wondering did this monster attack you’re village” she may have been a sacrifice.
 
She blushed when her clothes where removed but let the woman do as she pleases. "T-Thank you. Well......yeah it did. I ran a away with a group of other villagers and got separated in all the chaos" she explained as the woman massaged her legs. She began to tense up at the memory of the monster attacking and killing villagers.
 
“Well that’s nothing to be ashamed of” most hunters did not mess around with other hunters of course most were earth all women or all men groups. She wondered how much the girl was used to sex and strangers. “Don’t worry I wouldn’t take advantage of you’re property or body”then again that is what she would have said no matter what. The girl was cute if on the small side of course men liked them that way. “I think you should be all right if I help you get back” she smiled moving up her long slender leg.
 
She looked at the woman then a shade of red spread along her cheeks as she felt her hand move up her leg. "Oh....t-thank you" she was sure what was waiting for them back at the village.
 
The village was little more then a few mud huts under a large rock overhand a small pond lay some distance away. “I need to buy some supplies” Many pelts hung from wood racks she made sure to keep close to the girl, she didn’t know why. "No one will hurt you"
 
"I-I know" she said, still nervous but knew deep down that the woman would not let any harm come to her. She nodded and looked around for a shop and spotted one. She led her to it and looked at what was available.
 
Charms items that were said to imbue the owner with abilities ranging from stealth to flight "This would look nice on you" the item was made of polished white bone and stone. It was clear the girl had been brought up by a poor family. “If you want you can join me on my next hunt” when ever that was she rarely took bounties and finding rare valuable monsters was much harder outside a guild still something about thee girl made her want to protect her.
 
She looked at the charm in awe "A-Are you sure you want to spend money on me?" she asked. She was indeed from a poor family and never had anyone be so kind to her. "Really?" she said in surprise of the woman's offer.
 
She looked the girl over she was born into money choosing to become a hunter as more a lark then to support herself. “Its no big deal besides if you are going to hang around me then you have to look better otherwise people will think poorly of me” the girl was not tiny but she looked as if she could use a few meals not that that prevented her from looking tasty well to monsters and men. “lets get a room and a meal, maybe a bath too” grabbing her hand she dragged her towards the only inn in town.
 
She nodded and took the charms then looked at it. It was beautiful. She can't believe it was hers. She then looked up again when Chris spoke once more and she followed willingly to the in. She looked around shyly as she stayed close to the woman while in the lobby.
 
She smiled the room was small most buildings were only a few stories making each foot worth its weight in gold. “You have to learn that you have value” placing her hand on her head she kissed her forehead. The girl was a more then a few years her junior still she felt like an older sister. “I always needed a mule” she teased a mule was the weakest member of the group who got the lions share of work tasks like cooking and setting camp.
 
She followed shyly. She looked around then got taken by surprise when the woman kissed her forehead. She blushed then it faded by her remark and then pouted "hey, I'm not a mule" she said.
 
She laughed "well you don’t look like a mule" the room was small a single bed and trunk. Sitting on the edge her thoughts were disrupted when the food arrived “maybe I should not have ordered the oats then”. she teased the woman.
